Pictures from the Weekend
This past Saturday Karys and I made her first fairly long car trip. We drove to Forney to spend the day with my parents and sister (about an hour and forty minute drive). She did really good in the car. My sister managed to snag some great shots of her and was disappointed that I hadn't posted them yet. So here ya go:

Fun Play Date
We attempted to get them to hold hands :)
We eventually had to move Karys down a little bit because Ethan's hands were just a little too active and kept hitting her in the face!

Girls Can Wear Blue Too!!
The outfit in question
So, the first woman to mistakenly identify her gender sees me in the formula aisle. She asks how old the baby is and then says something about him being a big baby...how much does he weigh? To which I reply, "At her one month check up, she weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz." which gets the reply of, "Oh, it's a girl?" Bear in mind that this woman is looking right at Karys; the outfit is trimmed in pink and she is wearing white socks WITH RUFFLES!! Her feet are very easy to see, in case I give this woman the benefit of the doubt and say maybe it was hard to see the whole outfit when she was strapped in her car seat. It's not hard to see her socks! The second woman to do the same thing is one of the employees handing out the free samples. As I'm walking past, she steps away from her post to come peek into the car seat and very confidently says, "Awww, it's a little boy." Aye yi yi!!
For those of you who haven't seen our car seat, here is a picture of it:
I picked this one because I thought it was pretty gender neutral. It didn't really scream "boy" or "girl" to me. The colors might be a little more masculine, but I thought they were balanced out by the polka dots...a little more girlie. Plus, I didn't want to get a car seat that was girlie because our plan is not to just have one baby. And should a subsequent baby be a boy, he would not be riding around in a pink car seat.
I guess that is the end to my rant. :) My question is this: does an infant girl have to be drowning in pink in order to be identified as a girl??? :)
See, even mommies can wear blue! :)
On a fun note, she has started "talking" back to us sometimes when we talk to her (meaning she makes her sweet baby noises on purpose). We caught some of this on video the other day and I tried to upload it. However apparently our video camera creates files that are too big for Blogger. So here's just a cute video I captured one day last week. Hopefully I'll get a "talking" video up here soon. Hope you enjoy!

Ryan took this picture after I finished her bath the other night before I got to brush her hair because he thought it was funny. :)

About Me
- Janette
- 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. :)
