Pregnancy Pics.

I thought I would share some prego pics for those of you that I haven't seen in a while. I really thought I was getting bigger this time than with Karly but when you compare the two pregnancies by pics, I don't think there quite as big as a difference as I thought there was.
So this is me with only 3 weeks to go~ can't wait to meet my new little lady!! ; )

My girls are good to me!!

Karly's BIG girl room

So as we started to prepare for Miss Kynly, we had to invest in some new furniture for Karly. I wasn't quite sure how she was going to adapt to her big girl bed so over the summer we left her crib in her room to sleep in at night and her and I would take our naps in her big girl bed with hopes that she would eventually just want to sleep in it. And she did!! After napping in her big girl bed for about a month, I went to put her in her crib one evening and she pointed to her BIG girl bed! I was super excited that the transition worked so smoothly!! She only fell out of bed twice (it's a platform bed so she didn't get hurt) before we decided to officially move the baby furniture out of her room and into what would be Kynly's and set up ALL her new stuff!! By far she has the coolest room!! And with a little help from Aunt Sarah for the curtain and organizing, I LOVE Karly's new BIG girl room and I think she's pretty fond of it too!! So the girls will each have their own look! I trying to pick her room up before taking pictures, but those of you that have a almost 2 year old will understand.

Karly was literally getting her toys out faster than I could click!

Ready or not, here she comes

Karly and I had a SUPER summer together!! I can't believe I'm already back to work and summer is over. I totally blog slacked and didn't post much of anything and now I am going to be paying for it! Getting back into the swing of being a working Mommy and wife has been quite difficult this year. Not sure if it's because I don't want to be working or the fact that I am 8 months pregnant!! (I'm tending to lean more towards the 2nd excuse!) So with that said Stephen, Karly and I are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our new addition, Miss Kynly Lynn!! This pregancy has been quite different than Karly's in many ways! She is the "right way" not breach so that has brought on all new adventures!! All in all, it's almost ALL over with and I think I can make it another 3 weeks and 2 days, but who's counting, right?! Kynly is due to arrive on the morning of Thursday, September 16th if I can keep her in for that long!! So ready or not, here she comes! Here are a few pics of her nursery. It's VERY different than Karly's but I am loving it more everyday!

Thanks to Uncle Mike for the BEAUTIFUL Monkey and Giraffee pics!!

LOVE them!

The 4th at the lake!

Karly, Daddy, Grandma, Uncle Jeff, Aunt Grandma, Uncle Grandpa, cousin Nicole, Gary, cousin Alec, and I spent a LOVELY 4 day weekend at the lake of the Ozarks. I have to tell you that I was quite nervous on how she was going to doing, sleeping wise and all, at a new place...not at home. She is quite the routine kinda girl so I thought we were going to be in for it for sure. Little did I know that Karly was going to do AWESOME and act as if she had been there a thousand times. I guess when you are surrounded by ALL of your favorite people that you love, it doesn't matter where you are. She got to go skinny dippin, go on her first tubing ride, ride in the boat (her favorite), watch the fireworks or "stars" from the middle of the lake, eat homemade ice cream, and play, play, play. And boy did she sleep good!! We can't wait till our next trip to the lake! Thanks Aunt Grandma and Uncle Grandpa for a WONDERFUL 4th!

She wasn't too fond of tubing until we picked up a little speed! Then she had fun!

Karly's first boat ride in her NEW princess life jacket!

Watching the "stars" with Aunt Grandma! XOXO

Family pics

After Stephen's Mom, Nana, took such great pictures of Miss Karly in the bath tub I realized that we, as a family, had not had our pictures taken since shortly after Karly was born. Before we add our SECOND addition, I thought we should get a few more shots in. Nana and Poppa Bob came to our house this morning to shoot some photos. I was hoping that I didn't ruin them all...I haven't been taking the best pictures as I get older! Here are a few of my favs!

Thanks again Nana! We love you! XOXO

Good ol' fashion bath tub fun!

(Momma's Favorite!)

Today we met up with Nana, Poppa Bob, and Sophie for some good ol' fashion bath tub pics at Nana's house. Little did Karly know she was going for more than just to see Sophie...I thought we were off to a not so good start when I asked her if she wanted to play in the water and her response was "Nope!" (the newest reply when asked a question). Needless to say the pictures turned out AMAZING and I LOVE them ALL! She was quite the "little poser" with the help of Momma, Poppa Bob, and Sophie of course. Thanks to Nana for taking such GREAT photos of our little one. They are so good that when I went to print them at Wal-Mart, the lady just about didn't let me have them because of the "copyright laws". Little does she know, we are blessed to have such a talented Nana to take our "professional" pictures for us!

Family pics soon to come! : )

The "froggy pose" just for Nana! ; )

Daddy's favorite - doesn't she look so innocent, NOT!

Super Cutie!

One of Nana's favs!

Karly and Miss Sophie!

ABC's

Where does the summer go!! First off I can't believe I've already been off for almost 3 weeks. Karly and I have been trying to stay busy. The first week was a blast! We walked to our neighborhood pool everyday and spent some time splish-splashing in the water! She loves it for about 30 minutes and then is ready to go home to do sidewalk chalk or swing. The second week, when the rain set in, we hit the mall, rode the carousel, and visited Nana, Poppa Bob, and one of her new favorites, Sophie, their boxer-rotti mix dog. And since the rain still hasn't left going into mid-week of #3, we are getting quite creative to find things indoors and around the house to stay busy. Thanks to the movie Shrek 2, which is quite the hit these days too! She loves the kitty cat best of course. We have also been working on colors, counting, and the ABC's. Call me crazy, but my one and a half year old can now say most of her colors, count to 10, and sing her ABC's. I know...it sounds like I'm a bragging Mom, but I promise she does! When it was nap time today, I final got a good video of her singing from my phone (so it's not even the best)! I can't believe she can do all the things she does at her age!

What can I say, she's a smarty pants! ; )
