Spring Fever!!

As promised...here are a few new pictures of our Lil P!!! She's definitely a SPOILED ROTTEN MESS, and that's just how we love her=)

Just plain difficult!

There's no other word to describe what I just did, besides "difficult". In preparation for our Vegas trip (which is officially in ONE WEEK...yippie), I needed to write a letter and get it notarized giving someone custody of Lil P if God forbid something happened to The Knight and I. We are both 100% confident that my sister and brother-in-law would be the absolute perfect pair to raise our little princess...BUT what parent ever wants to think about that?! I mean, I don't ever want to leave my little girl...especially not when she's only 19 months. But being the semi responsible person I am, it had to be done.
UGH...that was just plain difficult!!

Updates on my two babes...

Lil P is doing fabulous, as always!!!! She's getting taller and I believe she's thinning out a bit too. She continues to be an extremely happy little girl, with the exception of the crazy temper that rears it's ugly head every now and then. She's getting into everything these days, and taking more risks than ever before. For example she fell twice today, leaving a few bruises on her beautiful face. She adores her daddy, and she thinks her momma is pretty swell too. Lil P is cutting a few new teeth, so she's been a bit uncomfortable recently. She's doing great at daycare, and her teachers continue to praise her for her good behavior and sweet personality. On Thursday, the Knight and I took her to see the Easter Bunny. Lil P LOVED him from a distance, but wanted absolutely nothing to do with him up close. Needless to say, neither one of us wanted to torment our little princess...so there will be no bunny pictures this year. Next week, while The Knight and I are in Vegas, Lil P will be staying with her Aunt Jill, Uncle Tom, and cousins. I'm sure she will have a BLAST with them, heck she might not even want to come home with us when we return. This will be the first time The Knight and I both are gone at the same time, so I'm sure it'll be much tougher on us than on her. We plan to Skype while we are gone, and I bet Aunt Jill will even take a few pictures to send us, in hopes of keeping us content without the princess.

Squirt is a kicking machine! I believe he's now the length of an ear of corn, and weighs close to 1.5 lbs. Last week The Knight felt him kick for the very first time...it was wonderful! He really is moving all the time, which I completely and utterly adore! We go back to the Dr. on Wednesday where we will have another ultrasound, further confirming It's A Boy! Hopefully Squirt won't be so hard headed this time, therefore we can get a few great pictures of him to share with all of you!

Well that's it for now...The Knight is working on Lil P's Spring pictures, and I'll upload them as soon as I can.

Much Love!

::weekend of firsts::

This weekend has been filled with firsts...first time we are adding a baby boy to my side of the family since TJ was born (23 yrs ago), first time this season my little family of 3 and 1/2 went to the park, and the first time Lil P actually helped me out in the kitchen. We have had a tremendously blessed weekend!!!
Friday, The Knight accompanied me to my MD apt, only to find he will soon be the proud Da Da to a baby boy!!! We are extremely excited and shocked. I think both of us would have loved to have had a little boy, but we were well prepared to hear that we'd be having another little princess. Honestly I think I'm still a little bit in denial. Lil P will be a FANTASTIC big sister, I just know it. I have high hopes that this lil guy will be on "Team Momma", since it's obvious most days that Lil P's allegiance is for "Team Da Da". Lil P and her Da Da are two peas in a pod, seriously they love one another so much...just like I love my own daddy. There's just something about the love of a daddy, that no one else can replace. On Saturday, after I was pampered at a spa for 2 1/2 hrs (Valentine's gift from The Knight), I went SHOPPING! Yup, I most certainly had to buy blue things...and of course some new pink things too! Take a look what I got for my little man...

It was SO different buying things in blue, instead of my normal pink and/or purple. Don't worry, Lil P walked away with new sippy cups, plates/utensil sets, and a crazy hot pink squishy truck...both of my youngins were well taken care of=)
After shopping and lunch, The Knight and I decided to take Lil P to the park for some fun in the sun. Brad and Katy went with us, and we had a great time being outside! Lil P loved the swing, but really loved the slides more. She was in total awe as she watched the big kids run everywhere!

Needless to say we all had a great time, and all got well deserved baths/showers when we returned home. I really do hope this nice weather continues for the days and weeks to come!
This morning, Lil P helped me make chess pies for The Knight's birthday dinner! Tonight we are grilling out steak and chicken, with baked potatoes, salad, rolls, and veggies. Yumm Yumm. Paw and Granny are coming to share in the birthday meal. The Knight will be turning the big 30 on Tuesday!!!!

Yes, Lil P is a natural born helper!! She did great in the kitchen=)
Well that's all for now (I think). I'll get an updated belly picture and maybe a picture of our little man on here soon! Have a great Sunday afternoon and a wonderful work week!
