I just love this girl

and this is why we are always laughing....

LA's new dance moves...

This little girl loves to dance!! She dances all day long.. (maybe she will follow in her Mommy's shoe and become a Dixie Belle one day!! :) )We had just got through eating dinner and were headed to the bath when she stopped in front of the TV to checkout the new Alvin and the Chipmunks that she got for Easter!! She loves this movie and you will see why.... I seriously have to control myself from squeezing this girl to hard..LOL!! I can't get enough of her!!

Temper Tantrum Thursdays...

So my family has been asking me to post more videos of LA.. Well you see the reason why there haven't been too many videos is because this is how they would all turn out...


I'm lucky that this is about as bad as they get now.. She's still teaching herself the right way to throw fits..She ends up giving up about 2 minutes into it because she doesn't get a reaction from her Daddy or me..LOL!!

Flashback to last year...

Look at this sweet happy little girl!!

Now look at this sweet little big girl!!

LA wasn't too sure about this Easter Bunny and I can't blame her.. He was scary looking!! But of course she was happy once we gave him high fives!! My baby girl is growing up!! BTW you really can't see but her toe nails are pink and let me tell you she is sooo proud of those pink little piggy's!!

We would like you to meet...

Cash William Bouxsein

That's right!! It's a BOY!!
Here's his sweet little foot!!

And look at that sweet little hand!!

We could not be any happier!! Jacob and I have been trying to figure out a boys name for the past few weeks. We were settled on a girls name but we were butting heads with a boy name. Friday night on our way home from dinner I was going through one of my baby name books spitting names out that I liked and was getting denied left and right. I came across Cash and I said it to Jacob as a joke to see what he would say and as soon as it came out of my mouth I just knew that this was his name. Jacob looked at me and almost laughed then he said it and said "I could see our son with that name!" and that was it!! I had no idea that I would actually fall in love with this name but I have and now I can't wait to meet this sweet little boy!!

We have a lot to get done before Cash makes his big debut.. Everything that was Lily Ann's was all pink. The swing, boppy seat, play mats, clothes, everything is pink..LOL!! So we are having to buy all new stuff. I'm soo glad that I have found a Once Upon A Child(An hour away without traffic!!, gotta love California traffic!). We will be purchasing most of these things from there.. We have decided no to try and move into a bigger house before he gets here because he will be sleeping in our room for the first couple of months or until he starts sleeping through the night then we will move him into LA's room..We will be moving again as late as 2012 or even earlier if Jacob advances before then so that's why we have decided to stay where we are for now! Plus my Dr. is already worried about my blood pressure. I had high blood pressure with LA and ended up being induced 2 weeks early with her because it was so high and I had a lot of protein in my urine which is bad.. Please say a quick prayer that my BP stays down because with LA I can not afford to be on bed rest which is where I would go if we can't get in under control.. I go back to the Dr. on Friday for another check and we will go from there. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be down!!

This girl loves.....

WATERMELON!!

She eats soooo much

it makes her sooo happy!!

Here's a video that I took when I first gave her some today!! It was really cold so that's why she made these faces!!

She can't be...

18 months already!!(Well as of 10 days ago!)I sit here,as LA is taking her nap, with tears in my eyes wondering where all this time has gone. Where is that baby girl who could that would look up at you with those big blue eyes and squeal at the top of her lungs? In exchange for this sweet little baby girl we now have a very loving, funny, talking NON-STOP, keeping us on our toes, sweet little girl!! Everyday is a new day and every day we learn something new! Two weeks ago I was sitting on the couch watching her play and out of now where I see her in her play area playing with letters and then all of a sudden say "fibe, sick, seben, eight, nine, teeeeen YEAH". What where did this come from and where were 1234!?!..HAHAHA!! Lily Ann words can not explain how grateful we are to be your parents and how you make us strive to be better parents everyday. We love you more than words can explain and are so proud of you! Here are some things that you are doing now at 18 months:

*You are still a great sleeper.. You will sleep from 7-8:30 and you take 2 2-hour naps a day.
*You are still a very good eater except for now you are not a fan of veggies! You shudder every time we give you some!
*You are such a sweet girl. You have such very good manners. You say "Pease" "Tank two" and today you said "You wecome"! You also make it a point to say "Bye" to everyone you see!! LOL!!
*You talk! I mean you literally talk from the time you wake up til you go to bed! Sometimes you even wake up in the middle of the night talking!! You have about 20-30 words that you use on a daily basis and you still talk in your own language.
*You love love love the Wiggles.. You actually woke up in the middle of the night and said "Wadda wadda wadda Wiggles!" Ithink that's all you dream about!! LOL!!
*You love to count. We count EVERYTHING!!And you now can count from 1-10 all by yourself (Except Mommy and Daddy have to help you out with 4!)
*You also love books.. We read books all day long and usually the same one over and over and over again.. We read Good Night Moon at least 10 times a day and all of your animal books..You love animals and can tell us what they are!(Cow, pig, Tat(Cat), puppy, duck(Although sometimes is comes out with a f instead of a d)We ask you what they all say and you will say "Quack Quack" for the duck but everything else says "ROAAAARRRRR!!" HAHAHA!!
*You love to sneak up on Daddy and scare him.. (Your not a very good sneaker because you laugh all the way to him!)

We love you so much and know that you are going to be an amazing loving big sister!
