New Dress

This cute number is from Aunt Lynnelle, given to her when she was first born. I never thought she'd be big enough to wear it. Well...here we are!

1st Word!

I'm not quite ready to jot it in the baby book yet, as this might be sheer coincidence, but here's Abby's first word. Don't hold your breath - it ain't "Mama". (No, that's not a fart at the end, just some weird sound she made with her mouth, but I laughed every time I heard that part so I just had to include it!)



This little head-scoot thing is how she gets around everywhere! She can really go pretty fast.

In other news, I tried giving her a sippy cup this past week and she sort of got the hang of it. We'll be working more with it, as I only have one bottle, so having the sippy gives me another option.

She's also getting up on all fours and doing the whole "rocking" thing. She'll be crawling before we know it! (I'm not rushing her, as I know what increased mobility will do to my sanity!)

In Bed Together

No, this is not our normal sleeping arrangement. For whatever reason William didn't want to get out of his crib yesterday after his nap, so I plunked Abby down with him. She completely adores him.


Oh, and she did NOT puke in his bed. Although that is a very real possibility.

Sitting...Almost!

Abby is almost there in the sitting department. If she's got her toys around her and within her reach she'll sit quite nicely. But if there's something she wants, she'll just completely face plant herself to the floor so she can flip over on her back and do her head-scoot. She's very good at that. Not at all bothered by the fact that there are much better ways of getting around in life other than sliding along on her back.

Sunday Pictures

Here they are, all dressed up for church! Yesterday was William's first Sunday sitting in church. Well, the cry room actually. We were both amazed at how well he did. He only needed to be taken out once. He had his backpack with a few toys in it, and I came armed with fruit snacks and some animal crackers. We didn't want him in nursery since there is so much sickness going around and I don't need that cold back!



Unless she's strapped in the seat she WILL get out! There's always something more interesting just out of her reach.

Just Cuz

Readin' her books.

Another One

I didn't make this one...I got it from my neighbor's aunt. I love having a girl...all the accessories! And she seems to like wearing them, too! William always kept on his hats as well, and will still wear them - even in the house.

You'd think with the fleece she's wearing that it's freezing cold here...nope! It was close to 80 degrees yesterday and today it's over 70. I just like this outfit...and now she's got a flower to match it!
