We FINALLY moved Ryan to a BIG BOY BED about 2 weeks ago!
His room has a bed and a dresser right now and that's about it, HA Once I get a few pictures on the walls and some bookshelves, it will be perfect.
( I will do a full post of his room once we get it all finished. )
Ry LOVES his room so much.
He gets so proud when people come over and he gets to show them his "big boy room".

These pictures scream "childhood" to me.
I love capturing little moments that make me hear his laugh through the pictures.
Let them be little.
Please don't ever grow up my sweet sweet baby boy!

Father's Day celebrating our favorite person.
Aaron is what makes our world go round.
He is everything to me and it is clear that Ry IDEALIZES his daddy.
They are the sweetest duo ever and we ( Ry, Baby, and I ) are the luckiest to have him forever.

The hardest part of Father's Day was not being able to give my own daddy a hug!
Living far away from my family is no fun on holidays!
I'm a daddy's girl through and through and I'm so grateful for these hardworking men in my life!! ( my dad, my husband, and my Father-in-Law )
They deserve to be spoiled and celebrated!


Please note one of Ryan's signs for his daddy.
His stick figures!? KILL ME.
I told him my favorite part was the hair on the guy on the right.  It looks like a rocker dude.



2 things.

#1. I cut like 2-3 inches off Ry's hair this weekend!!  ^^ It was SOO long and ready for a little trim but somehow he just looks so old to me now!?

#2. Ryan and his shark / whale obsession is getting out of hand.
My mother-in-law kept Aaron's sharks and whales from when Aaron was little and Ryan is obsessed!
Like Father, like son.

Today Ryan told me he wanted a Goblin Shark for his birthday?
Yes a Goblin shark ( did you even know those existed? Me neither until his shark book came into our life )
So if anyone knows where to find a toy Goblin Shark, please send me suggestions HA

I wasn't kidding when I said Ryan knew all the different types of sharks -
Ryan has a book that he has spent HOURS with my husband reading that tells you about every kind of shark, and what they eat, do, etc.
( If my husband wasn't a lawyer, I'm convinced he would have been a marine biologist HA the obsession must be genetic )


Pool lovin with my little tan islander.


Ry goes to work with daddy while I go to my doctor appointment and hear our sweet baby's heartbeat!
( Ryan is holding his Great White Shark (( it's not just a "shark" it's a "GREAT WHITE SHARK", he will correct you, ))  and he's doing puzzles on the i-pad HA )
My father-in-law payed Ryan a few bucks for coming into the office for an hour and Ryan thought he was one cool dude adding to his piggy bank.

Aaron and his dad just moved law offices to a different building, and I have yet to come in and "Karina-ify" his new office HA.
It is in DEEP need of a lady's decor touch and a few things hung on walls HA

( 26 weeks TOMORROW!!  ^^ )
(( top is from Pea in the Pod not available anymore but they have cute other maternity clothes! ))

That sweet sound of my baby's heartbeat will NEVER get old.
Even though my tummy is bouncing up and down 90 percent of the day because this baby MOVES like CRAZY!,  I somehow still get so nervous going to my appointments.
My doctor tells me it's completely normal to be nervous, just because of past experience and the awful, terrible, horrible dream that not finding a heartbeat could ever happen again.

But gosh, I NEVER EVER take that strong heartbeat for granted.
These babies are so precious and such blessings!
This baby is so loved and wanted!


Added a few miniature clothes to my wash day this week.
How come everything is so cute in miniature form!?
Also… I have never felt so surrounded by boy clothes in my life HA.

Bring on the blue, baby.
14 more weeks!!

I have teamed up with one of my dearest friends from Sweet Sunlight Style to bring you a beyond DARLING giveaway!

I met Chelsea shortly after moving to Houston 4 years ago and we have stayed close girlfriends ever since. She's the cutest thing and I love her to death.


Today we have a fun giveaway put together for y'all!
Side Tangent - ( ya I know, it's been 4 years that I have lived here in Houston, and yes, I say "y'all" - HA I tried not to say it for so long but having a husband that has always said it since I met him, and in-laws that I'm around quite a bit with thick southern accents, not to mention everybody you meet says it here, It just comes out now. - My child already says it at 2 years old so just roll with it :)


I ordered THIS black floral dress about a month ago and I LOVE it!
Chels is wearing their Mint green skirt ( that I would love to wear NOT pregnant - their skirts are so darling! )
Obviously my dress is not Maternity and my 25 week bump is pushin it's limits. HA
I probably won't wear this dress any more pregnant but I am going to be so excited for next summer to wear it out like crazy!
It's SO comfortable! I would order something again from their website in a heart beat!

How Far!? - 24 weeks

We have been sick for almost 3 weeks total. It's been so awful!
Pregnancy and sickness don't mesh AT ALL.
My husband got it first ( he's to blame ), then naturally ONE WEEK later - I got it…
Aaron and I are terrible! We share EVERYTHING ( food, drinks, etc. ) and trying to stay away from his germs is impossible HA so I knew I was bound to get it.

I completely lost my voice and couldn't talk for 3 days
( I don't think that has ever happened before in my life ) - and if you know me personally, you would understand why not being able to talk for 3 days made me cry everyday because I love talking so much.
I had to mouth everything I wanted to say to Aaron, he was the only one that could understand me so he was my spokesman HA

Just when we thought Ryan was the warrior and missed it altogether… BAM.
One week later Ryan is sick.
So we all took our "week" of sickness.
I guess it's better we didn't all get it at one time??!

HA Anyways, HALLELUJAH!!
Here's to healthy bodies and kicking the aches, fevers, chills, and soar throats to the curb.



Ryan's happy place ^^

So apparently my husband has this hidden unknown talent of making play-doh into anything Ryan tells him to.


Exhibit A ^^ A Hammer head shark.
Seriously!? How can you do this without looking at a picture and just know where every fin goes? You are killing me Aaron.

So Ryan and I are playing play-doh the other morning and Ryan's like, "Mommy make me a hammer head shark please?"
( yes he is OBSESSED with sharks and knows what all of the different sharks are called )
Awesome.
No child, unfortunately I'm not that cool, but I will make you a cookie out of play-doh.
