Back to the Future

Kory was busy all week taking orders from a crazy nesting woman who is trying to find all my baby stuff! I had totally forgotten how much “stuff” comes with a baby. I am slowly remembering all the neat things we have to welcome our new baby home. Kaitlin was thrilled when we brought out some new “toys."

We are really in trouble! I can already see a fight for the Bumbo now! I can not remember her ever being this little and now it is so amazing to see how my baby has changed into a Big girl!!

I have about 6 weeks until we have another baby and I couldn’t be more excited!! People have been asking if I am putting the finishing touches on his room. I try not to laugh… we have started on his room that is currently a guest room! We have a place to change him which will be used very frequently in the months to come!

Here is the rest of the “nursery” We have a LOT of work to do but I know it will all get done!

If not, newborns can totally sleep in a queen sized bed right!!?? We will be getting to work! Actually poor Kory will be working while I give directions!

Happy Birthday Kiki

Today is Kaitlin’s Kiki’s birthday!  Now that Kaitlin is a little older, they’ve become BFFs whenever they’re around.  They love to read together …

And go window shopping in stores that Kory believes are a little too old for Kaitlin …

They’re always having a great time no matter what they’re doing, and Kaitlin can’t wait for Kiki to come visit her in March!

Tutu Fun

Kaitlin is more and more fun everyday!! Last week we played dress up for hours and it was a blast. At one point she was yelling for “Help” and when Kory came to her rescue she needed help because she had dumped ALL her stuffed animals out of the bins! She told him to “clean up big mess”! Kaitlin is a riot!

Practicing her curtsey!

She is really growing up too fast! I can’t believe I am planning her 3rd birthday party!

We are so busy these days and I usually have to wake Kaitlin up from naptime or in the morning to get somewhere on time so Friday we had a special day of not going anywhere!  It was wonderful and we got some much needed down time. She wanted to watch a little show on “HER ELMOPAD” before naptime and she was just so happy to be at home!

Somehow between Christmas and spring cleaning we had lost “red car” for a couple weeks! Kaitlin found him on Friday and did not let him out of her hand!

Kory and Kaitlin had an ice cream  date on Friday while I was helping get ready for a baby shower! They had the best time and Kaitlin went on and on about it when they got home!! Kory is such a great dad and I foresee many more dates in their future!
