good morning

I don't have too much time, so this will be a quick post. Ok, a few new things about Abby... she is finally ROSEOLA free!!!!!! YEAH, no more rash and she is her normal self! She is now taking about 7-8 steps alone, loves to walk around holding someones hand, she says, "bebe" for her baby, she is signing "eat", "more", "milk" and "all gone".
We have Abby's swimming class tonight. We are looking forward to that, since we had to miss it last week. Have a good day!

More pictures

Since I haven't posted in such a long time, I have a lot of catching up to do. Abby is taking her morning nap so I thought I'd try to post some more pictures.

Abby just loves this baby! Ben and I say it is the ugliest baby we have ever seen. I think Abby knows it is funny looking too because whenever she grabs it she laughs at the baby!

Abby playing "Hide and Seek".... gee, where could she be?

As Ella says.... at "Bald Headed" Grandpa's house playing on the pool table!

Playing on Maw maw's chair... this chair has been around for a long time! Ben use to play in it when he was younger too!


Playing at Maw maw and Pop paw's house in a box. Doesn't take much to amuse Abby!

Abby sitting in her own seat on the plane. We were very lucky that the back of the plane was empty. Abby had so much fun flirting with the gay flight attendant!

Abby with her cousins.. Lyla (9 months old) and Ella (3 1/2 years old)

Abby just loves watching everything. We were at the Blair family Christmas with about 30 other people and Abby was so amazed at all the action!

Our precious little butterfly! Abby was sitting in front of our neighbors house! Next year we will have to go all out and decorate like this!

our baby girl!

So, Abby is doing much better, but Ben and I think she has a viral infection called Roseola. We are not 100% sure, but we are treating it like that. She has several little bumps on her body and when she cries or gets worked up they really come out. We are keeping her quarantined for a few days just in case it is contagious. The nurse at our doctors office said it is contagious, but in What to Expect The First Year and on WebMD, it said it isn't contagious.
Well I better get back up stairs to attend to her.
have fun looking at some new pictures of her!

Abby sitting outside of the house on Halloween

Abby loves to turn the pages in her books. Here she is reading a Baby Einstein book

Abby and I are taking Mommy and Me swim classes. Here she is kicking... I have to say, "kick, kick, kick" to her when we do this!

A few weeks ago we went to Columbia Mall to see the Sugar Beats perform..... I was really really let down. I thought it was an actual group that sung 80's songs. Come to find out it was a bunch of lil kids and a man playing a guitar while the kids sang.

long time, no post!

I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to post something. These last few weeks have been non stop for us. We had a great Halloween with our little butterfly! Abby had her Halloween outfit on during the day and was a little butterfly at night! She was so happy going to our neighbors houses getting candy! Mommy and daddy didn't want her having candy, but people still gave it to her. She had fun putting it in her mouth with the wrappers still on. Abby also had tons of fun seeing all the kids dressed up. She wasn't too happy giving the candy out to the children; she wanted to keep all of it for herself to chew on of course!
Today I am home with a sick baby! Last night she had a temperature of 103.6 and was awake several times throughout the night. I gave her Tylenol, but still took her to the doctors just to make sure everything is fine. Dr. Riley didn't see anything wrong with her, we just need to keep an eye on her to make sure her temperature doesn't go up. The nurse did weigh her and our lil baby now weighs 19.9 lbs and is 11 months and 10 days old!!!!!! I hate seeing Abby sick, but it was such a wonderful feeling how all she wanted to do was cuddle with her mommy and daddy! I LOVE MY LIL FAMILY SO MUCH!!!!!!
Ok, I knwo a few thigns about computers but I have tried for 2 days nwo to download the pictures on the camera and jsut can't figure it out. I promise I will get some updated pictures posted!!!
