Oakley is going to be a big sister!

Yep its true! Our little boy is due on December 24th 2010!! It is still unreal to me... I have had two ultra sounds, I have heard the heart beat, I feel little kicks and punches once in a while and I still step on the scale and look at my belly and wonder why am I gaining weight? Why is my belly looking so fat all the sudden?? and I get a little frustrated with my self and then remember ohhh yeah! That is what is supposed to happen... I'm pregnant!

It is getting more exciting and realistic every day! It just took me a little while to get to this point! Which really surprises me because of how I am when it comes to babies and a big family... but this pregnancy was such a shock and we found out at while our family was going through some traumatic times so it made it that more emotional and scary for me.

I was happy all along to have another baby and I will always be happy to find out that we get to have another baby, it was just that at first the timing felt all wrong and it was sooner than we had planned and I was worried how everyone would take it and what they would think of us and I really was not ready to face any of that. Soooo We waited till I was about five months along (16-17 weeks) to announce it!
I have gotten a lot of "you are crazy" remarks and other things like that but I know that it really will be ok! Oakley loves babies, she is such a sweet heart and I know she will love being a big sister! I expect it to be hard at first and I expect her to be a little bit jealous at first but I am going to do my best to make sure she still knows that she is my baby and I love her more and more every day! I know we will have some crazy moments but I know that it will all work out and we will only love our lives even more!
Eric is so excited! I love to see him like this! He has dreamed about a son for as long as I have dreamed about being a Mommy and now he is getting one! He is so excited for his boy to grow up and take care of his little girl! Eric is such an amazing Daddy! He loves his princess so much and is very protective over her! I can't wait to see him with his son!
I LOVE MY FAMILY!

Aunt Diane is amazing! She is always so sweet and willing to take Oakley's pictures!
She did such a great job once again! We are in love with how they turned out!

Best year of my life!

Oakley is eleven months old! Her birthday is on the 30th of this month... I really can not believe how fast the time has gone. She has been the biggest blessing in my life and I can't immagine life with out her. She is walking! she started to walk at ten months old and is getting more brave and better at it everyday! Oakley is saying little words like... Mom! Daddy! Whoa! NO NO NO! Whats Dat?!?! HI! She blows kisses, waves bye bye, puckers up and gives kisses, claps and says "yay", dances, jumps on the couch, loves to climb up the stairs, repeats words and sounds we say to her, and makes us fall in love with her more and more everyday!


She is still a little thing! She is almost a year old and still fits in SOME 3-6 month clothing but is now slowly getting into 9 month clothes. At her doctor appointment she was in the 5th percentile in weight and the 1st percentile in height! Such a sweet little thing she is but she is definately bright! Developmentaly she is above and beyond her age! She picks up something new everyday and surprises us with her silly new tricks all the time.

Her new thing is gymnastics! She seriously puts her head on the ground and her butt in the air and rocks back and fourth like she is trying to do a summer salt! She also break dances! She twirls all around on her hands bum and feet, and it seriously looks like she is break dancing! I don't know where she got this talent from but it is the funniest cutest thing! She also will be on her bum grabs her toes with one hand streightens her leg and puts it straight up in the air like a cheer leader... she has many more cool gymnist tricks but I really don't know how to explain them haha
