Letter of the Week-P











Makenzie was happy to practice her coloring, cutting, and pasting skills with this fun "Letter of the Week." I would've never thought to do anything to help her learn her letters, at least not this creatively, had it not been for http://www.notimeforflashcards.com/ I love her posts and try to emulate them with Makenzie often. Obviously I don't always blog about them, but I thought this "P" peacock turned out too cute!

Parker's Room









I intended to show the work in progress of this room, but I know all we really want to see is the final product. So, here it is. We love it. Now all we need is our baby boy.

Easter Weekend



Here is my latest pregnancy pic. In the picture I'm 32 weeks and 5 days pregnant. We had a super busy weekend! My parents delivered the dresser and changing table to us on Friday! Yeah! The dresser looks amazing. It is very masculine and just what we were wanting. I am waiting to find some fabric to attach to the shelves of the changing table before I reassemble it. I can't wait to get his room together enough to post pics of it. It's nothing fancy, but I love it.
On Saturday we went to visit my husband's family and celebrate his great grandmother turning 100 years old! We had a really great visit with them. She is such an amazing woman.

Sunday we had a great church service, went to lunch and shopping, and decorated eggs with Makenzie that evening.
It was a great weekend!

Little Miss Independent


Makenzie is becoming more and more independent every day. One evening this week she carried all of her stuffed animals into her bedroom and played by herself for almost an hour! My husband and I didn't know what to do. She is getting better at dressing and undressing herself. Thankfully she only does this at designated times instead of throughout the day. Just this week she started being able to open the refrigerator by herself. She's very proud when she does it too. Let's just say that last night she opened the refrigerator about six times in a row to check if the hard boiled eggs were cool yet. I'm so proud of her for all of these little milestones. It's also hard for me to see her growing up. I just need to do my best to enjoy her how she is right now.
