I have actually taken a ton of pictures of
Makayla since I last posted any pics. It just seems like time is a very
precious commodity when a toddler is around.
Makayla is taking up a lot of time these days. It seems that she is not happy playing alone.
We have also been super busy getting ready for
Makayla's big girl room! Nathan cleaned the carpets with a rug doctor a few weeks ago. I don't know if the nesting has already kicked in or what my deal with the carpets was prior to that, but I just really felt like they needed to be cleaned. Whenever I would walk into a room with carpet that thought would take over. Luckily Nathan values my sanity and clean carpets, so he was more than happy to clean them for me. We had not ever cleaned the carpets
ourself like that before, but I have to say that the rug doctor did just as good of a job as the expensive guys that we have had to come and clean the carpets for us in the past. I am a happy camper.
Tomorrow is a BIG DAY for
Makayla! Her big girl furniture will be here. She is very lucky to have Uncle Ryan who is willing to pick it up for her. She loves her "big girl room" already. She loves to play in the open room that will contain her brand new big girl furniture tomorrow! Last weekend
Makayla's Granna went with us to Little Rock to get bedding and things for her new room. I think I have mentioned that we have a VERY strong willed child. I asked her that morning before I left what color she wanted her "covers" for her big girl bed to be. She was very certain that she wanted purple. (I am not and never was a purple girl! I am 100% a pink girl.)I assumed that she didn't really understand what I was asking. When we got to Target to look at bedding her
Granna and I showed her every pink bedding set that we found. No luck. It turns out that she really did want purple. Unfortunately she saw the purple sets that we never offered her. That is when we realized exactly how BADLY she really wanted purple bedding. Good thing that I didn't really care what bedding was on her bed because at that moment I realized that we were not leaving with our ear drums in tact if we did not have purple bedding. I have to admit that it really is cute for something that is almost all purple.
I don't know if I have posted this before, but
Makayla takes gymnastics every Thursday at her school. The nice people from River City Gymnastics come to her school and being all of the equipment for the kids that choose to participate.
Makayla has recently become much more interested in her "
plips". (That is flips for the rest of us.) She typically does her "
plips" in her currently vacant "Big girl room". I do have concerns that she will not be happy when she has to sacrifice some of her "
nastics" space to make room for her new furniture.
Other than Baby
Kellan kickin' up a storm in my belly this is
basically what we have been doing recently other than parents going to work and little girl going to school. Things are definitely coming together at our house.
Kellan has most of his clothes that he will need while I am on maternity leave and a few months after. I really haven't given too much thought to his room yet other than that I don't think I want to do sports themed bedding bedding because I haven't found any that I like. It is so funny that things that seem so urgent with the first baby seem relatively insignificant with the second. At this time with
Makayla I felt an urgent need to prepare her room, but I don't seem to feel an urgent need to do much nesting at all yet for him. Poor kid. I wouldn't even have any clothes for him yet if I had not run across an awesome sale with deals that I would have had to be crazy to pass up.
I will post pics of
Makayla in her new room sometime this week. Please pray that we don't have rain tomorrow and will be able to pick up her furniture and get it put together easily.
