6 Months!

It is hard to believe that I am already 6 months pregnant! Time is just flying by! I had my appointment today and everything is going well. My blood pressure is fine and I have gained a total of 7 lbs. The baby's heart rate is at 155 so that is great. Here is the latest picture of me and my growing belly.


Not the best pictures in the world but whatever.

Gender

For all of you who voted boy......you were WRONG! We are having another sweet little girl. We are excited and a little surprised, Todd thought we were for sure having a boy so he was really surprised. I thought it would be cool to have a boy but at the same time I thought if we had another girl Elena could have someone to play with and enjoy the same girly things. The ultrasound was really cool and I could actually tell what I was looking at. She let us see her little face and it was just awesome! She is healthy and everything looks perfect!

Our Baby Girl is 2!

I cannot believe that Elena is already 2! She is still my baby though! Elena is a cute, loving little girl who loves to play and can make a toy out of anything. She finds the most random things to play with and I find it so funny. I guess she has a good imagination! She talks quite a bit and she understands both English and Spanish which I think is great. Todd would like to learn Spanish as well and I keep telling him to just follow what she learns. :)

Elena knows all her letters she can read a letter (as long as it is a capital one) and tell you what it is. Sometimes she will say the sound it makes instead saying what the letter is but that is ok, she has been doing that for a few months now. I need to post a video of her reading letters so that everyone can see for themselves. Elena is very smart!

She loves to give hugs and kisses (mostly to me)! She loves to look out the window when it is snowing and she loves looking at the moon at night. Any time we go out in the evening she always looks for the moon and when she see it she points to it and says "luna!" She loves to sing the "Twinkle Little Star" melody and sometimes she will sing it and put names in it. She will throw in mama and another time Papi or sometimes one of the other kid's names. It is so cute!

There is so much to say about her that I could go on for days! Here are some picture of her over the last year.

Super Bowl XLIII

I actually watched the super bowl this year and it has been about 4 years since I've watched a football game. Todd isn't a big fan. I'm not the biggest fan either but I really like watching it. This year I decided to watch when I found out the Steelers were going to be playing, I thought I would cheer them on for Jon.

It was an exciting game! I had a lot of fun watching and cheering. Elena and I went over to my parent's house to watch it while Todd was off taking the girls and bringing Christopher back. My sister was going for the Cardinals so it made it more fun! My mom was kind of just watching and my dad was bored out of his mind (he doesn't watch sports). He would sometimes change the channel during commercial breaks so we kept bugging him to change it back like every second.

Elena would get startled with our screaming and shouting because she just isn't used to that stuff....but at least she didn't cry, she just realized that we were excited and having fun so she would get all excited too and start clapping.

I am so happy the Steelers one! Whooo hooo!!! I wish Jon could have seen it.
