Fun with Family & Friends

Last week we had a few warmer days, so Kieryn enjoyed feeding her birds. She was having so much fun making her piles.

Grandpop & Grandpa time! She's showing them how to use an iphone. Grandpop was visiting from Maryland over the weekend.

On Saturday we got to spend the day in Auburn and Topeka. It was great for Kieryn to spend that time playing with Grandpop!

Her favorite part was seeing, petting, and RIDING the horse and donkey!

We even had time to visit the play place at the Kansas History Museum. Kieryn loved the train! She and her cousin Chase would get along GREAT right now! She just started saying "cho cho" when she sees or hears a train.

 We celebrated Great Grandmom's 80th birthday at the Blind Tiger on Saturday night. Kieryn and Haley had the giggles most of the time we were there!

Before we headed back to Manhattan, Kieryn had to show off her KSU pjs in honor of the Wildcat's victory over Iowa State!

 Last Wednesday we had our sonogram for baby #2. We got a clean bill of health and found out that it's a..... BOY! He was very active during the sonogram and we've been feeling more regular movement/kicks each day!

We shared our news with family and friends over the weekend with some Hershey bars...seemed appropriate since we'll be moving there shortly after baby #2 is born.

 

 

Everyone was surprised and excited. We are very happy that baby #2 is healthy and active... can't wait to meet him on June 22nd! Hopefully I'll hopefully be posting sonogram pictures soon... I can't get our scanner to work at the moment, so keep fingers crossed for the next post to have a few!

Crazy Kansas Weather

Last Monday the weather was sunny and about 60 degrees.... and the following day it snowed and didn't get above 20 degrees until the end of the week. We tried to take advantage of the "warm" Monday as much as possible! We did bubbles, played in the water, and Daddy even got to come home early to play with us outside. He and Kieryn had a great time washing the Kia!

 

Afterwards, they went for a bike ride. This is something we'll be doing more when the weather is consistently warm. Kieryn loves it!

Yesterday, Sunday, my friend Kala and I put on a baby shower for our friend Carrie. The theme was "Oh baby it's cold outside," and BOY was it cute!

Kieryn and Daddy got to help with some set-up too. They even enjoyed a doughnut and some piano playing!

Bump buddies for about 2 more months! We are anxious to meet little Lane and our well wishes go out to Carrie & Ryan as they welcome their little man into the world!

Busy Busy!

Kieryn just got a new step stool so she can help Mommy in the kitchen! She loved being able to stir the Sunday pancakes all by herself.

She really likes helping as she helped Mommy take her 19 week belly pictures...

On Friday night we went to open gym and the local gymnastics place. She loved it and Daddy had fun watching her jump on the trampolines! It was a great place for her to burn some energy and work on taking turns!

Last week we did some painting.

She really enjoyed it and liked using her fingers too.

Helpful Kieryn likes to make sure my clients are getting a good stretch after their workout. Here she's demonstrating how to do the stretch... luckily my clients find it hilarious that she wants to workout with them!

Resting with Daddy and listening to some music after a long day...

Dress-up Time!

Kieryn loves pretend play!

Kieryn has a lot of fun wearing her funky hats around the house. On this day, she brought one for me to wear too.

 She also has fun playing with her dishes and kitchen. She likes to set the table and pretend to have a big kid meal.

She likes her pretend purses too...

And talking on the phone...

On Saturday she helped Jaden celebrate his 2nd birthday. She had so much fun playing with both Jaden and Tava.

I think her favorite part of the party was the giant Mickey Mouse! She gave him lots of hugs and kisses.

The three kids were glued to the TV when we turned on an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse...

It was great to see them all. The kids played so well together!

Fun Weekend!

Kieryn had a fun weekend as we traveled to Seneca to visit the Grandparents and friends. She got to meet the new addition to the Williams family, baby Rowan, as well as play baby with Rowan's big sister Wrigly. It was so nice to see and catch up with Carissa and Kelly. They have a beautiful new home and growing family!

Later that day, Kieryn go to play at the Talley's new house. They've built a wonderful home! Kieryn especially loved all the space to run and jump! She, Bronx, and Lakyn had a lot of fun together. It made for a busy day, but it was a worth while trip to see and catch up with Ross and Sheila too.  

Kieryn's favorite thing to do right now is HANG. She tries to hang on everything. This is her favorite though. We really think gymnastics are in her future!

Baby Copp #2 is 17 weeks and growing. I've got quite the baby bump and I feel BIG already. It's the truth... you show WAY faster with baby #2! We have a doctor's apt this Wednesday to hear the heartbeat again. We look forward to every appointment! 

To prove my point... here's week 17 with Kieryn. I'm barely showing compared to now!

Until next time...

Snow Days

Last week it was cold and snowy... so we had fun both indoors and out!

Kieryn loved her snow day with Daddy. He pulled her up and down the block in her sled. 

We had fun with (mess free) paints this week. Kieryn liked mixing the colors and I liked it because there was little to no clean up!

BUT, her favorite indoor activity at the moment is playing in her new kitchen. It was her Christmas present from Grandmom & Grandpop Copp. You'll notice she's wearing her KSU pjs... most mornings I can't get her to change out of them. She gets mad at me for taking off her Wildcats. So I let her wear them until we need to change to go somewhere...THAT'S OUR GIRL - GO STATE! 

Until next time!
