Thanksgiving Weekend

Well, this weekend did not turn out to be the fun, family weekend I had hoped it would be. Kaelyn has woken up each night for the past 4 nights at around 2 am and been up until 5 am. This has made for lots of bad moods and overtiredness around here. Up until last week she was sleeping for 12 hours straight. What's the deal?! I think she's teething or something. Whatever it is, I hope it ends soon. But, she's still cute - so she's got that going for her. Here are some of the latest pictures. Also, we redid our downstairs bathroom a couple of weeks ago & it looks so much better now. We ripped up some hideous blue stick down vinyl tiles & put down 2" square tiles that we thought would look age appropriate to the house. We also painted.

Here is our bathroom once we pulled up the stick-down tiles. Pretty gross. There was real tile underneath the vinyl ones.

Here's what it looks like now. We painted the walls too. They were just white before.

She can practically fold in half!

In her Thanksgiving PJ's. I cheated and took this the day after turkey day because she was pouty all Thanksgiving day - not many photo ops.

Dishing up Kaelyn's first Thanksgiving dinner. She didn't like much of it, and this was one of the few smiles we got from her all day - she's teething and wasn't very happy that day.

Crazy girl videos

Ok, let me first explain these videos before you think they we are all just a bunch of crazy people (well, we are a LITTLE crazy, I'll admit). We took the first video tonight...Kaelyn and Barry got into this like 20 minute scream fest where they just kept laughing and screaming at eachother, and the longer they did it, it just got funnier and funnier and more out of control. Plus, it's just fun to get her wound up - even though it was right before her bedtime (not usually a good idea), but it seemed to wear her out and she actually fell right asleep. My favorite part is the clenched fists every time she gets super excited. 2nd video is Barry spinning her around and trying to show her "crazy eyes" while she was spinning. He did this spinning thing with her a few times, and at the end she would always just put her head very gently on Barry's chest (probably because she was going to be sick), but it was very cute.
