Just Like Daddy

Camryn wanted to be just like her daddy today. It was pretty cute how into it she was. She kept looking up at Paul to make sure she was doing it right. She actually sat there and watched for quite a long time too!

Camryn also had a run in with the fireplace today. Her poor little eye!

Once again loving the chair.

Update: When Camryn went for her nap she did not want to let go of the controller AT ALL. So I gave in and let her take it to bed with her. After she fell asleep I snuck into her room and took a picture with the camera on my cell phone. It would seem that she didn't want to give it up even in sleep.

New Favorite Chairs

The last couple of weeks, I've been watching little Ella for Lindsay Stark. So I thought it would be a great idea to bring out Camryn's baby chairs for Ella to sit in. Well, Camryn thought that this was a great idea too! They are now her favorite chairs to sit in! The first two pictures of Camryn relaxing with an apple slice and watching some TV. I did not set her up like this. I think she really just enjoys sitting in the chair. It is pretty funny to watch.Also note Camryn's super nice outfit. A onesie and slippers.

The next two pictures are just Camryn being silly playing in the little swing chair. She even gets me to turn on the lights and music for her. Who knew these chairs would be just as entertaining the second time around.

Baby BOY!!!

So here are some of the ultrasound pictures that we got! We are very excited to share them! We are also happy to say that everything looked really great on the ultrasound and we are happy to be having a wonderful baby boy! Now we are just onto the hard part... picking names! Here you can see his little hand, arm, and knee.
I thought this was a great one to see his whole body pretty much!

I love this one as you can see his profile, but also, he was resting his hand under his chin.

And lastly, the picture to prove he is in fact a boy!

Long Time No Post

Well...it has been a while. I know! I've just been super busy! Since my last post I feel like a lot has gone on, but now that I try to recall what exactly we've been up to... I can't remember. (I'm blaming it on pregnancy) We went to the fair, we went out to Ohio for Paul's 10 year reunion, Paul has been doing major work on the basement, and since September 1st I've been done nannying. I know there is other stuff, but I just can't remember. We also have some exciting things coming up! Tomorrow we get to find out what we are having at our ultrasound appointment, so we are super excited about that!!! And Paul is getting ready to start a new job! We are thrilled with all the change that is going on and are ready to take on the next adventure!

On a side note, Camryn and I had a great time at Super Target this morning. Camryn was very pleased that I would let her have a snack in the cart! She was so cute holding it on her own and taking a puff out one at a time.

But... after about 15 minutes of her being so good and cute, Camryn waited till I turned around and then dumped the entire container out in her lap and all over the middle of the aisle. It was a great moment. Needless to say, I was a little bit embarrassed. Oh the joys of a one year old. You can't help but love them!

Minnesota Beach

So the other day Camryn and I and couple of our friends all decided to go to the beach! Well, as close to a beach as you can get in Minnesota I guess. There are lakes EVERYWHERE. (That is why they call it the land of 10,000 lakes.) But as much fun as playing on the lake is, you don't really want to wade along the shore. To much seaweed and green guck. So that is why I'm assuming someone came up with the idea to make a man-made pond with chlorinated/filtered water and complete it with sand! I much appreciate the genius behind this idea! We had SO MUCH FUN!!! Camryn had a blast splashing and wading in the water. At first she didn't like the sand on her feet, but before you knew it she was sitting and playing in it. What a great time we had!
Camryn was pretty brave and went right out exploring in the water all the way up to her chest! (please excuse the blinding white legs in the picture!)

It was a lot of fun to see the kids together. Quinn on the left is 8 months( I think...am I right Erin?) Camryn just about 13 months, and Will (the lone boy in this age bracket at our ward) is 10 months. I think it is funny because they are all pretty much the same size!

I was feeding all these little birdies crackers so they would sit still for pictures.

We had such a great time and we will definitely be going back many times! Thanks to Lisa for coming up with the great idea! It was great to hang out Erin and Lisa! Lets do it again soon!

TWILIGHT PARTY!!!

So I know I'm a little behind on posting about this, so I apologize. But my friend Erin and I put on a Twilight party last week just before Breaking Dawn came out. Some people might think we are a little crazy or obsessed, but I don't care. We had a blast! We had everyone dress in black and/or red and we played games, ate tasty food, and laughed a lot! Erin has a better entry of the party on her blog (she has pictures too!) So you need to go and check it out on her blog!

If you want to have a fun night with the girls, I would highly recommend a Twilight party!

Erin thanks for being a great party planning partner! You did an amazing job!

Couple Things On My Mind...

So here I am....waiting. I have been DYING to finally get to finish the Twilight series and the final book comes out today as many of you know. I preordered my copy and I picked release date delivery. So here I am, waiting, and it is all I can think about today!

I know that everyone wanted me to make an official post about me being pregnant! So here is it! I'm 13 weeks and due on February 7th! Also, I have been more sick this time around (still no throwing up though!) But I think I am pretty much done with the sick part. Thank goodness! Also, Camryn and this baby will be pretty close, they will be about 19 months apart. I think that will be tricky at first, but in the long run, I think they will be great little buddies. Anyways, that is everything I think of. Paul and I are super excited!!!
And because I CARE about Doctor Who, I want to say that last nights series finale was intense, hilarious, incredibly sad, and WONDERFUL all at the same time. It was amazing! I'm sad that there won't be any new episodes for a while, but that is ok because I can just watch the old ones forever!
Pretty intense!!! I love the Doctor!
