My baby girl is growing up!

As hard as it is to believe, my baby girl really isn't a baby anymore!  Tomorrow is Camryn 6th birthday!  Which means I'll be celebrating my 6th year of being a Mommy.  What a joy it has been to watch Camryn grow from a precious newborn to a beautiful and very intelligent little lady.  This fall she will begin first grade...where in the world does the time go?

We celebrated Cam's birthday a little early with lots of her friends from school and the neighborhood.  We decided to keep things super easy and inexpensive so we brought out our inflatable waterslide and set up an ice cream sundae bar.  Summer birthdays rock!  It was a beautiful day to celebrate the birth of our little princess!

The waterslide is always a hit!

We all scream for ice cream!

I actually got all of them to look at the camera at the same time!  Just call me a miracle worker :)

Camryn and Emily-doesn't get much cuter than this!!

Cam's best buddy Emily who used to live just across the street made the trip down for her party!

woo hoo!

What a fun afternoon!  It does a momma's heart good to know that her daughter is surrounded by the sweetest friends.  Happy Birthday to my little Cam Cam!

An exciting announcement!

Last Monday was supposed to be our 20 week baby check up but ended up being our 23 week check up due to vacation and waiting on insurance changes.  I had been anxiously awaiting this appointment because it's the big ultrasound where the baby is checked from head to toe to make sure all parts are growing as they should.  This is also the ultrasound where we knew we'd be able to find out the sex of the baby.  All along I was firm in my decision to let this one be a surprise.  But Jacob wanted nothing to do with that!  Finally, the night before the appointment I had trouble sleeping and thought about it a lot during the night.  I decided I really wanted to know now because the actual birth of the baby will be plenty of excitement for one day.  Our little one was a wiggle worm throughout the ultrasound process but after some trying the technician was able to identify and label of the important parts.  It looks like we are going to have another happy and healthy baby....praise God!

We were also thrilled to find out that we are expecting another baby girl!!!  That is exactly what Jacob and I were both hoping for.  I have been around baby boys for several years now with Dawson and the little ones I watched in my home.  I felt I needed a little more pink in my life ;)  We had already decided on the name if the baby was a girl, so allow me to introduce you to our newest addition, Lillian "Lily" Grace Favaro.

I know the picture quality isn't the best but I think she looks absolutely perfect!  I know she's going to melt my heart just like her big brother and sister do!  16 more weeks until we see that sweet face :)
