And she's off . . .

She's takin 2 or 3 steps here and there but today was a different story. Margaret had crawled into the living room to wait for daddy in the window. Memo had stopped by to say hello so I told Margaret lets show her how you can walk (aka take a few steps!). She sure did . . . surprised us both!! It was around 13 steps. She walked across the rug so many times I started loosing count. Daddy didn't believe us when he got home so we had to show him again . . . and again . . . and again!!!

I am going to be a BIG SISTER sometime the middle of October!

Surprised?!?! I am just to say the least. I am 11 weeks today and due October 12. I have been extremely sick for the last 2 months. It has been a long few months but couldn't of done it with out the fabulous grandparents and the best husband in the world!! The nausea is getting better but the energy level is barely there. Might be due to the lack of sleep I am getting as well. I am approaching the second trimester and am praying to get my energy back. Not easy taking care of a busy one year old while pregnant! The kids will be 19 months apart (sorry for those I have told 17, my brain is not working :). I am a little nervous but know we will have so much fun!

Look Whooo's One!

It's my birthday!!!!

Margaret had a great first birthday with lots of family and friends who came from near and far to celebrate. It was a great time had by all. Lots of pizza, drinks and sugar!!

The delicious cupcakes Memo made

and the precious smash cake she got. Thanks again!!!

Why is everyone staring at me ?!?! :)

She wasn't so sure about the cake so Memo showed her how yummy it is

She quickly found out she loves icing!!

A quick stand up on her own!

Happy Birthday sweet girl!!!!

Thank you to everyone who helped! Bebe's appetizers, Gigi's salad, Memo's dessert, and to Uncle Dick for not only watching Margaret during the day but also helping set up. I couldn't of done it without yall!!!

XOXOXO

Happy 1st Birthday

Sweet baby girl!!!

It has been an amazing year! You have brought so much joy and happiness into our lives and love you more than words can say! We look forward to another wonderful year ahead!

LOVING this weather!!!

Who wouldn't! :)

We have spent a lot more time outdoors playing . . . with Tucker. She loves watching him catch the ball.

Her giggle box has turned on BIG time. It is soooooo cute. We have yet to capture it on video but promise to do so. She has gone back to squinting her eyes and nose in excitement.

She was so exhausted after playing hard one morning she crashed for a 2 hour afternoon nap . . . which is normally nearly impossible for her to take.

Before . . .

and

After!

The painters are FINALLY finished. It was a long few weeks under house arrest!!!

Margaret had a great time watching the guys from each window and occasionally from outside. Who could stay indoors on such a gorgeous day!

We love the color and can not wait for the shutters to be finished!

Books!

Memo brought over a bunch of my books that I had growing up

Margaret was obviously in heaven

and didn't know which one to read first!

Saturday started off a lil messy

which made for an early bubble bath

The weather was so nice this past weekend, we had lunch outside while dad organized the garage.

She finally thinks the sippy cup is not a game. She spits the water out most of the time but she is getting the hang of it.

Loving the warm weather!
