Fun "new" items

We took kailah to the pumpkin patch last weekend. We enjoyed looking at the animals while Jason made animal noises. Kailah would just stare at Jasons mouth when he was making the noises and then she would look back at the animals. It was fun to see her actually notice that there were animals running around. She hasn't really noticed before.
While changing diapers I always put my hand on kais belly to hold the diaper and kailah thinks it's a game so she gets real excited and grabs my arm with both hands and pulls it into her. She's so funny!
Also when sitting on the ground I will put toys in front of her and she will look at them for a second and then quickly lean forward with a huff to grab them! I don't know why she's in such a hurry to grab them but she's quick! We have to be careful what is put in front of her cause she grabs everything!Look how long she is. sometimes I don't notice but then there are days like today where I just had to take a picture cause she is really LONG!(the pillow is for comparison)Kailah has been loving this app on my phone called little Bella. It is such a cute interactive book. For those of you with iPhones this is a must for little kids. So cute!
At swimming lessons this week Kai is now kicking a lot and reaching a lot in the water. She really knows it's swimming time when we get there. She now will sit on the edge of the pool and jump into me and she has gone under the water successfully several times now. Despite dadda having dreams of me drowning her. Silly dadda!
Last weekend we also went out to a celebratory dinner with our friends Danny and Elaina. Elaina had reached her goal with her diet so what better way to celebrate than to go out, and pig out! :) kailah is now sitting in the restaurant highchairs. She looks so cute and little in those chairs but she enjoyed not having to be in her stroller.
Ok, now on to the fun "new" items. As you might know, I LOVE garage sales and thrift stores and flee markets, any way to find a good deal! This last weekend we went garage sale hopping and found this great find:
Which we turned into these great nightstands:
And at the thrift store I finally found:
Which is now my longed for :


Oh and to make our home feel a little greener:
The pot was $1 at a garage sale, couldn't pass that up! And I got to do a little planting so I was all for that! I miss having a
Little garden to take care of.

  1. I love reading your blog. I just want to reach into Kailahs pictures and squeeze her! Im excited that you finally found a frame. I cant wait to see it when it is finished. And you did a terrific job in the night stand. It looks professionally done. I'll bet it was a fun project for you and Jason to work on together. And the plant! It completes the patio!!!
