All the Latest

I seem to be getting really bad at not posting lately...it just seems to take so much time to think of what to say and decide on pics to post!! :) Anyway, here's the latest:

-As of last weekend, Karys can now pull up to standing. She did it in her crib last Friday and since then there's no stopping her. (Now can you guess what she does the minute you put her in bed?? ;)

-We've started her eating baby food three times a day as of this week. So far, so good.

-She's a crawling MACHINE! (See video at the bottom).

-Here's just a funny pic of what she does with those crawling skills (chases the cat!):

Today we went for a play date...here are just a few pics of Karys, Stephanie, and Stephanie's cousin, Luke:

Such pretty girls!

Would you guess Karys is the oldest in the bunch? ;)

And now, here's her crawling skills!

Her Very First...PONYTAIL!!

Today we went over for a play date with Catherine and her daughter, Stephanie, who is 2 1/2 weeks younger than Karys. Anytime we're going on an outing like that, I make sure Karys wears one of her super cute outfits, since going out is more special than staying at home! Today's outfit of choice is an adorable romper we found at Sam's. After she got up from her morning nap, her hair was CRAZY!! I decided to see if it was long enough to be put into a ponytail and it was!! I think she's ready to be a cover model. :)

A Video as Promised

I posted a couple of videos on facebook, for those of you who are on there. However, there are plenty of people not on facebook, so I'm posting a video that I think is hilarious! And, it's actually about a month old! Ryan started doing "The Robot" with Karys and it's just so stinkin' funny to me. You be the judge:

Easter 2009

Sorry for being MIA for so long. I just can't seem to find enough time to do a lot of blogging...or much computer stuff, period! :) I would say that there just isn't all that much exciting stuff going on in our lives, but then that would mean I was neglecting to tell you ....we have a crawling baby!! :) Maybe that's why I can't seem to get other stuff done...I'm too busy chasing her around! She is a huge mess...she loves to get into things she's not supposed to and has started figuring out how to climb on things (like the other day when Ryan turned around to find that she was sitting on the treadmill!----of course it was off!)

She's also climbed under the coffee table...

...and the Exersaucer!

Yesterday marked her very first Easter. I'm still not sure what traditions we'll do each year because I definitely didn't do that great with any kind of traditions this year! She did have an Easter dress--which I've had for about a year now! Last year, after I had found out she was going to be a girl, I went to Kohl's to look for some maternity clothes, and of course had to wander over to the baby section. I started going through all of the stuff that was on clearance and figuring out in my head what month she'd be what age (does that make sense?). Anyway, I found this beautiful dress for only $3.20! It is the perfect Easter dress...so sweet!

In my first attempt to take pictures, we'd just gotten home from church and she was hungry. So I sat her in the chair (not knowing she was so hungry!) and she started crying. Which is why the picture doesn't look all that great!

After a much-needed nap (for her, of course) we went over to Ryan's sister's house like we do every year. Amber always does an Easter egg hunt for her kids, so I made up some eggs for Karys. Since there's really nothing to put in an egg that she can have, I put dried rice in some eggs and pennies in some and glued them shut so she could just have rattles. I'm still not really sure if she likes them. I don't think she gets what to do with them! While we were over there, she decided she needed to clean the spokes of Connor's wheelchair! :)

And when we got home, we took a family picture:Stay tuned for videos to be put up here soon! :)
