Ahhh, Finally...Pictures! And Video!!

My sweet friend, Alison, asked me this morning at church how I was doing because my latest blogs haven't been as perky and upbeat as usual. Honestly, I haven't been feeling quite as perky and upbeat because I'm kind of in the middle of a little pity party I'm throwing for myself. :) However, I can choose my own attitude and I'm am aiming to try and choose a happy one as often as possible. Starting.....NOW. :)

So, here are some new pics for your enjoyment. Karys is getting really close to being able to sit independently. I attempted to catch some pics of that. She does pretty well having the Boppy behind her for support. (And to my sister, Julie: this is the Winnie the Pooh outfit you gave her!)


And now, video #1: My wonderful friend, Stephanie, gave Karys what is turning out to be her favorite toy for Christmas. It's a ring stacker that stacks stars and has lights and plays music. I have to admit, it's a pretty fun toy. So this video is highlighting her "almost" sitting skills and her love of this toy.


And this video is funniest if you get the background behind it. If you don't watch "The Soup" on E! this might not be as funny. The show highlights/makes fun of clips of shows that are on TV during the week and every once in a while they make fun of a kids' show called "Yo Gabba Gabba." The part they highlight has a kid by himself saying "My name is ___ and I like to dance!" followed by said kid doing whatever "dance" moves he wants to do to music being played. Recently Ryan started doing that with Karys and I find it totally hilarious...especially since it makes her smile and laugh too (although sometimes she smiles/laughs because I'm doing it, but oh well!). Tonight after her bath, Ryan had her in front of the mirror doing that and she was hilarious because when he'd move her to one side she'd hike up her leg which made it all the more funny. Hopefully you find it funny too!

The dancing video is too cute. I absolutely can't stand Yo Gabba Gabba though :P

Both my kids love the star stacker too. What's really cool is watching them go from where they're just kind of batting it around like Karys to where they can actually take the stars off and on. It's a great toy. LOVED the dancing video!

we watch The Soup every Friday night!! Love it! Karys is WAY cuter than any kid they have ever had on Yo Gabba Gabba!

Very funny! Baby's can be so darn entertaining can't they?!!! You and Ryan were equally as entertaining! :)

Hang in there friend, you are being prayed for! I know choosing a good attitude is hard to do!

About Me

My photo
I've been a wife for over seven years, a mommy of one for 2 and a half years, and a mommy of two as of 12/28/10! :) I married Ryan on July 26, 2003. We always said we wanted to have kids sometime around our fifth anniversary. The closer that time came, the more we started thinking we still needed another year. However, God held us to our original plan because Karys Elizabeth was born July 30, 2008...4 days after our 5th anniversary. :) I quit my job teaching kindergarten to take on the much more rewarding "career" of stay-at-home mom. There are some days that are hard, but I love it just the same. God surprised us again in May 2010 when we found out we were having baby #2. I went through the entire pregnancy expecting him to go past his January 9, 2011 due date since his sister was overdue. However, Zane Elliott surprised us by making his debut on December 28, 2010, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Now that we have "one of each" we could be "done" with our family, but hopefully that won't be the case. :)
