Andie 2 Years 5 Months

My Andie girl is growing all to fast but watching her grow into the beautiful young women that she is brings me so much joy. Andie is my princess and I don't know how life would be complete without her. Andie at 2 years 5 months...

1. Andie has discovered YouTube! I am amazed at how well she can control through it and find all sorts of Disney princess videos. Andie has discovered magiclip dolls, hello Christmas presents!


2. Andie went to the Library and a Pet store for the first time. Yes my daughter is two and hasn't been to these places, yet she has been to Disneyland twice. We have priorities okay :) Andie loved watching the dogs at the pet store and picking out princess books at the Library!


3. Andie loves Cinderella 3 this month. I love how each month is a different princess movie. Andie gets so excited spotting all the princesses wherever we go, AND she really can ALWAYS find princesses WHEREVER we go, it's AMAZING!


4. Andie loves the colour pink! If given a choice on what shirt to wear, straw to use, plate to use or marshmallow to eat; it's always pink! Girl after my own heart :)


5. Andie loves washing her hands. Andie will push her potty up to the sink, stand on it and start scrubbing her hands over and over again. I swear if I didn't keep putting lotion on after she would have the driest hands in the world. Andie looks so cute washing her hands though, silly girl!


6. Andie celebrated another Halloween. This year she was the cutest little cheerleader. I love how excited she gets to dress up and get to wear her costume outside the home. Andie loved pointing out all of the princesses she saw will trick or treating, she was in heaven watching all the Elsa's go by.


7. Andie went to Idaho and met her newest cousin Bentley. Andie did well on the long road trip playing with her Barbie princess dolls, eating snacks and playing games on her iPad. We got a little preview of what it will be like when we go to Disneyland in a few months.


8. Andie is growing so fast. She is 26 pounds and 35 inches tall. She sleeps through the night from 10pm (sometimes sooner) to whenever we wake her, usually by 7am. Sometimes she gets to sleep in and will be knocked out for 12 or more hours. Andie is in size 2T-3T clothes and size 4 diapers. Her shoe size is 6 (a little big on her) and Andie loves layers like her Mom, bring out the sweaters.


I love my little girl and all the happiness she brings me on a daily basis. Watching Andie discover the world around her is so spectacular. I love my Andie Noelle, always and forever!

Baptism & Baby Blessing

November 1st was a crazy busy day leading up to the crazy busy month. We started by waking up early, but not to early since I slept through my alarms. We rushed to shower and get ready, pack for our trip to Idaho and running out the door to make it to a baptism somewhat on time.





The baptism was so special and made me excited to watch my own kids make this special choice once they are eight. Spending time with Zach's side of the family was so much fun.






















We then got in the car and made our way to Idaho to see my brother and his family for Bentley's special day. We made a pit stop on the way and eat dinner with Zachary's grandparents. We have only seen his grandparents twice since we got married so it was a fun time with them.















 




After dinner we made our way to my brothers house. We got the grand tour, since we have never seen his place before. He has such a cute home and a fantastic wife and kids. It was fun to be able to spend sometime at his home.





The next day we had a war for the shower or more the hot water. It was Bentley's blessing day. He was so cute in his little white suit and his big sister was so proud. It was fun to talk with my family and get to know Sarah's family a little bit more.
























It was such a fun weekend filled with special events and family time plus lots of driving in the car.
