Snow Day + what else has been happening around here lately...

So yesterday we woke up to a nice little surprise...SNOW! I'm not that big on snow, especially when I have to get out in it, but luckily it was my day off, and Campbell and I needed to enjoy the snow. You see, at Christmas, when we got all that snow, both she and I were sick. Not a little sick, but pretty bad; me more than her. We just couldn't take advantage of it then, but we decided to yesterday. This was her first experience in the snow, besides looking out the window at it, and she loved it! Of course, she mostly wanted to eat it...but we enjoyed those sweet moments together and I brought my camera! She had to bring along her shopping cart, not really sure why, but why not?! Enjoy these pics!

Other things happening, well, yes I missed having a 20 month post for my girl! In 4 short months she will turn 2 and in 5 1/2 short months she will become a big sister! We are so excited :) Campbell Grace is quite the talker. She is also quite the toddler. Doing your normal, defiance, about to turn 2 things. She tests my patience daily and sees what she can get away with. I'm learning everyday how to parent. Most days are full of joy and laughter and a little frustration. I hear this is totally normal and may only get worse before it gets better.

All she wants to do is watch Mickey Mouse and Cinderella (mic nouse, and lella). She could sit for hours in a trance and watch them. Some days that can be helpful, but most it can be hard, because when I want her to play with her toys or color with me, she begs for TV. We are working on it.

Campbell is constantly pointing and naming all sorts of things. Her vocabulary has just taken off. It's fun to hear that sweet little voice everyday.

She has recently moved up to 2T clothing for the most part. She still wears 24 month and some 18-24 month, but she is so tall that 2T fits really well. Size 4 diapers still.

She's such a joy and blessing to us! We're half way to 21 months now :)

On another note, I'm feeling so much better this month and this baby is moving ALL AROUND! This is the best thing about pregnancy, hands down. We are 17 weeks this week, and in 3 short weeks we get to see him or her! Praying that this baby is healthy and growing right on track! So thankful for this sweet life!

Hope you all have a blessed week :)

finally....

If you've seen my facebook or instagram then you already know...or if you are a close friend or family, but we are so excited to announce we are expecting baby #2!  We are finally home from our crazy 2 week whirlwind and I finally have my laptop with me. It had these sweet pics of my girl in her BIG SISTER tshirt! This summer is definitely gonna be a memorable one!

Merry Christmas a little early...

My family would love to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We will be in and out over the next 2 weeks! I'm so excited to have all this time off to spend with family. I don't plan on writing another post until after the holidays, but you might get lucky....oh who am I kidding? I haven't posted consistently in forever...well, there are many reasons for that...not all great excuses but some are totally worth it!

Today, Campbell and I sat in the chair almost all day with snotty noses, coughing, and just overall feeling crummy. I've had this since Monday...so I'm hoping to catch a break and have it be gone by Christmas! Crossing my fingers. My to do list is crazy and not getting done with feeling so bad, but we will figure something out. For those of you who didn't get one, or aren't on our address list, here is a virtual copy of our Christmas card! We have so much to be thankful for this year. We are beyond blessed!

Currently...

Time: 9:38

Location: Sitting in the recliner, gasping on how long it's been since I last blogged...sorry

Eating: Just had a coke float, one of my weaknesses

Watching: The Voice, love the talent on this show.

Listening: Any Christmas music I can listen to during the daytime

Loving: Having my Christmas tree up, the personalized stockings up, and our outside lights on every night ;) 

Enjoying: Sleeping....haha, I haven't been feeling well lately and sleep is a great thing!

Needing: To make and order Christmas cards...I'm so behind...

Wanting: It to get cooler before Christmas... I love warm weather as much as anyone but its hard to get in the holiday spirit when it's too warm to even dress cute and wear scarves and boots.

Thinking: I've got so much Christmas shopping left to do, oh me, glad I've got some more time...

Wondering: What this next year is gonna hold...it's the last year in my 20's, and even though I feel like I'm dreading it (turning 30), I'm also ready to embrace it. It's gonna be great! 

This is a short list, the past month I've had a lot going on, yet, I haven't been able to do much. Hopefully more on this later in the month! Thanks to my few loyal readers who still check in on me! I hope to get better... :)

Enjoy a few funny pics. My girl is quite the character!

A Year and a Half

Well, today we have been blessed with our precious girl for a whole year and a half. It is crazy to think we have spent 18 wonderful months with her! She is just the best thing that's happened to Jacob and me....

She got a great report at Dr. G's office today...besides also having a cold...yuck. She was happy and did great with her fingerstick for her hemoglobin! No shots...triple YAY!

Campbell weighs 24lbs 15oz (78%) and is 33.3 inches tall (89%)

She is so much fun these days...well, when was she not? This is definitely a fun time with our girl learning and exploring and talking so much.

Cami still loves to read books and sing songs. She dances to music. She climbs on EVERYTHING. She loves peek a boo and hide and go seek. She LOVES her daddy so much. I get so much joy out of watching the two of them together! She still loves to go night night. She likes to say so many things...especially mommy, daddy, Duke, puppy, hot dog, night night, bubbles, ball, water, bow, shoes, mo (for milk? not sure why) Nini, Papa, Grammy (sounds like Mammy), Grandpa (sounds like Papaw), Mo & Poppy (her greats :)), teetee, and poopoo, haha...and she tries to mimick so much that we say as well. She can sign: more, please(peeeease), and thank you! My girl loves the outdoors. I hate to see what it's going to be like when it's winter...she wants to be outside all the time. She loves her wagon rides. Milk is her favorite drink. Can't pin down her favorite food. It changes so much, and she doesn't have the biggest appetite. She thinks she needs a sucker all the time...and always wants candy...dang Halloween.  She likes to sit with me when I put on my makeup and play with my brushes and things...such a girly girl! She is getting her 2nd bottom and top molars on the left side of her mouth. She wears 18-24 month clothes and size 4 diapers. She is a size 6.5-7 shoe! She is weaning to one nap a day, and I may be a little sad about that...but it's inevitable.

I could go on and on. I love this girl so much! Thanks for making me a mommy!

Thanks to Aunt Casey for these sweet pics :)
