March

Where has the month of March gone? I know it has been a while since an update but the picture below shall explain why.


Yes, my friends there is going to be an addition to the Hamrick household. Looks like the little bambino is coming October 5th. We are excited however this momma has not been feeling well at all and once it passed Ava has decided to quit sleeping at night. I think it is her two year molars and it is whippin' the parents. Any suggestions on how to make this a little easier for all involved would be appreciated.

So, now that the announcement is out here are a few things that are going on. Ava's new favorite accessory - this hat. She now wants to wear it since it is 70-80 degrees outside. She will wear it around the house for hours. She loves to pull it down over her eyes and act as though she can't see and walk around the house and yes, she does run into things and keeps on going.



We had some chocolate doughnuts one morning and as you can tell she likes them.


She went to her first carnival and it was not a success, see how serious she is in the this picture that is how she was throughout the whole three rides she rode. Poor thing was scared to death.


But the carnival ended well with her first taste of cotton candy!!!


With the nice days we have had we have been outside alot. The other day she was playing on her playset in our yard and got tangled on the slide and did a face plant once she was at the bottom. Once I got over to her, this is what I found - beautiful don't you think. To top it off she was chewing the dirt off her lip - good stuff!!!


Well, that is all for the month of March. Hopefully, I will be more on top of blogging in April but can't make any promises. We are quickly approaching the twos in this house and that means testing every boundary of every day so alot of times at night instead of blogging I just sit and stare at the walls and wonder what happened to my little newborn that was a by the book baby. Don't worry I do think she is a by the book kid now but it is the book entitled "Strong Willed Child" it is next on my list to read.

People have asked how we think Ava will be with the new baby - answer I have no expectations. As of right now I will hold one her babies like a baby and she will proceed to take it out of my arms and chunk it across the room. One of my aunt's said you better hope you can find a helmet for this new one because it will need it with the big sister it is going to have!!!

Oh I can totally relate. Abby is testing me all the time. It is exhausting! I too miss my sweet cuddly baby, now I have a menace to society! :)
Anyway, congrats again! Sorry to hear you aren't feeling great, but as you know that will pass - hopefully soon.

Congratulations!!! We are so excited about Hamrick baby number 2!

When I was pregnant with evelyn, I used to pop in a video and doze on the couch while Isaac watched TV. He was younger, so I could block him in. Those sick days of pregnancy are no fun. Hope you feel better soon!

CONGRATULATIONS! Being pregnant with a youngster at home is tough. It kicked my tail. Hang in there, it does get better

Heather said...

Congratulations!! We're SO happy for ya'll!! Are you going to find out what you're having? Amber is also expecting #2...due at the beginning of November!! There are so many people I know pregnant right now....I can't even begin to think about that again. :)

I never experienced "terrible twos" with my crew (not that they didn't push things).... that is what they are supposed to do at that age. It's frustrating at times, but don't let it get to you. They are becoming self aware. Let her make decisions for herself. Ones that don't matter ie. what to wear, does she want cereal or oatmeal.... you know give her some power where it doesn't really matter. Be consistent Mom. It gets easier as she learns your no is no and yes is yes.

Curious if with this pregnancy you are gagging when brushing your teeth. :)

Hang in there. 2nd trimester is approaching.

Congratulations friend! I am really excited for you! Hope you feel better soon...I've got drugs if you get desperate.
P.s. If you have this baby on your due date, then he/she will share a birthday with Miss Madeline Claire Paty. :)

Congratulations Jami! We have some crazy timing...Maddox will have a sibling come October 29th. I guess now we just need Lindsey and Lindsay on board! Ha ha! Well, I hope you are feeling better. I can relate to the nausea coupled with chasing a 2 year old - no fun at all. So excited for you, and Ava is so cute!
