We're pregnant! Baby #2 coming in March 2010!

Yes, we are pregnant again and expecting our second little addition to our family in March 2010. I am in my 15th week of pregnancy already if you can believe it (wow, time flies) and everything is going very smoothly. I'm getting a bit more energy in the second trimester and we're getting really excited in a few weeks to find out if it's a boy or girl. Ella is doing great. She is walking everywhere and just has such an amazing smile it makes us so happy. She loves to be chased around the couch and just giggles whenever we catch her. She got to spend time with Nonni this week going to the Folsom Zoo and having lunch with the ladies. She just transitioned to the toddler room at day care where they do arts and crafts, sing songs, and play outside which she loves. Here are some photos of her in her birthday hat from Great Aunt Sarah (hand made) and eating watermelon at our annual neighborhood labor day BBQ. We'll keep you posted on the happenings but that is the latest exciting news in the growing Anderson clan!

Happy Birthday Ella!

Well, our baby is officially one years old tomorrow. I can't believe it. We just got back from a great family vacation at Stinson Beach, California where we rented a cute little yellow beach house with a beautiful garden and relaxed as a family of three for a week. We kicked the week off with a family get together with the folks from the Bay Area for Ella's first birthday. Here is a picture of the beautiful tu-tu that Aunt Chandry bought her to put in her first dress up box. So cute! It was so great to celebrate with close friends and family and kick off the week with a little party. The rest of the week was about naps, beach time, cooking good food, and just relaxing. We had a great time! Ella is walking all over the place now. She is drinking from sippy cups, eating all real food, and pretty much taking one nap a day most of the time. She is very happy and has the best laugh you've ever heard. It's got some gutts to it which I love so I try to replicate it often. She loves for us to chase her around the couch or play hide and seek. She started really liking climbing all over the couch and hanging out in man made forts that Daddy puts together. We're so proud of being her parents and feel blessed every day to have her in our lives.
