Snow Day

Karissa and I went to a friends house to play in the snow. Karissa was definitely the pink snow bunny! She had fun walking up and down the long driveway pulling her sled. We had lots of fun even though we were cold before the kids!

She had to go potty while in the tub so here we are on the potty with our towel on!

She has to sit with her feet up even when they don't reach all that well

Do you like my sprout??

The cutest laundry you will ever find!

Okay so I'm a bad mommy, I know I haven't put pictures on here forever!! So here are a bunch of new ones. Karissa is wonderful and she may be the cutest little girl I have ever seen! She now knows how to say her name which is really cute because it comes out as Kissa. She is so proud of herself too when she says it. Her favorite place to go is Meijers, yes I think Auntie Robin brain washed her. Every time we say we are going by by she says Meijers shoppin and then starts making her list of things that we need...Milk, cookies, bread, cheese and then of course toys!! Baby girl is doing well too, growing! She's an active little thing during the day and thankfully sleeps all night! We are starting to think about finishing the basement so that she can have her own room but I don't think that it will be done before she comes. So that is the latest and greatest on the Lintjer's. Enjoy all the new pictures of the little star of the show!

Merry Christmas / 21 Months

Merry Christmas to everyone, yes I know I'm a day late. Karissa was a ton of fun this year. She opened her presents from Daddy and Mommy on Thursday morning. RJ put them under the tree while she ate breakfast and as soon as she was out of her chair she was opening them! She ripped right in, there was no paper sparing, although all the paper had to come off! Her favorites form us are her mega blocks table and her play tent, house as she calls it. Christmas eve we were off to Grandpa Bob's house were we had dinner and then opened presents. She was surveying the tree the entire time trying to get at all the gifts. She ripped open her presents there too. She loves her play kitchen, slippers, jammies, and blocks. The kitchen is totally awesome and way better than anything that I ever had as a kid. So we had a really good day and daddy had a good day with her yesterday as I was at work.

Karissa is now 21 months old! I can't believe were the time has gone. She is such a big kid now. She is repeating everything that we say and remembering what things are. She talks non stop, although most people don't believe me because she doesn't talk nearly as much when we are not at home and around other people. She is currently learning to go on the potty and has many days that she stays dry all day. She hasn't mastered or attempted to do her pewing on the potty but I'm sure that will come with time. She still wears 24 months- 2t clothes, size 7 shoes, and size 4 diapers. She still takes an afternoon nap for about 2 hours most days. She goes to bed around 9:30 pm and wakes up around 9 am. She is an absolute joy every day and it is so much fun to watch her discover and learn new things.

News...

Well as most of you already know Karissa is going to be a big sister in April! We just found out Friday that we are having another girl! We are very excited to know what she is and that everything is in the right spot and looks good. Karissa doesn't understand that we are having a baby but she loves playing with her baby dolls so I think that she will adjust just fine to a new baby in the house. She is always very concerned about babies that we see that may be crying so I think that she will be a good little mommy. The next few months are going to go to fast seeing we have lots to do. We can't wait to meet our new little girl and see if she looks like Karissa or if she is totally different (RJ is hoping for a blond!). I just thought I would finally make the blog official and break the news.

Being nice to the tree

We got our Christmas tree today!! A day that I have been looking forward to for weeks now! This is the first year that we actually cut our own trees down instead of buying one of the pre-cut trees. This was way more fun, Karissa had so much fun that she slept for about 2.5 hours afterwards! Grandpa Bob, Auntie Robin, Auntie Michelle, Alexis, Brittany, Kacey, and Daddy all went along. We had a trailer full of trees by the time we were done. Ours like normal is too big for the house but we are loving it anyways! Grandpa Bob's is just a short one measuring in at 15 feet tall!! The tree is decorated, and we are now ready for Christmas at the Lintjer's!!
