She's A Big Girl Now!!!

Don't worry, we're still around....even though I only seem to be able to talk myself into posting once a month (or sometimes less!!). I'll try to get better. I have lots of updating to do, but my child has already woken up from her nap, so I'll just do a short one right now with hopes of posting the video I took earlier later on today. For Christmas, my parents got Karys her "big girl" carseat. At her 15 mo. checkup (when she was actually 16 mos.), she weighed in at 19 lbs. 4 oz. and the doctor said it was okay to go ahead and turn her around. This was at the beginning of December, so we figured that by Christmas it'd be even more likely that maybe she'd hit that 20 lb. mark. I'm not sure that she really has quite yet, but she was really starting to outgrow that baby seat. So at 17 mos. old, she finally got to face forward in the car!!! :) She looked like such a giant in her infant seat, that now facing the other way in such a big seat, she looks tiny!! :)
(Oh, and I finally got around to changing my header and background!! :) Those pics that were on my header were over a year old!! And since I'm about 25 lbs. lighter than that picture, it was way past time to take that down!! :)

Yay for the big girl seat! Not sure if you knew & just decided to try something different, but the forward facing seats are safest on the side (they say the passenger is the safest...not sure why?)instead of the middle like the infant seats. Not trying to tell you what to do though :)

About Me

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. :)
