Abbi had her first food yesterday….well, besides the bottle.  She actually liked the rice cereal and did very well eating it.   She’s been very curious when she sees me drink or eat something or even brush my teeth.  I figured it might be time to test the waters on food.  After a few bites [...]

This past Sunday we had Abbi dedicated at church.  It was quite something as they had 16 children being dedicated.  It was probably the noisiest service they’ve ever had!  I guess that is why they did not do it during the regular service and had a separate service for the dedications! I think it is [...]

The funniest thing happened last night as we were getting Abbi ready for her bath.  Tim did not find the situation amusing but I, on the other hand, thought it was hilarious!  To preface the story, yesterday was supposed to be a “poop day” for Abbi and she had not yet pooped.  As I was [...]

I love Easter!  I feel like Easter is the official start of Spring!  I love it!  This is a picture of a little bunny who was hopping around our front entry last week.  He had a little girlfriend who was there as well. We had a really good Easter weekend.  Saturday Tim went golfing while [...]

I didn’t realize how much the time change would affect Abbi’s sleep schedule!  We “sprung forward” an hour this past Sunday and, since then, Abbi’s naps have been so messed up.  We were doing so well with her naps and now it’s as though we’re starting all over.  Every nap is a battle.  Actually Monday [...]

This picture shows you the drool that has become a permanent fixture on Abbi’s face. I feel like I am constantly wiping drool from her mouth, chin, cheeks, and hands.  About a month ago I felt a small bump on her top gum and thought for sure that we were on the verge of a [...]

I think it is an unspoken rule that once you become a mom you live for Spring Cleaning.  See, I never really liked cleaning, and, the truth is, I still don’t like cleaning.  However, once Spring hit this year, I was eager to begin my Spring cleaning.  I spent 2 1/2 days last week really [...]
