UltraSound Today

Well as of this very moment I can't get my ultrasound pictures to upload. And frankly I don't have the patience to try to figure it out. I asked KSov and he blamed it on the website which I think is highly probable.

So I will simply tell you that the baby is good. And everything seems to be in working order. Oh wait??? What I forgot to tell you was if I found out the sex or not. Well I did and I was going to show you the pictures but they aren't uploading so I will have to do it tomorrow night. I am really tired and this computer is frustrating me. "What?" I am sorry you want me to just tell you the sex is??? Ok I guess I can do that. Alrighty Alrighty enough with the suspense already! Well daddy was right and we are having a boy! I wish I could get these pics to upload. I don't know what the deal is and I hope KSov can figure it out. There is one pic of the profile that is hilarious, KSov and I both were like that is a Thompson nose! HA!
Ok well I tried a last ditch effort and can't figure it out, so till then you will have to be happy with the good news!

Play Time

So we got out our Play Dough for the second time. This was good because we are coming to believe we have a Tazmanian Devil on our hands and play dough time was quiet.

So one of the videos is of her concentrating on her play dough. And the other is her playing catch with a ball. I wish we could have gotten the catch video sooner. The first time around mommy was "catching" and daddy was throwing and she kept making this surprised "wow" face. She does it a couple of times in the video, but she was doing it everytime at first and it was so hilarious.

So Mommy and Daddy were talking about time outs tonight and so far both of us have tried 2 different approaches. We decided we need to research and figure out what is going to work with Grace. And what we can both agree on so we are consistent. She is EVERYWHERE these days and she specifically tests us everytime. We will tell her no, and she will look at us and smile a big smile and keep on doing it! The only way she will stop is if you get up and phyiscally remove her from the situation. Daddy will use his big voice and she laughs. Mommy holds her hands, gets down on her level and tells her, "No, Mommy said, not to do that," and she laughs. Daddy has tried a 30 second time out version where he makes her sit with him for 30 seconds when she disobeys. Mommy has tried putting her on timeout away from the bad thing she was doing. Then I have to keep picking her up and putting her back. Either way she doesn't realize that she is being disipline, and sometimes its a game.

So any suggestions for us, or books to read? She is quite her own little person and stubborn. Very silly and sweet but also very much into testing every single situation! If we are coming your way soon...be prepared......!!!!

Tomorrow is our ultrasound. I think I am going to find out the sex this time. I am pretty sure of it..just not 100% yet. But the appointment is at 4pm so I will let everyone know and try to scan some pics tomorrow night. Well actually Daddy will.

Some Bath Time Pics

Just thought I would give you some updated cutie pie pics.

This is one of my favorites because she kept dropping the plastic silverware that I let her play with in the bath. I would exclaime and she would make this surprised look.

Its only Wednesday but it feels like it should be Friday. I am tired and need to be off to bed. Hope your week is going well.

Kayla's new obession...

So Kayla our beloved first fur-baby soon to be six years old, (thats human years) has a new obession she started last spring, and I had hoped it would not return. Unfortunately it not only returned but has heightened levels of obession. Every morning when I let the dogs out, Kayla knows that the sun is shining and...yes that the birds are singing, and bounds out the back door (never mind mommy's bare feet) to chase the birds. She will spend all day outside chasing the birds or chasing their shadows. It really doesn't matter which. You would think that, that much energy being spent on a single task in the hot sun would wear a dog out. And to a degree it does. Like right now its just a bit past 930pm and she is sleeping quietly with her head on the cool bathroom tile. But it seems like that energy does not die out till at least after Grace has gone to bed.

So because she really loves the birds, she looks like a starving coyote, despite the fact that she gets special high protein high energy dog food. And Briggs gets his diet, low calorie dog food, he is looking a little bit on the chubby side. After all you can't expect Briggs to chase Kayla all day now could you? Not likely.

So I tried to catch a video of Kayla actually chasing some birds..because honestly she does it all the time, but I didn't get any on camera chasing. But! You can see the intent and the obession. I do love my Kayla dog

Chalk Fun and Summer Pool Time

This was Sunday...we did not take a nap, only about 15-20 minutes in the car. So after an 1 1/2 of whining and crying I changed a poopy diaper and let her play with her chalk outside. You can see her pretty coloring.

Such concentration, and you can see that she would not let the other chalk colors go!

She was so serious and you could see she was tired but she just colored and colored and colored.

Pausing to watch a bird fly by and Kayla chase its shadow.

On Saturday Mommy pulled out the pool rinsed it out and filled it up in the morning. Then I let it sit in the sun and warm up till the afternoon. After her nap we put her bathing suit and sunscreen on and went outside to play.

Daddy took a few pictures of Mommy and the Lil Miss in the water. It wasn't cold at all.

Mommy and her pregnant belly. Almost 18 weeks and halfway thru...

Hope you enjoyed the beautiful weekend like we did!

Daddy's Girl in a dress

This was at dinner tonight and I was asking her to say Hi to Mommy. And she did. Just a cute shot of her hair. Daycare did it. I wish I could take credit. I just don't have the time. But it did look cute with the dress and shoes Daddy dressed her in today.

So here is the full outfit. Its hard to see but those are these cute little pink with white polka dot almost ballet like slippers. Very adorable wih her dress. Mommy was impressed because daddy barely ever does dresses.

She slept till 915 this morning! Good thing Daddy was just doing some paperwork today and didn't have to take calls. He spent some daddy daughter time and they went to breakfast, were she learned how to take the foil tops of the jelly packages. Smart child! Yeah she's mine...

But I think the heat was making her tired because she seemed cranky when I picked her up from daycare although she bounced back to her energetic self quickly after seeing daddy.

So cute! Here's to hoping she sleeps late tomorrow when I can too!

Dragon Horns?

Daddy called them dragon horns but these two ponytails are too cute to be found on a dragon!

I LOVE THIS BABE!

She knows to push the buttons on the radio to get music. So she pushes the buttons and then dances to static! LOL

Daddy made me laugh in the video and then tried to get me! So sorry its a bit jarring.
