A mind of her own

Makayla definitely has a mind of her own... This is what she wanted to wear to church a couple of weeks ago. Her dress that I planned for her to wear is hanging on the door behind her. She did end up wearing the dress, but the transition between this outfit (nightgown,easter necklace, and church shoes) and her dress was not pretty. I'll just leave it at that.

I also have to add that she loves to take pictures on her bed like this. I had her do it once, and not she wants to smile for the camera everytime she lays on her bed like this.

27 weeks

I can't believe that I am already 27 weeks along in this pregnancy. That only leaves 13 weeks before Kellan is estimated to arrive. I feel huge. After looking at this picture though I realize that my baby belly is not nearly as huge as it feels. We still have to get the rest of Makayla's things out of her old room, so we have made very little progress with baby preperations. I did pick out bedding last week when I registered. I am looking forward to getting his nursery together but am seriously lacking the energy to get anything done. We will probably get started after we get the bedding. I am just ready to meet him and see what he looks like.

Sidewalk Art

Makayla loves to do art. Anything art...She will love. Right now she is really into sidewalk chalk and watercolors.
Her drawings are becoming much more recognizable. This for example is a giraffe.

This is a picture that she drew of a fish. She did both of these all by herself, and I have no idea how she learned how to draw real pictures. It's still very cute though!

visiting grandma

We went to visit my Grandma in Springfield, MO this weekend while Nathan was in Oregon for his brother's graduation. Makayla had a great time visiting and spending time with Grandma. This was the last trip that we will be making anywhere far away until at least Christmas. It was not pleasant at all to travel that far in the car. All that driving gets really old. Luckily Makayla is happy in the car as long as she has her movie!
