Catching up!

Phew! I have FINALLY found the cord that goes to my camera so now I can FINALLY share some photos of my precious one from the last few months! These go back a few months so I'll try to caption what's going on in the pics. Abby is doing marvelous lately...especially today - I started potty training her today and on her first day she tinkled twice and shoo-shooed twice on the potty! She even let me know she needed to go and ran back to the potty and performed beautifully! Today is the first day in 17 months that I haven't changed a poopie diaper...whoo-hoo! Thank you my dear one!

We were at the zoo here, in April, with cousin Landon, Aunt Kellie, and Nana. She loved watching the fish in the pond, the long necked giraffes, and running wild with Landon near the end of our trip.



Happy Easter! She was not happy with me for putting that bow in her hair. :) The Easter Bunny brought her a "duck-bunny", book, and eggs in her pretty little basket. We should have done the family portrait first thing that morning. She was tired, hungry, and not a happy camper!

It's moving day! Aunt Kellie and Landon came to help us move...AGAIN. Here they are watching as Daddy and Papa load the UHaul up in the rain! Abby is a good cleaner, too. She loves to sweep and if you give her a paper towel she'll do a great job wiping down everything within her reach.


This was our play day at The Wonder Place in Little Rock. It's a building full of fun things for kids to do and explore. Abby loved walking up and down the stairs that were her size and going down the slide. This picture of Landon and Abby is my favorite of them two! Even though she was probably crushing him, they look so sweet, like they love each other. :)

There will be more soon, now that I've found my camera cord...I'll be sure to include one of the big girl on her potty seat in the next round of pics! Thanks for keeping up with us...

Abby's First Pool

I have been looking forward to getting one of those little kiddie pools for Abby ever since it started getting warm. Brady went a couple nights ago to get one and we couldn't wait to get her in it, even if it was 8:00 at night! The water was a little cool so she didn't want to sit down completely, but she did have a good time splashing around with her hands. She wasn't quite as excited as having the cold water dripped over her little head, though!





Here's a few of us at Beaverfork Lake. We took a picnic there on Wednesday when Brady was off. It was very windy, but still enjoyable. The one where Abby's screaming, she had made a bee-line for a motorcycle that was in the parking lot. When we wouldn't let her touch it she got mad. Granny and Papa Steve should be proud! :)

It's been too long!

I want to start off by apologizing for it being such a long time in between posts! As you know we've moved (again!). In that move I lost the cord that you download pictures to your computer from your camera and was only in the last few days able to get access to my other camera! So, here's a few photos to catch up on Abby's 15th month and I will work on getting the other pictures that are trapped in my other camera off somehow! Enjoy!

Here's our two baby girls, together at last!

Grace has figured out that meal time for Abby is also snack time for her! She gets to gobble up all the tasty morsels that Abby manages to get on the floor. :)

Bathtime fun!

Abby loves to love on her Daddy, especially before bedtime. When she knows that it's time for bed and I start coming to take her from him she'll shake her head "no" and tuck her little arms in even tighter so I can't get her. Of course this makes Daddy feel great!

A Little Young Lady...

Where's Abby?!

Here I am!!

I pulled my music table up to my chair all by myself. Might as well be comfy while I play!

As you can see, I'm not a big fan of snow...

Here I am in the sweet outfit my Daddy got for me. Summer sunshine, here I come!

One Year Pictures...

Here's the results of Abby's first professional photo shoot...enjoy!

Happy First Birthday!

Abigail's first birthday was a huge success! With family and friends all around Abby opened presents, showed off her new tricks, and let everyone know how much she DIDN'T like her birthday cake! :)

11 Months Pictures!

I am always impressed with my friend's blog over at the "Zickafoose Zoo", so I have decided to try and do better entries in the coming year! :) Now, I am not as good at word stories as I am picture stories, so there still might be more pictures than words, but that will have to do. We are trying to get prepared for Abby's one year birthday party -- we are expecting quite a crowd from Muskogee and Abby is so excited! :) She has been practicing walking. She can now take about 6-8 steps when she wants to. She is also preparing for her speech. I'm thinking that it will probably be all about her "da-da" and her "duh" (duck) since those are the words she's mastered so far! Here's some fun pictures from the last month...

Fun with Auntie Kellie!

She was a bit surprised when this incodent happened! Of course, in the midst of thrashing and playing peek-a-boo with her daddy, and all the many other things she likes to do while attempting to eat, she thrust her forhead right on the spoon! She decided it was funny when daddy started laughing...

I'll be 11 months on Friday!!!

We were blessed with several wonderful Christmas's! Here's some pics of a little of what's been going on! :)
