Change is coming...

6 weeks to go until Q arrives! I'm filled with a mix of emotions from "what the H was I thinking" to "I'm never doing this again" to "I want him to come today" to "we have a million things to do!!!!" Then I take a deep breath and know it is going to be okay and it will all work out!! I have put on 10 (YES 10) pounds this week. Could it be a rapid growth spurt by baby, or all of the birthday celebrations and cake leftovers? We'll go with option 1!! I'm heading to Walmart to buy several pairs of capri sweats (XL) and raiding L's t-shirt drawer-- In the next few weeks you will see me in a wide variety of old fraternity t's, big pants, and flip flops as my swollen feet will fit into nothing else! WOW-- I feel so pretty!!

Aunt B is notorious for buying K the coolest and BIGGEST gifts. Here she is on a Dora ATV-- it is battery operated and runs with the push of a button! K has figured out the button and can cruise the house at 15 mph!!


Parent lesson learned today... don't give K ice cream and then stick her in a swing...


Aunt M gave K this purse for her birthday and she wants to take it EVERYWHERE! The other day we were all ready to go and K becomes upset. I try snack, milk, diaper, nothing works. Finally I put her down and she goes to the purse, puts her monkey inside, tries to zip it, puts it on her arm, and looks at me as if to say "DUH MOM! How can I leave the house without THIS!?"


Although she's not quite walking, K will scale entire walls. She has mastered the sideways walk...


Oh Blocks! Hours of entertainment (for daddy). I asked L if we could move the blocks downstairs as they take up our entire livingroom (love them but...) and he gave me the most brokenhearted look I have ever seen!! The blocks stay upstairs!! How would daddy make it without them???
