Amelia update! 19 months

taking sips of Dad's iced tea, wielding the giant cup like a pro

oh ya, get that tongue on that nasty looking swing seat. 

this sweet little profile



Amelia at this age is:
very difficult to photograph!
a handful (a euphemism if I ever heard one)
the cutest, funniest little girl ever with her expressive face and personality
working on those language skills! she says probably around 12 ish or 15 words, with more popping out all the time.
 this week her new ones are: AHHHEEECE (ice) BAHHHHHEEEE (bike)
She now sleeps in her little bed, no longer the crib. The bed transition was too easy, she has not gotten out of it and slept through the night every night! (so far)
I love her so!!!
It sure is tough having a toddler and being pregnant, and I daily feel like "wow, I need a break!" but she is such a joy and watching her grow is amazing.

Typical Tuesday

brought my camera along to document an average Tuesday night with the Yarbs these days. It involves: 

A trip to Lowe's for whatever we need for the house on that day, Amelia is pretty used to the red carts and the big blue building by now. 

And then because it's Tuesday we like to take advantage of half off tacos at Rosa's! Delicious and convenient (there is a brand new one right by us, we really lucked out) and Amelia likes the beans, love it.

Earlier in the day Randy and Owen came by for a visit! Our babies are so big now!

the latest

Great news! after 3 months of sitting around and not an offer in sight, we got TWO offers on our condo and are under contract for more than our asking price. Wow, thank you God for the generous answer to THAT prayer. 

Also, Amelia is fighting another virus or something, her fever returned over the weekend and thankfully now it is gone but she has the snots and a cough today. She has been all over the place with symptoms and we are hoping this all passes soon. Of course through all this her k-9 teeth have been working on coming through, I think they are all in sight now so that's good. 

On the pregnancy front: Holy Moly only two months to go!?? And then we get to meet our son! THAT is crazy. And I don't feel quite ready yet. 

things in the home are coming along slowly, no change there.  

and here's some pics from my mom's retirement party a few weeks ago, for your viewing pleasure. Girls were in matching dresses from Soo Soo, so cute!

oops meg's eyes are closed.

the babes are distracted, Amelia with accessories and Adela is prob looking at some food.

House projects

Before                                                                         After

They are slow going folks, and I keep changing my mind about where I want stuff everyday. So I'm sorry I haven't posted before and afters, but it will be a while! In the meantime I have been accomplishing sewing projects and re-dos but we just have a long way to go! I had this funny chair reupholstered, this dining set was left here at the house and I thought the chair shape was kinda cute, so I splurged and got one reupholstered! I really like it, and now I want the whole set of four to be redone and to use them with a new dining table, that we don't have yet. But I thought I'd show you the chair! Do you like the new chair? I have had mixed reviews..

baby boy!

I've got some sweet friends and family who have asked about things we might need for this baby boy on the way. Now that I am about 30 weeks pregnant I would say it's ok to start collecting some of those items! Since it's just a few things I've had my eye on I thought I'd put together this cute little page. 

I found all these things on target.com, except for the Boden onesies and baby gap things.

She's better today

We made it through, no fever and a much better attitude today. Thank goodness!

Family photos, I been takin 'em.

more cuties! on the photo blog

Tough day

My girl has been running a fever the past few days and woke up today with a really high one. We had her 18 month check up anyway today so we spent a long, tough morning at the doctor doing some tests. She hasn't had any other symptoms besides her fever and we ruled out some things this morning so it is a probably a virus working its way through. This is Amelia's first time to really be sick and I am not handling it very well! Poor sweetie, really hope today was the worst of it.

A family photo shoot

I got to be  professional photographer this weekend! I took some family pictures for some sweet folks, the family included this little cutie, Leia. See a few more photos here.

Last weekend in the Austin area

We attended the sweetest wedding for David and Elissa in Dubina Texas. We got to see Katie and Paul and Everett too!!

E: Let me show you how to throw a rock high up in the air!
A: Oh, I think I'll just hold mine.

Next up! Austin Area this weekend for a wedding

in the meantime here's a lot of pics from my phone

Baby shower and Mother's Day

This past weekend we enjoyed a baby shower for Will and Amanda! So good to see our friends in from California. 

pregnant friends! always fun...

(our babies are due just 10 days apart from each other!)

good morning!

And then we had Mother's Day!

 fun with Grandmas!

 

Paul's Grandma with her babies

NYC

in a moment of clarity I remembered where my camera cord was!

Eataly pizza is must

the lemon ricotta pancakes...so good!

this kept not working

my ball of baby

shake shack= yummies

"  are you done taking pictures yet??"

too cute

The camera cord might not surface for a while, bummer. Check out this too cute dress from J. crew for little girls. Love it! but ya know it cost $124. Which is totally reasonable for a dress a little girl will wear NO MORE than 4 times I'm sure. It makes me want to sew something similar! I'm a ways off from doing sewing projects just for fun though, that guest room (sewing room) looks a MESS right now.

and as soon as i find my camera cord ill post a few NY pics

Whirlwind trip!

Up in New York City for a couple days, Paul has a work conference until Wednesday. I'll be back Tuesday and until then ill be taking advantage of this swanky bathroom, sleeping, eating yummy foods, and shopping at favorite stores ( mood!!). I miss my baby girl! She is with her Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie and cousin, but I'm glad I have the other baby in my belly along. :)
