Our Year: 2012

It's been quite a year here! We started off the year with a deployment and pregnancy. In January we found out at my gender party that our Rose was indeed a girl!

In Feburary not a whole lot happened...some playdates, Hubby had a birthday (which he wasn't here for) and I was still making a baby!

In March my handsome little Sonshine turned 2, I was still baking the bun in my oven, my mom came to visit (and we had a fun photo shoot with my amazing friend Melissa Posilero Photography  below), and we enjoyed lots of rain with our fun rain boots and umbrellas!

In April we celebrated my 23rd birthday, enjoyed a beautiful Easter with my beautiful friend Vanessa and her family and then Vanessa throw me a GORGEOUS baby shower!

In May I met up with J. Vendetti Photography for my maternity pictures and we picked up my mom at the end of the month so she could be there for Rose's Birth.

In June I spent some time enjoying having my mom around and my last few days with only one child.

Before Rosie came out to meet all of us! She was born on the 11th at 10:08pm and weighed in at 8 lbs 2oz and 20.5in! be sure to check out Rosie's birth story here. Then we spent the rest of June enjoying every second of her! Logan is a wonderful big brother, J.Vendetti Photography did her pictures again and we TRIED to send the hubby a NICE picture for father's day (this was the best we got!)

Then July came around and FINALLY my family became complete again! My hubby got to meet Rose just an hour after she hit 1 month old! We also celebrated Rose's first 4th and spent the rest of the month hanging out (we went to the zoo!), babywearing, being silly and just figuring out how to be a family of 4.

August was FULL of fun with two babywearing playdates with the PAXbaby family- one at the Jelly Belly Factory (yayy for free jelly beans!) and one at a park where I got to meet tons of my lovely babywearing friends in real life! Rose also hit 2 months old.

In September a sweet friend of mine had her little girl and so Rose got to meet her little friend J. Rose hit 3 months old. Then we spent the rest of the month getting ready for our big PCS cross-country and then finally we started our long drive by heading down to San Diego where we got to spend some time with a high school friend of mine and her beautiful family.

October started off with us making it to the east coast, spending some time at my parents and visiting the local children's museum there. Then we arrived at our new base and found ourselves a new house to call a home! We also enjoyed the air show, Rose hit 4 months and celebrated her first Halloween. Sonshine was Thor and Rose was a ladybug and we went trick or treating on base.

November started with a haircut for Sonshine followed by Rose hitting 5 months old and a trip to the Grandparent's for Rose's first Thanksgiving!

We ended the year with lots of Christmas festivities! We put up the tree and stockings, Rose hit 6 months old, we made cookies, and took family pictures with AK Photography. Both kids were blessed with some FANTASTIC Christmas gifts this year and then we all went out for dinner to celebrate our 4th anniversary. Tomorrow Sonshine has an evaluation with a speech therapist and then we will ring 2013 at our beautiful home together for the first time since we rang in 2010.

How was your 2012?
