"Helping" Mommy Redecorate


Today Mommy is starting the task of making my room into a room suitable for both Ethan and I. We are taking down the beautiful butterfly wallpaper border (which almost made Mommy cry) , cleaning the walls and baseboards, and taping off the baseboards. Hopefully by the end of the week we'll have the pink and teal stripes painted over with blue and green. I kept stealing the sponge, so Mommy gave me my own. And if you're wondering why I'm sitting naked on a towel, it's because I was running around all excited and I spilled the bowl of soapy water all over me and the carpet by the door. Mommy was thrilled. Home improvement is fun stuff, I tell you!

Happy New Year!


Mommy and Daddy let me stay up VERY late last night (10 pm!) at the Allens' house last night... and I had a blast playing with all of the big girls. Happy 2010! Here's me in my party dress. (Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!)

6 Month Preggie Comparison Shots


Ethan


Katie

We think Ethan's bump looks more basketball-ish than Katie's did. And even though my family thinks I look smaller this time, I think I look bigger. I wonder how much he'll weigh. Maybe I'll start a pool...

Pow-Pow-Power Wheels (Anyone else remember those comercials?)


Well, Pumpkin Wumpkin FINALLY finished opening her last gift on Sunday night. We had been trying to clear out boxes and rotate out some of the toys that don't get a lot of play before we opened this big gift from Grandma and Grandpa. She has got to be the most spoiled child I know. I guess that goes with the territory of being the first and only (at least until March) grandchild on both sides. I think it's hilarious that after all the times we tried to get her to rip the paper on Christmas day, she finally dug in and unwrapped a present.


Just making sure there's no other pieces in here...


A little live footage of the little one enjoying her gift. Sorry the picture is so shaky, it's hard to film while dodging landmines, baby castles, and random toys... all while laughing.

Christmas Morning!



Christmas morning we all woke up and had a quick breakfast. (We figured the days of waking up at the leisurely hour of 7 am on Christmas morning are numbered, so let's take advantage of it now. Plus, we thought we'd get some good pics with a happy, full-bellied little Wumpkin.) Here's a video of what Santa brought Katie.


Well, we had a little trouble getting Katie to open other gifts because she just wanted to be on the Climb & Slide Castle. It was all a bit overwhelming for her. So many presents, so little time.

Mommy and Daddy ended up opening most of Katie's gifts and handing them to her on the castle. At one point we took a break and put her down for a nap, feed her lunch, then started in on round two. We tried to get pictures of her with gifts from all relatives near and far, but it just didn't happen (sorry!) Here's some highlights...

Checkin' out all of my stocking stuffers.

Playing with my new Mega Blocks.

Putting my new ornament on the tree. (It's the one by my hand that looks like a snow globe and it has my name on it!)

Reading books from Great Grandma Sundal.

Whoo... taking a break!

Cleaning up a little with my new vacuum, Dusty.

Pushing my dollies around in their new play yard.

Rockin' out on my new puppy toy while playing my new guitar. Thanks Great Grandma Worrall and Grandma Sundal.

A purse, camera, book, and shoes, ... oh my!



Taking a break to do a little dancing.

This table and chairs set is the best! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Berry!


More Fun with Shoes on Christmas Eve


Okay, so I know we already have footage of Katie wearing Mommy's shoes around, but I jut love how adorable she is and coordinated she is getting. It's a bit repetitive, but it's just too cute not to post this one.

Christmas Eve


We had a good time playing and visiting with Grandpa Sundal for dinner. He gave me some special books that I just LOVE! Too bad we didn't get any pics of us reading them... Here I am playing with this super cute belt on one of my gifts from Auntie L and Uncle D. Aren't I stylish?!
