5 MONTHS !!

So today June 27, 2012 was another life changing day we as a family experienced together. Today we found out the gender of this BLESSING that we have added to our beautiful family and will soon hold in our arms come November 12, 2012 !

During this Dr. App it brought back SO MANY emotions of when we were in this EXCAT situation with Alexa (Yet again that was a life changing moment we had experienced as a growing family) The second the tech told us what we were having I felt this feeling of a TRUE connection between me and our second bundle of joy. Its truly a feeling that is indescribable, a feeling of ALL the best emotions together.. Like someone had told me I had won the lottery, but BETTER !! Needless to say I gasped, screamed and started bawling my eyes with tears of joy and excitement !

We aren't revealing the gender, until the baby shower ( which is VERY hard ) but we have already come up with a name and we are SO excited to hold this baby and bring it into this world " officially" to meet its sibling :) and to meet us face to face <3


Weight: 164
Total weight gain so far: 14 lbs
Baby's Heartbeat: 166
Month: 5 months and 1 day ( only 4 more to go !! )

Making daddy's Fathers Day gift

 For Fathers day this year Alexa decided to make her daddy a stepping stone, with her hand print and her foot print ! Needless to say we had A LOT of fun during the process of making this stone !!

STEP 1: Picking out the stones to decorate with, which Alexa did a GREAT job doing !!

STEP 2: Making the concrete mixture so we can build the stepping stone !

STEP 3: Putting the mixture into the stencil ! 

STEP 4: Making a handprint into the mixture !

STEP 5: Making a footprint into the mixture !

STEP 6: Decorating our stepping stone with jewels !

( Grandma helped us with that )

STEP 7: The finishing product !

"Alexa- 2012"

Blake Loved our gift to him and we have decided to start a new tradition and do one every year with Alexa's hand and foot print as well as the new baby's !!

Fathers Day 2012

Even though Alexa and I were spending time in Stuart Florida with grandma Joy and Aunty Ana during Fathers day weekend, Blake drove ALL the way from Gainesville, FL ( 4hr drive) To spend it with us :) 

And this is how our day went...

First off daddy & Alexa got to sleep in together :)

Then we went for a walk where Alexa told her daddy, he was #1 <3

Before breakfast picture at Mulligans... YUMMY :)) 

After breakfast we were SO full we had to take a walk, so we walked along the River in down town Stuart, Good idea dad ! <3

Blake: We are SO lucky to have you in our lives as our daddy, We love you more then words can describe !! Thank You for driving ALL the way to see us in Stuart, FL for the weekend and for Fathers Day, it was yet another year of learning from you and laughing with you and can't forget another GREAT  year to celebrate you being our daddy <3 XoXo Alexa & baby #2

Alexa enjoyed the beach MUCH more this time as being she was 6 months old when we last went to her now being 1yr 1/2. She loved playing in the sand, chasing her shadows, making sand castles, running towards the beautiful blue water and taking naps in the summer sun on the beach !

Being able to spend Fathers day with Alexa, our bun in the oven, my mom ( grandma Joy), My sister ( Aunty Ana ) and friends was by far a true blessing !

Lexi & Aunty Ana

Our trip to Florida thus far, has been extremely  fun and so rewarding for Alexa !! By hanging out with  Aunty Ana, she has learned to climb EVERYTHING, say " Please, Sorry, grandma, Ana, out-side, and book" She has also learned some new animal noises and has named her monkey " "Ee Ee" since thats the sound a monkey makes ( l0l) 

Making funny faces on the Mac <3 

Movie time !!
Love how both of the girls are stuffing their face with popcorn ( l0l )

Being typical little girls <3                              Watching Cartoons together :)

but after a few min she dove in and was playing with new friends <3

Playing with Grandma at the baby fountain, that Alexa had found ! 

Now she is transferring water from the BIG fountain...

So after saying " Hi " to everyone the Pilot gave Alexa wings for being a first time flyer ! She thought it was the coolest thing in the world & was so excited to wear them !
