2011- A year in review

This past year has been one of the greatest years of my life. 2010 was awesome, because we welcomed our beautiful baby girl into our little family

January- Angelina turned 10 months old this month!!! Her walking has gotten much better and she has also tried running, which makes this Momma very nervous!!! She still has a very good appetite and is drinking 4 8 oz bottles of formula plus she is eating three meals a day.

This month we also began an aggressive house search.

February- Angelina turned 11 months old this month and is still doing the same as last month. I started planning her first birthday and we celebrated my 38th birthday and Valentines day for the first time as a family of three.

March- Angelina turned a year old this month!!!!We had two birthday parties this month!!! One was with friends at the university that the Hubby works at and the other was for family. Both themes were Winnie the Pooh and Friends and Elmo even paid a visit (in balloon form). The birthday girl had a blast at both parties.

April- Angelina turned 13 months old this month and we celebrated her second Easter. We took her to the Easter service and church and she heard the resurrection story for the first time. We spent the holiday with the grandparents and had a blast "hunting"   Easter eggs with her.

May- Angelina turned 14 months old this month and we celebrated my second Mother's day. The hubby bought me a special Mother's day cake. We used this day to just relax as a family of 3 and just enjoyed the day and the weather.

June: This is the month when Angelina turned 15 months old, and we celebrated the hubby's second Father's day. We also found a house that we really feel in love with. We were about t put an offer in on another house, but Paul decided to look on more time online, and he found that we both liked. We called the next day to look at it, and then two days later looked at it again and the next day put in an offer. Our offer was accepted the next day and we closed on it at the end of the month. This was an exciting month for us!!!!!!

July- We closed on our house at the end of last month. We also had a nice mini vacation for the 4th of July and after coming back it was time to pack and move into the new house. It was an exciting and busy month. Angelina turned 16 months old this month.

August- Not much happened this month, we just adjusted to the new house and our new routine with Angelina who turned 17 months old this month. Her routine changed a little bit, she went from two naps a day to just one nap a day.

September- Not much happened this month. Just enjoying being  a family of 3 and enjoying our time together. Angelina turned 18 months old this month.

October: This month Angelina turned 19 months old!!! This was the month where Angelina caught her first stomach bug and she also had her first ER trip. I had the same stomach bug, which she caught from me, Paul even caught the same bug, his parents came to visit and they both caught the bug too!!! I think overall, it took us at least two weeks to get healthy again. This was also the month when Angelina stopped her night time bottle (on her own).

November: This was a busy month for us!!! Not only did Angelina turn 20 months old this month, but the hubby celebrated the big 4-0!!!! We had three celebrations for him, the first was with friends, the second was just the three of us, and the third was with his family. I'd day he had a great birthday. I also hosted Thanksgiving for the first time. And I must say this it was a success.

December: Angelina turned 21 months old this month. I cannot believe she is almost two already!!! Where did the time go? She is walking, running, jumping, talking, twirling, singing, and screaming. She is such a delight, she is the light of my life and I love her with all of my heart. We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We kind of went a bit over board with the gifts for Angelina, but oh well. She loved everything that Santa brought her.

All in all, 2011 was a great year and I hope that 2012 will be an even greater year!!!!
