Playing Catch Up...Again!

The past two weeks have just felt like a whirlwind. So busy, yet so entertaining. Let's catch up...

Last week Makayla was rummaging through one of the kitchen cabinets. Usually, she finds some dishes to play with. She was quiet for a little bit (warning sign!), but then approached me with THIS in her mouth...

Why, you might ask?! I have no idea! She hasn't used a pacifier since she was five months old. She sure enjoyed this one though, and ran around with it all afternoon. Silly little girl!

Planting flowers - last Saturday morning, Makayla and I planted flowers. She enjoyed digging in the dirt, but didn't much like getting dirt on her hands. What am I going to do with her?! (Yes, she is in her PJs...once again, only in the country!)

Ready for the Kentucky Derby!
Makayla found this hat in one of her dresser drawers. She put it on and said, "Yee haw! I'm a cowboy!" Where she comes up with these things, I'm never quite sure, but she always keeps us laughing!!!

Swim class - Makayla started her Toddler and Me swim class on Monday. She LOVES the water. It's hard to keep her out. We're learing to use a wait command and then having her jump in the water. The waiting is the hardest part for her. She wants to jump right in!


Still feeling good - At nearly 35 weeks, I feel great. Some evenings I feel more tired than others, but keeping up with my favorite little lady somehow gives me the energy I need. I can't believe baby "brudder" will be here soon!


Diaper drop - My co-workers gave me the wonderful gift of a diaper drop yesterday. I couldn't believe how many diapers they gave me. They did the same when Makayla was born. We didn't buy diapers until she was six months old! I am thankful for such amazing friends!


Preparing for baby "brudder"
Last evening, Seth and I spent some time preparing the nursery. He worked on the crib and I hung valances. I'm so excited to see everything come together. We have some decorating yet to do, but I'm excited to see the crib up and ready. Won't be long now!

You look fantastic! I wish I looked like that at 35 weeks! And Makayla is such a sweety! I can't wait to see her again!
