Baby Sister Annabelle

Well, the big day finally came- my baby sister, Annabelle Sue Justus, arrived on Thursday, April 19th.  We had a grand time with all of our visitors.  Here is a little recap of the last few days.

I brought Sissy a butterfly balloon and baby doll- I needed to win her over to my side early- even though I love my parents, it never hurts to have someone watching your back.

 Giving her my baby doll.

 And Daddy got me a present too!

 I already love her so much.

 And Annabelle got me a baby doll as well- sisters can read each other's minds.

 Mimi's been here for about a week and we waited for Sissy to arrive the whole time.

 And all of Daddy's family came in as well.

 Aunt Lauren came from DC- she was very helpful since she works with little babies all the time.

All dressed up and ready to come home!

I'm sure that Annabelle herself will stop by to introduce herself, until then, I'll be happy to continue chronicling her early days for you.

Happy Easter!

 I really liked everything in my Easter basket-

 Until I saw everything that Dad had in his!

Just one, please?

We planted some things over the weekend.

 Pouring the dirt was my favorite.

Catch up

Hello again- here's  little catch up on what I've been up to this last month.

I had my 2 year check up-

 99% for height

81% for weight

and they thought my clothes were shrinking in the dryer!

 Celebrated a chilly Valentines day.

I'm officially moved into my big girl room- I LOVE the flowers and birdies!

 Here is Sissy's new room- I let her use some of my stuff, I hope she likes it.

 Nana and Gramps came to visit.

 I showed them my trike.

And planted some seeds with Gramps- my favorite will be the onions- I LOVE them- especially raw onion rings.  You should smell my breathe after I eat them. Or maybe you shouldn't.

 I anxiously wait for the mail lady to come every day-then run up the hill to see if I got anything.

And I had my 2 year old photo shoot- you can check out my gallery below:  password: bjustus

And we have about 6 weeks to go until Sissy arrives!

My Bee- Day Party!

It's official, I'm 2 and I LOVE to party- especially when it is mine!  We had a great Bee birthday party!

We had it at church since, well, it IS February and supposed to be cold outside.

I wore my bee headband and wings and my yellow tutu.

Everybody helped decorate the church so it was a yellow, pink, and black party central.

We chased balloons, did a pinata, had a bee parade, and ate lots of goodies!

I really enjoyed all of my family who came to celebrate my big day.

JackJack and I played a LOT

and we all basically hung out between naps and party prepping.

I really enjoyed opening presents this year- Christmas gave me good practice.

 

I got a trike!  So excited about this one.

Aunt Ali gave me sparkly TOMS shoes.  Just my style.

Daddy gave me a special necklace- my favorite accessory.

I loved turning 2!  I'd do it every day if I could.
