A Quick Post for #2

I am surprised that I am still pregnant- just 2 weeks left until my due date and it doesn't look this little bambino wants to come anytime soon. This pregnancy has been a lot different than last time and I am anxious to see if this baby will have a different temperament. This is a picture from our 3 D ultrasound- it looks just like Elise's 3 D ultrasound (but with a little more chunkiness). I love to hear everyone's predictions about what we are having. Hopefully we will find out soon!

Birthday Cake

Elise loved her birthday cake. She was so cute when everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to her and she had to blow the candles out twice! She definitely has my sweet tooth.

Birthday Pics

Cute little pixie!

Our house looked like a daycare with all of the kids and toys!

Opening presents.

Mission Complete

I have made it my goal to update this blog before the baby comes and I'm finally doing it- yay! The last couple of months have been very busy with various events and activities. Of course the most important of those being Elise's second birthday on April 13th! She had a Tinkerbell party and celebrated with family and friends. This was such a fun birthday because she actually understood that everything was for her and she was so excited.

Elise was 33.5 inches and weighed 23 lbs 6 oz at her 2 year checkup, and is finally in the 10th percentile for weight! She is the typical rambunctious two year old- she loves to learn, sing, play, and talks like you wouldn't believe. Brian and I just crack up at some of the things that come out of her mouth. We definitely have some "terrible two" meltdowns, but then she can be the sweetest, most caring little thing.

I am kind of sad that she won't be my baby anymore, but I am excited to see her as a big sister.

SHARING

ELISE AND ELIZABETH WERE FIGHTING OVER THESE DOLLS THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK. I HAD TO PUT ELISE IN TIME-OUT FOR BEING MEAN AND HATED TO LEAVE HER LIKE THAT. I'M GLAD TO SEE THEY FINALLY WORKED IT OUT (THANKS FOR THE PICTURE ELISA)!

AIRPLANE ANGEL

I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED THAT ELISE WOULD NOT LIKE THE PLANE, BUT SHE WAS SO GOOD ON OUR TRIP! SHE JUST PLAYED ON THE PLANE ON THE WAY THERE AND THEN SHE SLEPT THE ENTIRE FLIGHT COMING HOME!

MUSEUM

WHILE VISITING DAVE, WE WENT TO THE "PLEASE TOUCH ME" MUSEUM IN PHILADELPHIA. I WAS A LITTLE HESITANT ABOUT THE NAME, BUT IT WAS THE COOLEST PLACE FOR KIDS! IT WAS ALL HANDS ON AND INTERACTIVE.

OUR TRIP TO DELAWARE

MY MOM, ELISE, AND I TOOK A QUICK TRIP TO SEE MY BROTHER DAVE IN DELAWARE. WE HADN'T SEEN THE FAMILY SINCE THEY MOVED THERE IN SEPTEMBER. IT WAS GREAT TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM AND CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!

SLEEPY HEAD UNCLE DAVE AND BABY BELLA

NEWPORT AQUARIUM

WE TOOK ELISE TO THE NEWPORT AQUARIUM. SHE HAD A GREAT TIME RUNNING AROUND AND SEEING ALL OF THE "FISHIES".

DADDY'S GIRL

PEEK A BOO WITH GRANDMA

CANDY CANE HUNT

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAD A CANDY CANE HUNT IN THE GREEN SPACE LAST MONTH. I THOUGHT ELISE WOULD BE TOO YOUNG TO REALLY ENJOY IT, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES SHE WAS VERY INTO IT!

SHE WAS SO FOCUSED ON GETTING THOSE CANDY CANES.

SCORE!!!

ENJOYING HER HARD WORK!

YUMMY HOT CHOCOLATE:)
