Little artist

Today me and Lily tried out her sidewalk chalk for the first time! I was in target the other day, and it was clearnced out for 68 cent! heck yeah! so I got one for her, and one for my nephew, Dylan. ( along with a few other good Clarence finds!) She enjoyed being outside and did ok coloring. She doesn't quite understand that she had to apply a little more pressure for the chalk to really show up, but I know the more we do it, the better she will get. 

Our weekend plans include another trip to Ocean breeze tomorrow, and I think we will try the chalk again too! This time daddy will join in on the fun! I am really trying to do as much stuff with Lily as possible, even if its just having fun playing on the the floor together. She has big changes coming and I hope she adjust alright. I am having tons of contractions ( though, they never get regular) and as of last Thursday I was 2 cm 50 % effaced! hopefully soon!!!

:)

weekend fun!

We had a great weekend. A little bit of cleaning mixed in with lots of playtime. Saturday me and Mike hung around the house most of the day and got some organizing and cleaning done. After dinner we decided to take Lily to a park we had never been to before, called fun forest. It's a little too big for her.. it's perfect for ages 3 and up... but she still had a blast. she loves to be outside and running around. And of course they had her two favorite things. " eings" and " Ides" 

Sunday I worked for a few hours in the morning and then came home and crashed! me and Lily both enjoyed a nice 2 hour nap. And daddy enjoyed some quiet time watching a movie. After that we hung around the house and ran a few errands. We decided around 4 to head to ocean breeze water park for a little while. We went and picked up my niece Madison, who had been with her Nana for the weekend and off we went. The past 2 times we have went, Lily has really opened up. She has been having a BLAST and it's so fun to watch her having such a good time. She did an awesome job on the slides and was non stop giggling the whole time we were there!

I'm sure the poor children thought a whale was flying towards them all day! ha

  Enjoying the slide!

 yayyyy!

 Madison going down the drop slides all by her self.

 relaxing after a fun filled day.

even Mia had fun! she was kicking up a storm.

hope everyone had a great weekend!

A day at the zoo!

Last Friday it was 82 degrees! Me and Mike decided it would be a great day to get out and go to the zoo. We had such a great time. Lily loved it, and it was wonderful to just have a family day, and do something just the three of us. Lily's favorite part is always the petting farm part. She is so amused by the goats and sheep.. well I think it was a sheep, ha ha. It's a lot of fun now because she can get out of her stroller and really explore more.

She wanted those goats to come to the fence so bad. They were smart though, cuddled up under some shade. They certainly weren't coming out into the sun.. even if the cutest little girl was begging them too.

Lily also really enjoys the Elephants and the Giraffe's. We probably stood, watching the elephants for a good twenty minutes.

Having so much fun!

It was a great day with my little one, we are looking forward to more warm days! 

On a different note, Lily had to be seen at the children's Hospital Saturday night. She has suffered form severe and chronic constipation for about 8 months now. She is being further evaluated for something called Hirshsprungs disease. She has another apt. today at 2 so I will update more later, but in the meantime, will you say a little pray for my girl?

Park days and spring cleaning.

We have had some really nice days in Virginia Beach the past few weeks. Most days it's in the high 50's, low to mid 60's but we have a had a few days in the high to mid 70's. HEAVEN. I am a summer girl, so I am welcoming any warm days we get.

We took advantage of the weather by going to the park! Lily loves it now that she is more independent, and My sister and her kids just recently visited, so they were able to enjoy it with us. ( though they live in key west, so they are used to warm weather! ha!)

        Enjoying the sun and the grass.

 

 

 

Even Dylan joined in on the "climbing up the slide party"

 She giggles so much on the swings!

 And on another warm day we found ourselves again, at the park...

 Once again, her favorite part was climbing all over the slides, ha ha So cute!

On another note, Me and Mike have been tackling some serious cleaning. We cleared out Mia's room cleaned all the carpets in the house and are finally tackling some lingering piles of laundry that just never seemed to get done. We picked out Mia's bedding, so once we paint in a few weeks I'll take some pics to update on how her nursery will be coming along! we also went and registered today for her. My baby shower will be in may, so excited!
