I do this begrudingly....

That's it. I must end the harassment. I'll blog already.

Sooooo, news in the Sheldon household...

First and most importantly, I am in a family way!!! Can you tell I've been watching Little House on the Prairie?

This little chunky bundle of lovey love will be joining our family in mid October and we can't wait. I've been feeling pretty good so far, with a couple of days of pure misery from being sick, but at least I'm not nonstop sick 24/7 like I was with Kara so I'm counting this as a win. We're excited to have 2 little kids filling our house with poopy diapers, milk milk and more milk, and more love than these walls can contain.

We moved to a neighboring city in WA in Jan because Dean landed himself a nice job working with 2 other chiros. He likes his job. I like our new place. Win win. But the best part is that Kara actually has room to run around and plenty of places to hide her toys in nooks and crannys for me to randomly find them. Mr. Potato Head may never have a full face again because I can't find all the parts thanks to a 13 month old little miss.

We still aren't completely unpacked and we've been here a month already. For shame. I can't believe how much stuff we have, and we still need to buy a bookcase or two for Dean's billions of books and we need an entertainment center that is bigger than a breadbox. Point being, I used to not mind unpacking but then I realized that was when we had no belongings. Now, I'd rather rip off my own toe nails one by one than open one more box to see what lies inside.

We had a fun and busy busy busy Christmas season. Lots of family funtivities. Kara loved having everyone over and she was a bit disappointed when it was just she and I during the day after everyone left.

Kara turned 1 on New Year's Eve and decided to make it extra memorable by taking her first steps that night also. Now she's a walking machine but still falls down pretty regularly. She says mama, dada, ball (sounds like bahh), baba, num num, bye, every animal sound you can imagine, and today she said lell low (yellow). She's pretty much a baby genius.

Now you're caught up, and I have another 6 months before I have to blog again.

My baby, my heart...

Ooohhhh, a paci!!!!

Dance dance dance, dance in my diapie pants!!!


My little roaring lioness!

Hey Mommy. I remember bring upsidedown like this for 9 months in your tummy!

Stop tickling me Mommy! Ok, don't stop. More!!

Here comes the bee!!! Buuzzzzzzzz....

Sweet snuggle bug. She is my heart.

Mmmmm, so warm and snuggly.

Be still my beating heart. I want to eat her up.

Kara loves to snuggle with her Mommy under her robe.

Monstro-baby!!!!

Daddy, I'll attack you!!!!

Kara's new trick. She thinks it's hilarious to look through her legs. She's right, it is.

Big baby buns.

King baby of the mountain!!!! I'll take you down Daddy!

I LOVE KARA!!!! I was born to be her mother.

Daylin, I'd better show you how to upgrade Master Chief on Halo. I'll take that controller, thank you very much.

You spend how much on diapie's for me per month? Wow, I guess I'd better start pulling my weight around here.

Sweet little Kara, you more than pull your weight around here with giving us kisses and random screechings all the time. That's all the payment we need.

I love you Auntie Makenna.

Someone, who shall remain nameless, (*cough* Oma *cough*) gave Kara her first taste of cotton candy last Saturday.

Look at my sweet little butterfly that was airbrushed onto my cheek.

Beyonce's got nothin' on Kara...

No, really, I think my heart is going to explode from how much I love my daughter.

My little Miss Kara Faith has just discovered dancing, and she looooooves to get her groove on. So much, in fact, that she falls over from shakin' her money maker too much...

Laughing little lady...

Holy moly, the sound of Kara laughing nonstop makes my heart throw up love for her everywhere. Even though it sounds like I'm puking in the video, I promise I'm not. I'm making a ugly/scary face at her and the sounds to go along with it and apparently it was the funniest thng she's ever seen in her whole life.

5 more for ya...

Jaba the Baby. She's the biggest chunk that's ever chunked.

She likes to think her paci is an extension of her mouth.

Must....inspect....paci.

Yup. Passes inspection. Commence sucking.

GIVE ME MY PACI BACK!!!!!

The many faces of Kara...

My little Miss Buns loves to make all kinds of faces.

Some of my personal favorites are...

Kara sings her little buns off.

Is it stinky in here? Oh wait, it's my diaper.

Mmmmm, I think I'll have some milk chocolate covered goodness, Mommy. Now crack this box open for me before I scream so loud the whole country will hear.

Ch-ch-ch-changes...

Look who graduated to a big girl carseat today.... SHE LOVES IT!!!
