Happy Birthday to Us!

Another year older! Stu and I celebrated our birthday's together since they are only a week a part. We enjoyed two weeks of celebrating and to top it off we had our favorite a Dairy Queen ice cream. cake.

What Abby is up to...

Abby loves purses. Stu showed her the other day that she could put her bib over her shoulder like a purse, the next morning there she was with the bib over her shoulder. Anything that can be a purse, is a purse: a bucket, a pair of pants, mommy's purse. Today I gave her one of my older purses that is a little smaller and she put it over her shoulder and put her Mickey and Minnie figurines in it. She also loved bracelets. She likes to get into my jewelry drawer and put my bracelets on. I can't believe how much she understands. I said something to her the other day not expecting her to understand and the next thing I know she went and did it. I asked her if she was poopy today and she pointed to her diaper. It is so crazy to me how smart little ones are. I only let her have her Binky's in her bed or in the car and today she found all of her Binky's on the floor by her crib (because she throws them out when she wakes up) and she picked them all up and threw them into her crib. I asked her yesterday if she wanted to go take a bath she got all excited and said tub, tub and went straight to the tub. She surprises me everyday with something new. I just love her to pieces even if she has become a little monster lately. She still loves Josh Groban We get in the car and she points to the stereo. The other day my mom had her. They were driving and Abby kept pointing to the stereo and getting kind of fussy so my mom turned on Josh Groban's Christmas CD because that was all she had in the car and Abby fell right to sleep. I need to write to Josh and let him know he has a 14 month old fan.

Here's a funny story, I was sitting on the toilet, minding my own business and Abby came walking into the bathroom. She walks over to me and starts talking to me, then slides in next to the toilet and the next thing I know her hand in reaching into the toilet behind me. I grabbed her hand but it was too late, it was all wet. SO Disgusting! I started washing her hands in the sink and she grabs the toilet paper roll that is on the counter (because if it is on the roll she unrolls it) and put it in the sink. She is too busy for me sometimes, and I know it is only going to get worse.

Another story, Lafaunda informed me that earlier that day she squatted down and her shirt came up a little and Abby started putting cereal down her crack. What a little stinker. Sorry Lafaunda hope you don't mind me telling that story.

What a Mom!

I am such a great Mom, my daughter has 3 molars and I didn't even know she had them. She got an ear infection a couple weeks ago and had a couple bad nights and that was probably them. I just blamed the ear infection. I was waiting for more of her front teeth to come in before the molars so I haven't even looked. Poor thing. I think she might be getting the 4th one, now I am a little more observant.

Too Cute!

Abby's favorite show is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Tonight she was watching it with her Daddy and Mickey kept calling for Pluto and suddenly Abby started saying Pluto. It sounded more like Poodo, it was pretty cute. She just kept repeating it. After that I went to put her down to bed. I was rocking her while I gave her a bottle and she just kept on talking and saying Pluto so I said to her Shhhhhh! She looked up at me and took out her bottle and said Shhhhhh! I couldn't stop laughing so of course she continue to Shhhhh, me. I just love her sweet little personality. I don't know how we ever lived with out her. She still doesn't say too many words, but she is getting a lot better at walking. We love watching her she looks like a little Frankenstein. She cruises around now thinking she is hot stuff. Pretty soon she will be running.

She's a Walkin'

Abby took her first steps a couple days ago, now she is a walking machine. She still is quite tipsy and sometimes would rather crawl if she need to get there faster. I love holding her hand and walking by her side. Being a Mommy is the best thing in the world. I just love her to pieces! Way to go big girl!

Here is a short clip of her walking. Sorry it is sideways I don't know how to turn it.

MSA Playgroup!

Abby checking out some animal!

All the ladies and all the strollers.

Today we had our first of many MSA (Medical School Alliance AKA, the spouses club) playgroup.

I was so great to go and meet with a bunch of other women who understand what it is like to have a husband in Medical school. I met a lot of new friends, got to spend time with some old friends - Miss Natalie Demill - and got reacquainted with friends I haven't seen for a long time that I didn't know were even in MSA - Megan Lindsey, sorry Meg I don't know your married name. Abby had a great time watching all the kids, she could care less about the animals. I thinks we were the only people at the zoo to day. It was quite cold! I am so excited to be a part of MSA for the next four years. I just wish we had playgroup more than once a month.
