Good Friends

It is fantastic having good friends that live close and have kids around the same age as Abby. Our play dates are always so much fun!!!

"Mama"

Abby's official first word is "Mama". I thought that the first time she had said it may have been a fluke... but, I have heard her say the same word at least 5 times since then. She is so cute!! Next I will have to catch it on video for everyone else to hear; then, I won't be the only person that believes it. :)

I watched President Obama's Inaguration speech today and I thought that it was very well written/presented. Today is a very important day in American history.

Army Crawl

This is my first time using our video camera. Every video before this one was taken on my digital camera. I can't believe that she will be crawling soon!!!

Pink Eye

Yesterday, Vincent and Kristin came over to visit. Abby kept trying to hold Vincent's hand which we thought was so cute.





Today Abby woke up with pink eye. Sorry Vincent! I hope that you don't get it. We have been using the eye drops given to us from the doctor... so hopefully she will be better soon.

Abby is so smart!! Below are a few of the things that we have seen just in the last day or so:
- She has begun to army crawl
- She pulls herself up on all fours and sways back and forth.
- She said the word "Mama" at the doctors office (it was different from the mamamama that she says when she is upset.
- She can use a sippy cup by herself (sometimes)
- She slept Tuesday night from 7:30pm to 8:30am (it was a one time thing)

Happy Birthday Megan!!

Today is Megan's tenth birthday. We went to Benihana to celebrate and had a great time. Happy Birthday Megan!!

Look Who's Sitting

Abby has been sitting for the last week. Many more cute pictures to come.

Happy New Year

December 2008 was a wonderful month for us! Here are the highlights:

- On December 17th, Abby turned 6 month old. We went to her six month checkup and here are her current stats:
* Height: 26 3/4 inches (80th percentile)
* Weight: 13 pounds 12 oz (10th percentile)
* Head Circumference: 16 1/4 inches (20th percentile)
We asked the doctor if he was worried about her being so skinny for her tall frame and he said that he thinks that she is just going to be built that way. Lucky girl... she got her daddy's genes.

- Thanksgiving weekend (I know that this is technically November) we went back to the Renaissance Festival (for the Christmas theme). It was possibly the coldest day of the entire year... but we bundled up and had a ton of fun.





- We had a chance to catch up with a ton of old friends turing December and Abby made some new friends. Stacey's daughter Raegan and Abby became fast friends as they are only one month apart in age. We can't wait to see them again!!



- Christmas week was spent with family. The first part of the Christmas break was with Kim's family. All of Abby's great grandparents were there as well as her grandparents and uncle David.







- Christmas Day we went to Jason's family's house. We had a fantastic time with Abby's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, and Jason's aunts, uncle, and grandfather.








- New Years was spent with great friends! We went to Jimmy and Rochelle's house for a party and spent the night.
