Abigail at 18 months

Abigail is 18 months! She's showing more of her own personality every day. Here's some fun things about her right now:

-She's talking a lot....about everything. We call her our little parrot because she repeats whatever we say....
-She's able to climb onto the couch other furniture. This makes waiting for daddy to come home each night even more fun!
-Eating everything and anything you put in front of her. Favorite food-cheese. Favorite veggie-peas. Does not like-meat or sandwiches...working on those!
-Loves taking all of her stuffed animals for walks on the dog leash
-Tries to take her baby on a walk on the leash until we tell her that babies don't go on leashes
-Still has 0 interest in books or being read to, except for Brown Bear which she repeats over and over again. She only likes it because it has flaps that she can lift up
-loves "craft time" where I pull out a bag of crayons and paper and she gets to color
- Favorite animal still a dog. Our dog still doesnt like her. We affectionately call them "frienemies"
-Loves all her grandmas and FaceTime, doesn't have a clue about cell phones because there is no picture
-getting very good at going potty on the toilet
- sleeps like a champ from 6 to 6 each night
-has had 4 ear infections in the last 8 months, ugh waiting to see what the dr. wants to do about this if anything

Overall she is joyful. Nathan says she has a vocation of joy! Everywhere we go she makes people smile:)

Mothers Day Photos

A friend in our play group is doing some side work with photography. She offered to get some shots of us and our babies as a Mothers Day present for us. We happened to have Grandma Gwen visiting on the day of the photo shoot! Here are some of the pics! I think she did a great job!

Zoo Time!

We decided to go away this year for Caleb's birthday. The St.Louis Zoo is where we headed and had a great time! Abigail loved all the animals except the penguins-too loud for her! Enjoy!

 This is what swimming turns into when the hotel pool is freezing! 






 Did not like the penguins!

St. Patrick's Day Fun and then some..

We were lucky enough to be able to walk in the parade this year! Abigail was not happy, mostly overwhelmed by all the people. She did not smile once until we got home! There are a few others of her playing..we are bored and ready for Spring!



 Still not happy...
 Happy once she was back in her warm house with her daddy!

 Mom, is it Spring yet, can we go outside?
Not yet...alright I'll pose for a cute picture 
 Typical fun day-Abigail and Siena

Loving her chair...And that she can climb on it and get books!
