HELP!!!!!

Okay, so since I am having another girl I have felt pretty much prepared to have Bella. I mean, we already have a girl so we have everything right? No, the only thing that is driving me insane is their room. Decorating it. My colors are Red and yellow (preferably yellow with white polka dots). I have searched everywhere online and can not find anything. No bedding, curtains, pillows, nothing. As a person who likes to decorate this is highly frustrating.  I have resulted in making a blanket for Sydney with red and yellow. And now I am forced to make curtains because for some reason the world does not think red and yellow should go together. If there is some magical website for red and yellow things can someone please let me know. Unfortunately I have started nesting ( ...yeah.... sort of) and I can not do a thing about their room. So if there is anyone out there that can help.. please let me know. Anything would help. Thanks!!!

Our big girl

Right now we are working on Sydney's potty training. I am hoping to have a good foundation on the potty training before Bella comes. So the other night when I was taking Sydney out of the bathtub she looked at me and said " mommy, Sydney go potty in the big girl potty". So naturally I put her on her little potty and after a minute she told me she was all done. I looked at the potty when she got up and to my much amazement she actually really went in the potty... and not just a trickle by the way. I was so happy, I was trying to make a big deal out of this so she knows and wants to do it again. So since Quinton was gone working that night and was not there we called both set of Grandparents, cousins, and our best friends Tiffany and Avery. Sydney loved talking to everyone and telling them that she went in the big girl potty. I am so proud of my little girl, for not even going potty but telling me that she had to go. A HUGE development!!! We love you Sydney and are so proud of everything you do. She is now one step closer to being more of a big girl.

Funny Faces


One of the features of our new computer is this program called Photo Booth. It can distort your face and a whole bunch of stuff. Sydney thinks it is so much fun and loves to play around on this program. This is us just fooling around. Have fun!!!

Mean Eyes Sydney

Here are some pictures that I took the other day of Sydney. The last picture I asked her to show me her  "Mean Eyes" and this is what she did. I was laughing so hard. It is hard to believe how much she keeps on growing up on us. She is almost 2 1/2 years old now. We are so excited when she becomes a big sister. She will be great!!! We love you Sydney.




Fruit Snack Face

So the other day Sydney was eating a snack when she called me over to the table.
Sydney " Look Mommy, face. Eyes, nose, mouth and cheeks."
Me " Wow Sydney, it actually does look like a face, good job princess."
I was so shocked that it actually really did look like a face. I quickly took a picture before she ate it, but holy cow. I am just impressed that she can find a face in her fruit snacks.  Can you say my daughter is an Artistic Genius ( or at lease in my eyes she is).



28 1/2 weeks

Here is my almost 29 week belly. She is getting huge!!! Bella is starting to get more and more hiccups ( I don't know how it works, but she has them). I think it is so fun to feel them. We will find out tomorrow how big she really is at our last ultrasound with my specialist. And sorry about the PJ pants, they are comfy. Only 2 more months to go!!!

Q & A Time

Here are some questions that I have been getting a lot lately. So here is everything just so we can clear up the air...

 Q- Wow you are careering  really low, you must be having a boy.
 A. Nope actually, I am having a girl

 Q. Are you sure you are having a girl?
  A. Yes, we have had 3 ultra sounds ( another one at the end of the month) and they all show that she is a girl. So yes, we are positive that we are having another girl.

Q. So are you disappointed that you are having another girl?
 A. Seriously? No, In my perfect world I wanted another girl anyways. Sydney has so much girl stuff I could be  having twin girls and be fine with clothes. Besides, when we have more kids the girls can always share a room. I am way excited to be having another girl. What kind of question is that anyways? And you know what is more disappointing, this questions I have gotten the most out of any other questions. Seriously people.

 Q. How far apart will the girls be?
 A. 2 1/2 years. Which in my opinion it is perfect for us. But I am still getting some weird looks.

 Q. So you guys are going to be moving right since you live in a 2 bedroom apartment?
 A. Nope, like I said, girls can share a room together.

 Q. Is this pregnancy different from Sydney's?
 A. O my gosh yes. Like I said before, Bella is really low, so there are different challenges with being lower then being in the middle with Sydney. Bella is a lot more active then Sydney ever was. And if you know Sydney's personality that is so her Mello ( Well not anymore she is 2 after all). She is very much like Quinton. Bella is going to be our little firecracker. I have gotten more stretch marks with Bella since she is a such a  kicker. She is going  to be killing me at the end of this pregnancy.

 Q. So..... did you get the name for Bella from a certain book?
  A. No. Quinton and I have decided on the name Bella over a year and a half ago. Before we ever heard of Twilight. But yes, I do love the Twilight series. Go team Edward/ Jacob!!!


 So this pretty much sums up everything. Thanks for listening/reading and hope you all have a good day!

Here's the belly

Here is my 27 week belly. I am getting HUGE!!! I am now an official waddler, yes I waddle now. So sad. But everything is going great with the pregnancy. Bella is quite the kicker and now can really be felt if you touch my tommy. Now comes to the point where I feel like Buddha, everyone rubbing my tummy ( get it?). Anyways, enjoy the picture.

Who needs hands anyways...

So the other day Sydney thought she was pretty cool when she was playing around with her juice cup. She kept on telling me to look at it and I could never find her juice cup, not until she pointed it out to me. Who needs hands when you can just use the couch? She thought she was so funny, we just started laughing with her and told her good job. Don't you love how little minds work.



Erin and Lylah

A couple of Days ago my cousin David ( who is Oversea's and coming home soon) his wife Erin and sweet little daughter Lylah come over for dinner. It was so much fun seeing them and especially little Lylah. She has the most beautiful blue eyes and Sydney loved playing with her. It was a short visit but great memories we made. Great to see you Erin and Lylah!!!



Look at the baby blue eyes... so pretty

Have I already said that she is so cute!!!

                                        Lylah pretty much has the cutest crawl I have ever seen. She sticks her bum    straight in the air and straightens her legs and goes. And let me tell you, this little girl can move!!!
