Lily's Christmas!

This year Lily had no problem at all sitting on Santas lap. Which was a good thing because she did it 3 times. I am not saying that she liked Santa, but when he gives out candy if you sit on his lap, who wouldn't sit on his lap. She did enjoy opening presents. It started out with a bunch of Princess stuff and then she expected everything else to be Cinderella.

My little helper!

I was washing dishes the other day and Lily decided that she needed to help. And ever since that day when she hears the sink she comes running. It is really cute that she wants to help. But as you can see from the pictures it is not a dry thing so we have to do it first thing in the morning before she is out of her pajamas or just before bed.

Before



After

IT'S A GIRL!

It's official, Lily is going to have a little sister. After many weeks of looking and her being modest we found out today that it is a girl. I am glad that she uncrossed her legs long enough for us to get a good look. Start praying for Brock now. He is out numbered. He he he!

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun time at the Worthen Halloween party! Lily really enjoyed spending time with her cousins.


I could not get Lily to hold still for a picture of her in her costume. This is as good as I got.


Lily carving pumpkins. Or should I say Brock and I.

Chicago Trip

We really enjoyed our trip to Chicago. We got to see some friends, go to a museuem, do some shopping and Brock got to do something he has always wanted to do in life.


We were able to stay one night at the Hale's house. Thanks for letting us stay with you.


My mom and dad came with us. They really enjoyed the museum.






Lily loved playing at The Idea Factory. She really liked taking the balls and putting them in the tube that sucked them to another part of the factory.


Brock was able to go to a Bears game while he was there. He has been a Bears fan his whole life and I was glad that he finally got to go to a game. Plus this picture is from his seats.

Food Allergies!

I took Lily to the Allergist yesterday. I was debating on doing it because I really thought that she was fine. I am very glad that I took her. She has never had a severe reaction to food, but after eating a few different foods she sometimes breaks out into hives around her mouth. So I thought that maybe she needed to go.

She had to have a skin prick test. Which I was really nervous about because I had no clue how I was going to get her to hold still. She did just fine with the that part it was after when her skin started to react to the different foods. Her back itched so bad. But there was nothing that we could do.

The test showed that she is allergic to Peanuts, Cashews, Pistachios, and Eggs. I thought that she might have a nut allergy. But the Egg allergy was a huge surprise. The doctor decided to check her for eggs because she has eczema, and sure enough that was one of the worst ones.

So now we get to carry an Epipen and check the labels of food. The doctor think that there is a chance that Lily will grow out of the egg allergy and that the peanut allergy may get better. She says that she doesn't think that she will ever have a severe reaction to the food, so the Epipen is just a precaution. Man am I glad that I took her.

Lily is going to be a big sister!

 

For those of you who don't know already, Brock and I are expecting our second child. I am due March 24th. Which will put them just under two years apart. We are very excited. Lily is not sure what is going on, but I think that she will be a good helper when the time comes.

I have tried and tried to see the sex of the baby, but it does not want to cooperate and keeps its legs crossed all of the time. So maybe one day we will know what it is going to be. But for now I am just glad that I finally got an okay picture to post.
