Lila Being Lila

I keep thinking about how very soon it will no longer be just me and Lila during the day. We are so excited for Calvin to come but I wonder how it will affect Lila. I think she will be a great big sister and love the company but I really don't know how she will respond to this life-changing event. I'm constantly thinking of how to get her ready. We've been working on sleep training, feeding herself, and just being a little more independent during playtime. I'm hoping this will help. She is amazing and really has learned so much in such a short amount of time.

For the past little while, I forget about how I want her to be independent and I cuddle her longer, kiss her soft cheeks more often, and just study her more as she plays. I love her so much and want the best for her. I feel incredibly blessed to be her mother and hope she knows how much I love her.

Lila is very sweet and affectionate. Her latest is blowing kisses and it is so cute! I love all her facial expressions and there are a lot:) She also has many laughs, even a pity laugh! Her curiosity is hilarious and I laugh often at the things she does. She seems to have a careful/adventurous spirit about her. I enjoy watching her grow and change and look forward to seeing her personality develop even more. I just love my little Lila!!!

Here are a few recent, favorite pics of her.

Love you Lila!:)

2 More Weeks...

Well...maybe.

.

You never really know, but I have a feeling Calvin is coming on his due date (April 6th) and not a moment sooner. Guess we will have to wait and see. We are excited and ready to meet our little guy:)

Trucks and Dirt...

Some friends of mine were kind enough to throw me a baby shower. It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of good food! I thought to take pictures as people showed up but then got distracted. Here's pics of the food and decorations.

I loved the quote tree and how the food was in buckets:)

After we ate, we played some games. One of the games was the Attribute game. Everyone had a list of attributes and had to guess what attribute they thought Chris and I wanted Calvin to have from each of us. I don't know if that makes sense or not but it was a cute game. After the games I opened presents. Calvin is gonna look so cute in all of his new outfits!! Thanks everyone for coming and for the great gifts!

Thanks for throwing the shower:) I had so much fun and you girls are awesome!!

What a Difference a Year Makes...

Chris and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary yesterday! Yay for us:) Chris took a half day to hang out with me and Lila. It was a nice, relaxing day. Then Chris and I got dressed up and went out for dinner. It's so refreshing to spend time together, just the two of us. We can hold hands, talk without interruptions, and we don't feel like we're on someone else's schedule. Love it!

It's crazy to think we have only been married two years! It feels like so much more than that with all the life changes in the last two years. We have lived in three different states and are expecting our second baby! Our life is amazing and I wouldn't change a thing:) We have been and continue to be so blessed. I love my husband! He is perfect for me and I love sharing our life together.

Some pics from the night:

Happy Anniversary to Us:)
