Stella's
This past weekend we took our first official family trip out of the house as a family of four! It went surprisingly well, partly because I expect every trip our of the house with two children under the age of two...to be a complete disaster!
First we headed out to the local farmers market where we snagged some corn, strawberries, tomatoes and a fried apple pie (yum) ! Then we headed over to a surprise location (to me, Stephen planned it) called Stella's Deli. It is an adorable little deli that serves a fantastic brunch and just happened to be walking distance from the market, We had a nice walk over and then enjoyed our meal on the patio. Abigail was such a good girl, she even sat in her own chair and then passed out on the ride home. Maddie never made a peep!
I guess it is possible to survive life with two children.

Growing Girl
I don't think you can tell a difference in the two pictures below but hopefully I can be consistent in taking photos of Maddie as she grows. I have to be very intentional about taking pictures otherwise I would never have anything to post!

Monkey See.
Monkey do.
You may be wondering what that silly monkey is doing...well...Stephen and I frequently lay in the floor in ABy's room to play with her and when we don't want to get up to turn the music up or down or off we use our toes. Aby uses her toes too.

It's Funny to Me...
How funny Abigail thought this was...
If you're wondering what the heck that is, its a pineapple of course, from her kitchen!

Aby around the house...
Reading a book in the bumbo.
Saying CHEESE.
Being a little dramatic.
Spending some time with her doggy.
And of course...DANCING!

Good Morning!
(blurry, oh well)Can you believe that in just a few days we will be meeting miss Madeline and Abigail will be a (very little) big sister! I can't wait!

A Lazy Day
Today we stayed home and rested all day, only leaving the house to drive through and get an ice cream before bedtime! What a wonderful change to the normal chaos that ensues on the average day. We stayed in our pj's most of the day and some of us even refused to keep our diaper on after our bath..She is a hoot!
Baby Things
We have the bouncer, the swing, the bassinet, and the bumbo out and ready for Madeline....Abigail can't keep her hand off of them! She keeps turning on the music on the bassinet and getting stuck in the bumbo...the following was all my doing. She really likes the vibrations.
( of course it would be dark while she was actually smiling)

Sixteen Months With Our Sweetie
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new baby girl and it seems that with all of the excitement I have forgotten to keep everyone updated on everything that our "Sweetie" has been up to!
At (about) sixteen months Abigail is...
-Walking/Running everywhere. She moves a million miles a minute. She never seems to stop.
-Climbing on everything. I frequently catch her with one leg up on everything.
-A parrot. Aby repeats everything we say her latest words include. " rock, bible, cheese, ball, book, bird (biop), gingy, doggy....and many more.
-She put two words together for the first time yesterday...unfortunately they were "nooo maaamaa"
- learning to eat with a spoon/fork. She makes a huge mess but can at least dip her utensil in the food and put it in her mouth....most of the food ends up on her or her bib but she is defnitely improving.
-She loves to throw her ball.
- She currently has 8 teeth and has 3 visible teeth that are coming in. She has 2 others that are getting ready to come through.
- She loves her dog. She loves to lay in Gingers bed and give her kisses on her nose. She also likes to pull on her ears.
- She is in the 95% for her height...and can reach everything on the dinner table...we are worried that it won't be long before she climbs out of her crib.
- She goes to bed at 8:30 and wakes up between 8 and 8:30 every morning and takes one 2 and a half hour in the afternoon.
-She loves fruit and will hardly eat anything else if she knows there is fruit to be had. A few of her other favorites include cheese, yogurt, scrambled eggs and of course the occasional Chick-fil-a kids meal (including chicken nuggets/fruit cup and apple juice).
-She still loves music. She is a dancing machine.
-She loves her babies and rarely leaves the house without her purse. It is too cute watching her rock her baby and pat its back, and then stuff it in her purse!
We love our Sweetie.

The Little Ladies Room
It is nearly impossible to get a photo of the girls room that actually looks anything like the room itself so here are few. Have fun piecing them together. I love the way that the room has come together, it's crazy to think of all the changes we have made in the two years that we have owned our home!
