Summer has a Secret....

I have a secret.....

I'm going to be a BIG sister!

That's right! Tom and I found out on our cruise that we are expecting baby #2!!! We are all VERY excited! Lil' Pumpkin is due October 8th (so I am just over 12 weeks along). Lil' Pumpkin has been making me feel pretty sick and very tired. I am starting to feel much better and am so happy to be pregnant again.

We found out on Day 5 of our cruise-Wednesday, February 2, 2010.

We told our parents by mailing them postcards with the news on it! It was very hard to wait for them to get their postcards but a fun way to tell them!

The official digital Pregnancy test.

We have had 2 Dr's appointments so we have Lil' Pumpkin's first pictures and have heard the heartbeat twice!

Visitors from Maryland! March 4th-7th

March 4th-7th

The Glodek Family came to visit from Maryland!

We had such a great time!

Erika and I have been friends since high school and it's just unbelievable that we both have little ones now. She and Bill were married about a week before I had Summer so I wasn't able to go to their wedding so it was great to get to know him even more during this visit.

Their son Mason, 15 months old, is such a cutie! Summer had so much fun with May May and still looks for him and asks about it him.

Friday-The Glodek Family arrived after 24 hours of travel (they stopped at a hotel along the way). Needless to say Mason was excited to be free and have lots of toys to play with.

Saturday-We took them to Papa Jack's Country Kitchen-YUM! Everyone enjoyed a big breakfast. It was a rainy day but a good one for getting pedicures. That's what Erika, Melissa and I did! The guys hung out, watched some basketball and took naps.

That evening we went out to dinner with some neighbors and then went to Casino night in our neighborhood. Thanks to Aunt Lis for babysitting!

Sunday-We had breakfast at my parents and then headed to World Of Coke. After that Tom cooked on the Big Green Egg.

Monday-Erika and I took Mason and Summer to Mommy and Me. Then we had lunch with Bill and then they left to go back to MD.

What a great fun trip! Can't wait to see you soon again when we come to Maryland!!!

Summer, 22 months

Mason, 15 months




Hey Summer, how do we get out of here?

Cuddles with Grandma Sue! Thanks for watching them while we got pedicures!

Casino Night!

So sweet! They were holding hands on the way to World of Coke!

Summer loved the Coke Bear!

The Glodek Family

World of Coke fun!

Summer LOVED Coke at the World of Coke. She kept asking for more.

Mason made a new friend at Mommy and Me. He loved Ms. Nancy!

Marching with a flag for Mm day!

Thanks again for coming to visit us Erika, Bill and Mason! See you soon!

Beginning of March '11

I am back! It's been a busy few weeks so I am behind in Summer's blog.

She turned 22 months on March 1st! Can you believe in less then 2 months she will be 2?!? I can't!

Here's some pictures of Summer relaxing, having fun at Mommy and Me and at Gymnastics!

Enjoy!

Tom and I got a Lovesac for the bonus room and we all love it. It's like a big bean bag chair but it has memory foam in it and is SUPER comfy. As you can see Summer is enjoying relaxing on it!

Mommy and Me time!

Here's Summer with her good pal Addison on Miss Jessica's (Addy's Mom) lap.

Ms. Nancy was teaching about the letter L this day!

Ready to go with her backpack!

A special Thank you to my Mom for taking Summer this day and getting these great pictures!

Gymnastics time at Gymnastix!

Warming up!

Today they were downstairs in the big room! Summer got to swing on a rope and let go!

21 Months and Counting-Feb 2011

February 2011

Summer turned 21 months on February 1st. Tom and I were away on our cruise so I took her bunny photos (I do them every 3 months now) when we got back. I was surprised that I was able to get a couple of good ones. The only thing now is after you take Summer's picture she wants to see it right away. :)

Summer's talking has just taken off even more. Her little voice is so sweet! She loves to play in her kitchen, run everywhere, color, and play with her Little People. She is busy busy all the time and makes me smile everyday.

We went on a walk this past weekend and she got tired of riding in her stroller and ended up running/walking a whole mile! She never ceases to amaze me! :) I love my sweet Summer so much!

She loves her bunny!

This was a good one. Too bad the strap was in the way. I had to be quick.

No strap but now we have our sippy cup!

She is growing off the blanket. I used to line her head up right in the center. It's amazing how much Summer has grown and changed!

Valentine's Day at Mommy and Me

Silly dancing time!

It was so windy and Summer kept making silly faces outside.

Loving on her Dada!

One of Summer's Christmas presents from her GA grandparents was on back-order and it just came in. She loves this big comfy chair with her name on it!

She is very proud that is says her name. She can spell most of it herself!

Here's the chair's new home in her book corner.

Summer got a Valentine's package from her Indiana grandparents and this book was in it!

Emmy, the 9 year old I watch a couple times a week, decided to use my camera to get some pictures of Summer. I love her perspective. All the rest of the pictures in this blog Emmy took. This is a small sampling of the 200 she took in this one afternoon.

At the Park!
