Baby B: 18 months

Our sweet girl is 18 months (actually almost 20 months at this point). I've become so slow at blogging with such a busy toddler on my hands. We are always busy playing, running errands, and enjoying one another's company. She is truly my sidekick and mini me and I wouldn't have it any other way.



Here is a recap of our sweet girl over the past 3 months:

  • Vacationed to Newport Beach, CA with my family
  • Grandma and Grandpa Power and Aunt Samantha. That was a blast having them here in Texas with us. 
  • Had her first easter egg hunt! She loves collecting necklaces a lot more than eggs. 
  • Cheered her mom on at all her volleyball games. 
  • All about shoes. I just wish I owned fancier shows her her to try on. Guess I'll need to get her some dress up ones in the near future. Can't believe she is already starting to love that stage. She is growing too fast.
  • Entered Nursery at church and you aren't really sure how you feel about it
  • Talking a ton! Seriously, I swear she learns a new word every day. I am so impressed with how large her vocabulary is but also her pronunciation of words. She speaks so clearly that I am not the only one who can understand her. Love that.
  • Love holding on to my finger while we walk. She holds on so tight and I know she completely loves and trusts me. 
  • Scream for excitement every time we go somewhere exciting. She just loves life.
  • Stickers are her favorite. It's been so fun to watch her be so excited about our coloring/sticker time. 
  • Always on the go. She is such an explorer. Constantly climbing up and over things and crawling under things. This got her in to some trouble at the Beach house. She broke her leg. More on that later.
  • She is really in to taking care of her bunny and baby. She will be the best big sister some day. She has such a sweet personality. 
  • Loves water! She has become so brave. We bought a season pass to the local water park and spent many mornings and afternoons there. Texas is so hot! At first she was a little timid but now you can't keep her out of it. She is always trying to walk to deep and jump of the sides. She loves being thrown up in the air back and forth between myself and Derek. She even loves to go down the kid slides by herself. It has been so fun to watch her transform.
I could go on for a while. This little girl has stolen my heart and this has been such a fun summer. I love getting to spend every day with her and so much enjoy watching her grow. Here are some pictures over the past three months and it's amazing to me to see how much she grows and develops every month.

She is so cute in pigtails!

So she thinks my underwear are scarves so she pulls them from my drawer and piles them on. She is so fashionable.

Big News!

So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5 ...

Owen at 6 months

  This is my little Owen and he is the most handsome little boy ever. He brings so much joy to our lives. He is an excellent napper, happy 98% of the time, and a great little brother. He laughs at every thing Brooklyn does and is so patient as she pulls and pokes him while they try and play. Here is a glimpse of Owen James at 6 months old: He sits up and loves to play with anything put in front of him He drools like nothing I've ever seen before Can roll from front to back and back to front but mostly rolls from back to tummy Loves tummy time Is obsessed with Brooklyn and Peek a boo Isn't the best night time sleeper but he is getting better every day. He gave me 6 hrs last night...to bad it was from 6 pm to 12 am instead of 12 am to 6 am. Once he's in a deep sleep he does great but just has a hard time getting to sleep at first Smiles at everyone so he can show off his dimples Blabs mama everyday all day but I don't think he has connected it yet...

We live in a small two bedroom apartment and there isn't much room to decorate. This morning I was watching the video Wise Men Still Seek Him   and felt inspired to create a printable for my home. It's a good reminder to not only seek Him this time of year but thr...
