Meet our new one!

Many of you know we aren't finding out the gender of this little one until Armanie's 'baby' arrives in June, but I couldn't resist a (free) 3D ultrasound. Here are a few shots of this adorable babe!

Snuggled up with it's hands to the left

a little grin

look at that lip line

Sweet yawn!

19 weeks! This baby already has a

loving sister. Every morning she comes in

and says, "I listen to the baby",

Then, 'Daddy's turn'

Lately hours are not enough for this little one, outside. Tears to get in the stroller and tears to get into her carseat!

The fastest slide she's been on yet. A little scary for me, but she had it under control and rode it a dozen or so times

Riding her bike for 2 miles! Well sitting on her bike for 2 miles while I pushed. We love this tric!

How do you like them apples?

These pictures were taken last fall at an apple orchard but they fit the story...

Last week Armanie and I went to a farmers market. Where we found an array of yummy fruits. Apples being one of A's favorites. Here are some of the moves she does when around them.

Cuddles it

Pokes it Then she did the old hide-n-go-sink her teeth in the apple! I wished you could have seen the elation she had when she knew the apple was now hers. She marked it! Then imagine how sad she was when her mother whisked it off to the register to purchase her theivened apple. She made a scene, everything shy of pounding the paved walkway! I could barely keep her in my arms as she wailed about with screeches and moans. But when she was reunited with her purchased apple she really love it. I don't think there is a more efficient apple eater around! If only I can teach her to spit our the seeds...when finished, she simply says, thank you and hands me a half eaten stem.

The two watching the industrial size apple pealer, slicer, corer. Magical

In this video Santa has just made his way to Santa's chair and children have run to be the first in line. This is what Armanie thinks about it. Not much has changed from last year!

Armanie and Jerry a year later!

She owned this house from the moment the candy arrived not deterred once from decorating or even tempted much by sampling the stucco or fixtures.

She loved it.

and licked her fingers when she was done!

Winter is in our house!! Thermostat said 56 degrees

I broke and turned on the heater Come on PG&E bill I want to see how much you are!

Armanie loves this photo book her YaYa sent to her. So much it can be the perfect incentive to clean her room, brush her teeth, pretty much whatever I want her to do. And she love showing her friends like Viv, the boo boo she got over the summer or her cousin Rowdy!

Armanie's fashion these days

I've tried to fix the text so it lines up and isn't so helter skelter but to no avail, excuse my inability to make my blog look pretty

"textually"

ps Locke just reminded me of where helter skelter originated. I'm using it for the meaning of chaotic but you can say I 'murdered' this post with the horrible text placement. Help is needed by proficient bloggers!!

Visitors

This was so long ago. But my sister and her little one came Ella had a rude awakening of what it's like to be with a 2 year old. Poor girl only slept when she was away from Armanie Here she is after a 20 minute outting in the back pack.

These two are going places. See Ella so excited shes coming out of the screen in the front! Heather wants a bike for Christmas just FYI Towards the end of the visit...they are better friends

After an evening stroll. The wagon becomes a bed. She stayed like this for a good 3 blocks

We are expecting. See side bar for more details but the babe is due sometime in June. I have to keep perspective with this preg. I do feel more sick but that's because my body is working right?! Almost out of the woods with sickness stuff and feeling better everyday but still not ME.

Yogurt kisses

Miss Cinderella herself

It's only a matter of time until she finds one!
