Finger Painting Trauma

Oh, I had to show you guys this pic. Brianna was finger painting for the first time with her little friend, Leah, & you can see that she is not enjoying herself. She hates having "sticky" hands. I made her put her hands in the paint & then she got upset & held out her hands for me to wash them off. Too funny! Leah painted Brianna's picture for her. :) I guess my paranoia about germs & dirt have rubbed off on her! :)

Fun at the Park

This pic was taken at Heritage Park near our home. Brianna loves the slide & swings. She's also just discovered that she can climb around the "older kid" part of the playground. One of us always goes up with her just to be safe! :) She's such a "dare-devil"...as soon as we put her at the top of the slide she just takes off down the slide whether we're there to catch her or not! Her new word of the day is "baby." She's been attempting to say a lot of words lately & even though they don't always sound right at least she's trying. She played with Play Do for the first time this week & loves it! She hasn't tried eating it yet...phew! I was wanting to add more pics to this entry but I'm having technical difficulties. I may have to do them separately.

Welcome to Our Blog!

We are very excited to finally have our very own blog! We are hoping this will help in keeping you updated on our lives. We just celebrated Brianna's 1/2 b-day on Wed. She's now a very grown up 18 mo. old! She tries to say new words each day & never ceases to put a smile on our faces. And of course you all know that we are expecting baby #2. The official due date is May 2. This was my mom's due date for me (Lisa), but I was born a week late. I'm hoping the baby has it's own b-day which means it can't be born on May 9th! :) I had my first doc appointment this week & everything is fine so far. It was too early to actually hear the heartbeat, but by my next appt. (week 12) we should be able to hear it. I'm in week 9 & I'm definitely feeling the effects of pregnancy. I'm nauseated 24/7 & have been getting sick a lot more than I did with Brianna. I guess it's a good sign that there is a lot of pregnancy hormone in my system. We will keep you posted on the progress of the pregnancy. Hope you enjoy our blog! :)
