The conversion continues

The conversion of our home office to a playroom continues.  Over the weekend, I got one set of drawers/shelves and the closet cleaned out.  I moved a large shelf out of the room (well I cleaned it out and Clayton moved it when he got home bc preggers belly doesn't need to move that).  So, it continues.  Still have a desk to empty and move out, then it'll be ready for some fufu female playroom decor.  So far, it's working out well.  Kimber loves to play in there with her toys, and soon we'll mount a TV on the wall, and we'll be set to go.  Fun stuff.  And my living room seems human again.  Almost empty.  But human.  And, I kind of like it. 


Here's Kimber in her new will-be playroom. 
 
I think I might have mentioned that Kimber got a pink cozy coupe for her birthday.  It's still in the living room, by the way, not the playroom.  But, she loves it.  Here's a video.  Hilarious.  This girl seriously has personality oozing out of every pore.  Oh, and yes, that's what my living room USED to look like before the "playroom" conversion began.  See why I like it?
 

 

Mickey is her favorite cozy coupe passenger.  She also sometimes brings along her baby, a strawberry shortcake tea cup, a plastic plate, a spatula, or of course, her cell phone.
 
Football season continues as well.  The first home game was last Friday.  Although I didn't get a picture of Kimber at the game (slightly difficult with world's busiest one year old who has apparently 18 hands, and a diaper bag and a pregnant mom), she had a great time and did great.  We made it through halftime, which was really all I was hoping for.  She enjoyed climbing the bleachers and eating bites of pickle from the concession stand.  She loves pickles.  Too funny.  She also tried to eat dirt, old popcorn, and anything else on the ground in the stands.  But, she did so much better than I could have hoped for, and I was super grateful.  Here's our family picture from the football program. 
 

 
I am the pregnant lady in the program picture....again.  But, way less pregnant than last year at this time, AND the baby in the picture proves that I did have the original kid.  I'm just pregnant....AGAIN.  haha  By the way, whose child is that in the picture?  She looks so grown up!  And light headed....and BIG.  Crazy.  Anyway, it turned out much better than I thought.  My hair is all messed up because she was playing in it, but hey, you get what you can.  She wasn't screaming, so it's a plus, right? 
 
Not much else to report.  We have another home game this week, so Kimber will get to go again.  This time, she gets to go out on the field with her daddy because he's getting inducted into the Angleton Athletic Hall of Fame.  Very cool.  So proud of him and all that he's accomplished, and of the fact that he's an amazing teacher and coach at the very high school we graduated from. 
 
If you go to my facebook page, you can see some of the amazing pictures that Lindsey at Lindsey McAlpine Photography got at Kimber's one year photo shoot.  I don't know how she got so many good ones, because, as I detailed in an earlier post, it was not all roses.  But, she did amazing and the pictures are so good.  This one takes the cake because it pretty well sums up her mood the day of the shoot.
 




 
Seriously though, the pictures are awesome.  Go check out my facebook.  :)  Hope everyone is having a great week!!
 
I almost forgot - yesterday was Kimber's one year checkup.  She weighed 21 pounds 3 ounces and is 30 inches tall.  She's grown a little over 4 inches in the past six months.  She's really getting tall now.  She had to get four shots so this morning was rough, but other than that, all is well.  She's still true to size in clothes, wearing a 12 month.  She's a size 3 in shoes, but good luck getting them on her feet.  Her pink crocs, size 4/5, are the only shoes she will wear.  I don't really mind as long as there's something she will wear, plus those can be cleaned in the sink at night.  She wears a size 3 in diapers, and has again remembered she hates laying still long enough for me to change her diaper, so that's always a fun battle.  A healthy growing little girl!
