First, our sweet neighbors and friends, Chris and Amy, had baby Kennedy. Ansley is in love with baby Kennedy. We talk about her every.single.day! "What's baby Kennedy doing?" is something I hear a lot! Ansley was thrilled to get to hold sweet Kennedy.
I think Easter was the next big thing to take place. It was rainy and cold the day of the church Easter Egg Hunt, but that didn't stop this little one from having fun. She definitely knew how to hunt eggs this year!
We also had fun dying eggs. Ansley loves doing anything with her daddy!
Look at that perfect golfer's stance! I think she's seen this done a few times in our living room!
We did get a family picture at church, but I'm not really sure where it is right now. :)
We've celebrated a few birthday parties with friends and had fun swimming and playing outside too.
We recently celebrated the 4th of July with our friends and neighbors. A fun time was had by all.
Mitch and I celebrated 6 years of marriage with a little "babymoon" trip to Buckhead too. We ate lots of yummy food and enjoyed relaxing for a change.
Mitch's Aunt Brenda also gave us a really sweet shower. Ansley was invited to this one and had a blast opening Will's gifts.
My sister and brother-in-law also gave us a Diapers and Wipes Party. We decided to include family only and include the guys and children in this party. The food was amazing and we are all stocked up on diapers and wipes now! Sadly, we didn't do a good job of documenting anything from that party. :(
I've also been busy getting the nursery ready. Ansley was born at 33 weeks, and I was NOWHERE near ready on the nursery when she arrived. Although we don't think Will will be coming early, I have been extra careful to get the nursery done early! I think I put most of the finishing touches on this afternoon. I'm sure I'll add a few more details, but it's pretty much ready!
I have a to-do list of things I need to do before he actually arrives, so I would like for him to wait the rest of the 6 weeks until my C-section! We are so blessed with how generous everyone has been, and we can't wait to meet him.
A quick update on Ansley before I end my post tonight. Ansley is 2 1/2 and is so much fun. She's in the 11% for weight and 88% for height! She's definitely built like her daddy, long and lean. She's a typical 2 year old with LOTS of energy! She wakes up ready to go each morning. She started sleeping in a big girl bed in January, and she's finally consistently staying in there. She is very excited about being a big sister to Baby Will. She has a hard time saying her 'w' though, so she tells everyone that his name is Bill. :) It's been funny to watch everyone's reactions to the name Bill. She talks nonstop and is VERY inquisitive. I know her questions are a good thing, but they can be quite exhausting! We are definitely in the "WHY?" stage. She will continue to ask why until she gets an acceptable answer too! :) We are also potty trained which is a huge relief! It was definitely a task, but she's doing wonderful with it! We can't wait to see how she interacts with Will and how great of a big sister she will be. I know there will be some adjustments, but we know she will fall in love with him so quickly! Pray for us as we transition into this next phase pf our life. I promise to try to blog more frequently. :)
