My Little Fashion Co-ordinator!

So my daughter has a thing with clothes. Most of you know that she went through a phase of not wearing anything but her diaper. Well since she has been potty trained she now goes through her dressing looking for anything she can wear! Her personal favs are her princess dresses! Luckly she hasn't asked to wear them to church... yet! Today I decided to take some pictures of her in all her wonderful outfits. Just so you know this was just some of the many that she wore.

When she came out in her swimming suit she asked to go swimming... the best I could do was fill the tub and let her swim at home. There is never a dull moment at my house with her around, especially because I never know what she is going come out of her room in. Some days she has a very unique style ( lots of layering!) I love her to death though.

A New Family Picture!

Just so you all know I do realize how awful my family picture is on here right now! I'm really hoping to get a better one up after Tobins blessing. We are blessing him Feb 22. Maybe by then there will be less bags under are eyes.

Its been hard I'm not going to lie, trying to adjust to a new baby. Tobin loves to savor his food. It takes him almost 1hr to eat in the middle of the night, and then he likes to poop sometime in the middle of that! So then I change him again and sure enough he is wide a wake again. So then we go back to eating again. At least when Travis is on nights I can lay in bed and watch TV. Honestly though there is really nothing on a 3am except for well... Treehouse! and advertisements. I thought maybe if I watched the P90X ad for while it would motivate me to exercise... actually at that time of night it just makes me way more tired!! Ok I'm done with the baby complains!! I do love having Tobin. He is a little cutie pie and is really a good baby. Its gonna be weird giving kid a hair cut before there 2years old! I'll have to put up a more recent picture of him to show you all how much his hair has grown in the last few weeks.

Emma is doing good. She is a little sweety and loves to help me out. She goes and gets everything for me. She has been potty training and is doing really good with the pee thing... the poop thing is another story. Why are kids afraid to poop in the toilet? If anyone has any insight on why that is or knows a secret to get them to go in it I would really love to hear it. Emma is really into dressing up in her princess dresses and loves make up. We have a friend that works down at walmart and she gave Emma christmas present with barbie chap stick in it. You know that kind of chap stick that is really pink and DOES show up when you put it on. I'll post a picture... I'm sure you will know what i'm talking about! Anyways she is adjusting good to being a big sister and as of now doesn't want to share her room with Tobin. I don't think she is going to have a choice soon! I'll let you know how that adventure goes.

Tobin Philip Anderson

Well it has been quite sometime now that I have actually updated my blog... so today is the day!! Thanks to Mindy my blog has a new look, who knew it was so easy!

We had a new little one join our family on Dec 19, 2008. This came as a little bit of a surprise as my originial due date was January 13, 2009. I had gone into the hospital a few weeks before he was born because of contractions. I found out then that my blood pressure was pretty high and they wanted to watch that closely. Well after a week and a half it was still high and getting worse. I had toximia. I was told that they were going to enduce me Dec 23. Nice date I know... could they get it anymore close to Christmas! I was begging them to induce me even just a day earlier so that I could be home for Christmas. Well Dec 18 my last blood test came back not good so... we were off to the hospital to be enduced and I had him at 10:26 am on the 19th of Dec. Tobin Philip Anderson was born 3 1/2 weeks early and weighed 8lb 6oz. I know my little preemie that they weren't expecting to be even 7lbs. I shocked the nurses and especially the doctor. He is a pretty good baby he just needs to decide the night time is the time to sleep!

Emma thinks he's ok now... it took a few weeks to convince her! She is now the first one to him when he starts to cry or needs something. She is a great big sister! We are all doing good and are healthy and tired!!! We love are new little man.

Emma's First Hair Cut

I know I have been really slow at updating this blog but we have been gone on holidays and have been trying to get organized ever since. I do know what my baby is but I won't be posting that until next week some time to feel free to give me your guesses!!

So the other day I was cutting Travis's hair and decided that it was time for Emma to finally get hers cut too. Actually it worked out good. She watched Travis get his cut then she got right up on the chair and was ready for her turn. She sat really good through the whole thing too. It seem way shorter to me now even though I only took off about an inch. I really didn't know what was doing either. Kids are so brave... at least they don't really care what it looks like when your done!! I was fun though. Emma also went through a lot of firsts this last week. She moved to her big girls bed and also had to give up the soother. I think the bed wasn't really hard part for her it was the loss of the sucky!! I actually cut the top off which works really good! She won't suck on it at all. She keeps telling me that her "sucky is broken , it has an owy" She is getting so big now and is really excited about the new baby coming. She puts her head on my tummy and talks to it all the time. I'll try and get some vacation pictures up soon. I do actually have most of them on facebook. You can check them out there.

Pool Party!!

We had are first annual pool party the other day. We actually thought the pool was bigger than it really was. It really looked bigger on the box! Sharisse brought her boys and we all had some fun in the sun. The girls suntanned for about 20 seconds with me. Just long enough to take a picture. We finished it off with lots of popsicles. It was a great afternoon minus the tar sand beetles that sound like helicopers when they fly around... i'll have to get a good picture of one of them so everyone who hasn't seen one will know what i'm talking about!! There really gross. And yes I do realize how white I am... there is a reason that i'm trying to get some color. If that is possible!

Baby News!!

So I thought I would post the news that we have a baby on the way!!! I'm due January 13th 2009. We are really excited and hope everything works out great. I have been feeling a little bit more sick with this one than with any of my other pregnancies. Mostly at night though so thankfully I can sleep it off during the night. Emma knows where the baby is but thinks if she lifts up my shirt she'll find it. I'm about 7 weeks along now. I'll post picture soon of a belly shot. Not that there is lots to see yet but its fun anyways.

Emma's 2nd Birthday!

I can't believe how fast the time goes by. It feels like she just had her first birthday. We had lots of fun celebrating Emma's second birthday. Her cousin came to enjoy the cake with her.

Emma is starting to talk lots more now. She still has somethings that she says in her own little language, but we starting to figure out more of what she is saying which is making her life and our life easier. She is growing up so fast and is getting bigger everyday. Emma loves to play at the park and go for walks. She is a happy kid and we love her tonnes!
