Goofy girl!

Makayla is just so funny!
She always has us laughing about something. I don't really have much else to say, but she is just really funny!

Thanks Aunt Connie!


Thanks for the Elmo clothes! They made Makayla really happy. Especially this sweater. She really liked it and wanted to wear it as soon as she got it out of the box.

Poop

Makayla has been very focused on poop lately. Everything she sees that remotely looks like poop become poop and very yucky.

It is really funny to me because this whole poop thing started a couple of weeks ago when she was pooping on the potty.

The conversation went something like this:
Makayla: I pooped
Me: You did poop. Didn't you?
Makayla: You don't eat poop.
Me: No we don't eat poop.
MAkayla: YOU DON'T EAT POOP!
Me: I know we don't eat poop.
Makayla: Eating poop is gross!
Me: Yes it is gross!
Makayla: You don't eat poop.

We have never had issues with Makayla wanting to eat her poop. I wonder if there is a kid at school that likes to eat their poop or something, because Makayla is very passionate about not eating her poop!

Nice weather and funny clothes

It has really been a nice week. Unfortunately nice weeks in March usually means that we have some severe weather here in Arkansas. At least this week was uneventful for us. Unlike the weather we had a couple of years ago. If you don't remember the tornado click here.

Since it has been so nice we were able to play outside a lot last weekend. Makayla played ball and played on the swingset. She had so much fun. I pushed her on the swing for what seemed like forever. It turns out that it felt like a really long time because it was a really long time. When we finally went back inside the house I looked at the clock and had been pushing her on the swing for 2 hours. I didn't know that was possible, but apparently that girl likes to swing.

Take note of this very silly outfit that she is wearing in this picture. Nathan dressed her. She is wearing denim shorts, a shirt that my brother got her in Florida, her polka dot jacket (this was my only addition), socks that are way too big and go all the way up to her knees, and her crocs from last summer that are 2 sized too small. All that matters is that she has clothes on when she is outside right?

Playroom fun

We have been so happy with our new playroom that we added onto our house! It has been so great to be able to isolate the mess to just one area.

It gets messy and dirty sometimes. When that happens we have to clean it!Sometimes Makayla tries to recruit help.

Busy Work

Ok. Makayla was out of school for 4 days for snow. Add that to the weekend, and you get 6 days of being stuck in the house. As I said in a previous post this week we were not prepared. We had plenty of food (well other than Makayla's milk which Nathan ventured out to get), but we were not prepared for the boredom that we would encounter with our little toddler.
She looks very satisfied in these pictures. Doesn't she? She wasn't the rest of the time! I do believe that this girl was having cabin fever much worse than either of the adults in the house.

After about 2 days of missing school things started getting pretty ugly. I was really regretting not buying the finger paints to replace the ones that she had already used. I finally remembered that I had scrapbooking supplies that don't have to be for just me! The stamps were a lifesaver. She had a blast stamping! She also loved that the ink was pink!

Week 12

I had my second prenatal appointment yesterday. I am 12 weeks along now, so that means that the baby is big enough for his or her heartbeat to be heard on the doppler. I was suprised at how loud the heartbeat was this time. I'm sure that my doctor just had the volume turned up loud, but it was louder than I remember makayla's being. It could also have just been the position of the baby. Who knows? All I know is that this pregnancy has been much different. It has been way easier! Much less morning sickness and fatigue. Everything is just so exciting. I think that my perspective is also different this time since I have been pregnant before.

I go back to the doctor in 5 weeks for the BIG ultrasound. We only have 5 weeks before we find out if Makayla will have a brother or a sister!
