Happy Valentine's Day!

We have so much love in this family! Lily got spoiled by both grandparents and mommy & daddy. This morning: opening her gifts from mommy & daddy - books, a coloring book and crayons and magnetic numbers to put on the refrigerator. Gotta love the dollar aisle at Target =)

Thursday night: opening a gift from Grandma and Grandpa Cross.
She got a cute teddy bear that says "Somebody in Georgetown loves you" and an Elmo card that says "Elmo loves you."


Hugging her teddy bear

Nana and Papa also got Lily this teddy bear and a card!

These are some random photos from the past week.
Not really a baby anymore. She's getting to be a big girl!
Thursday night Lily was really cranky. She didn't have much of a nap that day because my mom took her to lunch with a friend, and she just didn't get a nap in. Anson put her in the basket and she laid there for a good 5 minutes.
Running around in circles and screaming...one of her favorite things to do, especially when we are trying to watch TV or a movie.



Baby Boy Update: As of yesterday I am 9 months pregnant or 36 weeks. One more week and he'll be considered full term. I had really bad back labor pains yesterday, and I was achy all over. Today was better, but we did a lot of running around that wore me out. Looking forward to staying home and doing nothing tomorrow!

Our New Grocery-go-Getter

Isn't she pretty? We have to turn in the Vue in two weeks, so we went yesterday to look at a blue Dodge Grand Caravan I found online at Spitzer. They didn't have the one I saw anymore, but they did have this Chrysler Town & Country in the same color. It only has 12,600 miles and is a 2008. We were at the dealership for over 3 hours, but it is a relief to have it. Poor Lily was such a good girl. If I've learned anything by being a mom, it's to always be prepared with juice, milk, snacks, toys and a binkie for when she wants to fall asleep on our shoulders. My diaper bag is about to get bigger!
I may be imagining it, but I swear it feels like Baby boy dropped this weekend. I have increasingly painful pelvic pressure and my walk has most definitely become a waddle. Anson had to put my socks on this morning because I can't bend over very well. I am so ready for him to be here. I told Lily this morning to tell him to come out and she said "Out, out, out!" He hasn't listened, though.
Here are some photos for all of you who are out of state. This past week so got A LOT of snow. Today was actually a heat wave at 44 degrees...hopefully some of this will melt...though I heard more is headed our way.
