This is for all you Chi-O's out there!

Here is my little future Chi Omega. I thought this bib was pretty cute. I had to get her picture in it before she eats in it because it may never look the same after.

Our trip to the Aquarium

Karen, Me and Abby, Jacee and Heidi

This month for Play group we went the the Living Planet Aquarium. It's just a small aquarium but is was perfect for the little kids. Abby seemed to enjoy it. She was very quiet and just watched all the kids and fish. I bought a year pass so that we could go again, I am sure Abby will enjoy it a little more when she gets a little older.

Our visit to Grandma's

Over President's Day Weekend we took Abby to Safford, Arizona to meet her Great Grandma LaDonna. We flew down on Saturday and met Stu's parents, Michele, Dan and family and Chame, Jon and their family. It was nice to have weather in the 60's. I would have preferred the 80's but at least we didn't have to wear coats. We spent lots of time at grandma's house playing games and listening to stories. We ate at Casa Manana a couple of times (a Mexican food restaurant that the Curtis' love) and enjoyed a late night run to Denny's for a shake and Dairy Queen. I have decided next time I go on vacation I am getting Abby her own room! She hasn't slept in the same room as Stu and I since she was weeks old and while we were in AZ she would wake up multiple times in the night and talk to herself then go back to sleep. Every time she did this is would wake me up and I would just wait for her to start crying but she never would she would just drift right back to sleep. Also, once Abby went to bed at 9:00 Stu and I could not turn on the TV and we had to be silent so we didn't wake her up. I am selfish, I want my own room! ( :

Our Family with Grandma

Abby enjoying Casa Manana. She loves rice and beans, she is definitely a Curtis.

"Uh guys, could you move this bug"
Abby was scared to death of this little ladybug. She would be happily playing until we put this ladybug in front of her then she would throw her hands out and scream until we moved it out of site. It was the funniest thing. She especially did not like the bottom of the ladybug, it kind of looked like a spider. Stu says it from all of the times she has seen me scream when I see a spider!

What a cute door stop.

She loved Mommy and Daddy's bed.

Abby and Daddy in the Tucson Airport getting ready to fly home. Abby did great on the the flight to Arizona and on the flight home she did great too until about twenty minutes before the flight ended then she decided to scratch her eye. She started screaming. There was nothing we could do to calm her. It was so embarrassing. Everyone stared at us probably thinking... can't they shut that kid up. She screamed for about 10 minutes it felt like hours. Finally Stu calmed her down by bouncing her in the most awkward way (for him). His arms and back were probably killing him, but he couldn't stop, we didn't want her to start screaming again. I do miss the days when I could get on a plane and fall asleep, read or listen to my i pod. Those days are long gone. Now I have a cute little squirt who will not hold still and wants to put everything in her mouth (and airplane are so clean) or grab everything including the woman "beehive" hair in front of us. Oh-well! I am just glad it was a very short flight.

Abby's Visit to Dr. Cramer

Abby's has been sick more than healthy since mid December, and she has a nasty cough right now. So, I took her in to see the doctor. He examined her and said that she has "Baby Asthma" and another ear infection in her right ear. She had a breathing treatment while we were there that she did not like. She screamed and tried to suck on it and got even more flustered when nothing good came out of the tube but mist. Now she is on Amoxiclin and a baby inhaler for a few weeks until her cough gets better.

They did weigh her and she now ways 19.5 lbs. Good thing I already bought her a new car seat.

Sick Again!

Abby is sick again. Since mid December Abby has been sick three times, one of which lasted three weeks. I am so sick of her having a runny nose and a cough. I hope it doesn't lead to another ear infection she has already had two. The poor thing can't sleep because she can't stop coughing. Someone really needs to figure out some kind of medicine the you can't give infants to help with their cough so at least they can get enough sleep to fight off the sickness. I feel so bad for her. Every time she sneezes she blows big old snot bubbles out her nose and she hates her nose being wipe and suctioned. So then she screams. I wish I could be sick for her, at least I can take cold meds.

There's Nothing Better...

There is nothing better than coming home from a long day at work and walking in the door to a huge smile and flapping arms from my baby girl. Then wanting to eat because I am starving but that same adorable face is looking up at me from her saucer squealing, squeaking and flapping because she wants me to pick her up. When I picked her up she smiled, talked to me and snuggled with me. It melted my heart. Then while putting her to bed a short time later, I was holding her and rocking her and as usual she reached for my hand and held on to my finger because that is all that her little hand can hold. It doesn't get better than that! I love my little squeakers!
