It's a Girl!

We are over the moon excited about giving Hailey a little sister this summer!  That's right!  We're having another girl!!  Bug loves to pat my tummy and say "baby" and then she'll lift up my shirt and kiss my belly!  It's very cute, except for when she tries to do it in the middle of the super market, or in music class...

Buggy can't wait to have a permanent playmate, a fellow fashionista and someone to get into lots of trouble with!  I can't lie.  I really wanted to have another girl!  Every time Buggy grew out of a smocked bishop or bubble, I would pray that I'd get to put it on another sweet baby girl sometime soon!  I didn't sleep a wink last night just daydreaming of what she's going to be like and how much fun her and Hailey are going to be together. 

Not only did we learn the gender of our new little nugget of love, but we also made a decision on preschools for Buggy.  She's going to be going to St. Stephen's Episcopal church.  I am in love with that preschool!!  It's also the same church were we go to music class, which means Buggy already lights up when we enter the parking lot, or even drive by! 

We brought our celebration over to Gigi and Babu's house today to so Daddy could do our taxes and Mommy could put her swollen feet up while the Grandparent's chased around the "spirited one".

You can imagine how thrilling it was for little Bug to be able to get up close and personal to a big truck today!  (Why it was parked in my parents neighborhood is beyond me, but it was quite exciting!)

Of course a trip to Babu's house involves a yummy chocolate treat.  Today's feature candy was a handful of M&M's.  Bug was feeling generous and decided to share with Peaches.  I guess she didnt' get the memo that chocolate can kill dogs!

Handsome Daddy working hard on our taxes!

It may look like she's getting attacked, but she loves wrestling with the puppies!  She'll provoke them and get them to chase her all over the house, screaming and laughing at the top of her lungs,  and then she'll fall down so they'll lick her!

Someone wasn't happy that she had to wait on her chicken and fries today for lunch!

But Babu sure knows how to cheer her up!

Her new favorite "food group" is ketchup.  I'm considering putting it on vegetables tomorrow to see if she might actually consume one!

We got Bug a new step stool so she can look out the window at the school children and wait for Daddy to come home from work.  She will stand there all day if I'd let her!  Who could blame her!  The weather has been in the mid 70's and gorgeous!  It's been a little slice of heaven outside and we've been taking full advantage of it!

I'm not a big fan of the fact that Hailey has learned how to "hide" now!  She's enough of a handful already.  But now she'll run off and hide in a closet or behind furniture, which tends to give me a mini heart attack at times!  Here she is hiding behind the bed.

And "hiding" in her basket of stuffed animals.

Apparently, it's not as easy to get out of the basket, as it is to get in!

Worn out from all her "spirited" adventures and dreaming of her baby sister...
