I LOVE my Daddy XOXO

The last week has been so fun with Bella...she is getting so brave and has started to trying to take steps all on her own even when we are not right in front of her! It looks like Mommy will be shopping for some walking shoes sooner than later. I just can't believe that she is so mobile at 8 months already but I am thankful because I've started to grow in the midsection area and baby Channel #2 is starting to wear a bit on me when I carry Bella for too long! She is over 20 lbs now so after awhile I have to take a break. The stroller, shopping carts and our wide open living room are my saviors these days :) She is so snuggly still, so sometimes it's hard to deny those baby blues when she throws her little hands up toward you. Matt says it's his favorite thing in the morning...along with her open mouth kisses. She loves to kiss but they are very slobbery and it just cracks you up when she does it.

We visited Dr. Spoon this last week and everything looks wonderful, healthy baby healthy heartbeat and most of all, we received a call on our Downs and Trisomy 18 tests and they were both negative. No matter how much you pray and feel like everything is going great, you still worry about all of the what ifs....so it's nice to hear positive test results and have one less thing to worry about.

We also had our friends Annie and Eric over this week, and their little girel Makenna is a perfect play partner for Bella. They are each such happy babies and love to get around, it was hysterical because they kept climbing over each other. It didn't seem to bother either of them but they were adorable to watch. Makenna is 6 weeks older than Bella and I'm so happy they will be so close, since Eric and I have known each other for what seems like forever....since we were 9!! It's awesome to now see our little girls together becoming friends! Before we know it we'll be taking pictures of them headed to the prom with some boys that Eric nor Matt will trust or like no matter how great of a kid they are :) hahaha Gotta love the protective Daddys!!

Love to you all and I hope you all are enjoying the great weather.....loving the walks outside!!

Cheeeeeeeeeese!!!!

Our big girl took her first steps this week!!! Yay Bella!!! It was so cute and they were a bit of a mess but she got a good 3-4 steps in each time and was so proud of herself she was actually squealing with excitement....maybe because Mommy was squealing too hahaha. I was very excited to say the least but of course I want her to slow down and not grow up so fast!!! I love my cuddly girl and I don't want her to change :)

Isabella hung out with her first clown this week and amazingly she wasn't even remotely frightened! I just figure everyone is afraid of clowns...maybe because Matt and I aren't too fond of them. We blame the movie "IT" for that...even though if you watch the movie today it is not even half as scary as it was back in the day. Okay...anyways, rambling! But we had a great day enjoying the cooler weather and a picnic with the family. We have been outside all week enjoying friends and little Bella this week because we don't have a very large window where the weather is bearable....it goes from 120 degrees to cold and windy in a heartbeat!

She is quite the ham and knows it...she is dancing on her own when music comes on and we have to say "Go Bella...It's Your Bday" and she'll really get down. So funny. She just knows she's funny and works the room....oh goodness, we're in trouble.

We'll keep you updated, we visit the doctor again this week so hopefully everything is going wonderful. Thankfully I'm feeling great and I'm hoping to begin gaining some weight soon...I'm a bit behind so doc says start packing 'em on girl! Stay posted for growing belly!!!

Love to you all XOXO

Baby Channel #2 Baby Poll

We are keeping Baby Channel #2 a surprise, even to ourselves!! That's right, since the little one decided to surprise Mommy and Daddy we figured why not keep the element going until that special day when Dr. Spoon announces "It's A____"!!!

Please visit http://www.expectnet.com/games/BabyChannel2 to guess the sex, length, weight, and birth date of Baby Channel #2!!! Auntie Beth is the reigning champion so we'll see what happens this year. Sorry everyone but this is your last year to join....there will NOT be another baby poll for 2010 :) hehehe

Baby "B" is 13 Wks 4 Days!!

Waving at us!

Bella sings Happy Bday to GiGi!


64 years together and celebrating 95 Big Ones! Love them :)

Hi Everyone! I had a very positive doctor's appointment this morning after a slight scare we had over the weekend. Mommy has been going way too much lately (2 weddings in 2 weekends) and Miss Bella is all over the place! So, doc says I have to start taking it easier! Duh Sunnie...you ARE pregnant. Sometimes you just get going and feel so great and then you end up paying for it later I guess. Never again because Baby "B" and Bella are my priorities so whatever I have to do to protect these two little loves is a-okay with me.

I know some of you look at ultrasound pictures and quite frankly it looks either like a blob to you or some sort of alien...but of course Matt and I see precious little hands, a face, an elbow and wrist and even the little body. For those of you Mommys and Daddys out there I'm sure you can all see them too since I feel if you have had one pregnancy and studied the ultrasounds like all parents do, you become an expert at looking at these things!! Baby "B" is already grown to about 6 cm and I'm feeling the early feeling of those ligaments stretching in my tummy a bit but other than that, not much else looks like I'm pregnant yet. In my first pregnancy I couldn't wait to get a big belly!! Im taking my time this time because I know what's coming...when they say you get huge...you get HUGE!!! hahaha

We celebrated Grandpa's 95th Birthday this weekend with lots of family in town and Bella was so excited to spend the day with her GiGis (Great Grandma and Great Grandpa). As you can see, matt and I decided Grandpa should sport some sexy hair for his big day. Lookin' good Grandpa :) Bella runs the house pretty much these days, she has two teeth on the bottom and we are patiently waiting the top two. Poor thing just chews on everything in sight because they are killing her. Other than that, I still think she is happiest baby I have ever met and she puts a smile and belly laughter on our faces and in our hearts each and every day. We are so lucky and to think we will get another one in just a few months.....so exciting!!!!

Love to you all!!

Isabella 32 Weeks!

Hello Everyone!! So, I hope you are all very proud that I have actually updated the blog consistently lately!!! yay Mommy Sunnie!! hahaha I think I may have worked off my morning sickness by chasing our busy little bee around the house!! Or maybe it's that I don't have time to think about the morning sickness lately! My tummy is getting a little hard in my lower abdomen already and we have another doctor's appt. on Tuesday! Isabella, as you see, is now climbing. Yes, she is 7 months old and she is 1) pulling herself up on everything 2) scaling the side of the couch 3) climbing on top of anything that is her height!! Oy vey!! She scares the bejesus out of me half the time and I really have to keep an eagle eye on this one at all times. She is loving her books and it keeps her busy for quite awhile...and since she has discovered Sesame Street she adores watching it.

We are headed to Hawaii next week so please wish us luck on the flight with our antsy Bella! I think I may buy Starbucks gift cards for the other passengers around us just in case she goes postal! haha She should be fine I'm sure (since this is her 2nd trip to Hawaii already) and we are really looking forward to seeing Colleen & Marcus get married and see all of my planning come to fruition. I can't wait to enjoy beautiful Kauai and some much needed relaxation. My Mom is going with us so it is going to be a great family trip as well...we haven't had one in a long time so I'm looking SO forward to it. I just wish we could stay for a couple of weeks!

I hope all is well in your little piece of the world...love to you all!!!
