Katie and Carlyn!

Today Katie and Carlyn came to visit for pizza and Disney movies. Aunt Meg even came over to join in the fun.


Carlyn was a great "Big Cousin" and showed Abbie how to use all her toys including testing out the unopened ones still in boxes (just to make sure they were suitable for Abbie).

Later on after lunch, the little ladies showed everyone their favorite way to use the Boppy.

Valentine's Day Humor

Good thing Daddy wasn't born in 1980... cuz he's awfully funny!



(sorry about the shaky camera... a little difficult to hold it with my lefthand and be so funny with my right)

Grandmom's Birthday!

Monday was Grandmom's birthday and Abbie helped celebrate all weekend with the family and the Millers (it was also Mrs. Miller's birthday Monday too!).

She also got a chance to show off more of her unlimited wardrobe.... but forgot to wear a smile. It's hard work looking this good.

Who Dat? - Super Bowl XLIV

With the Giants season long over... Abbie had to find someone to root for in her first Super Bowl. So to get her ready, all week Daddy was singing the Saints famous chant "Who Dat" to Abbie. She seemed to enjoy it very much (almost as much as when he sings "Pants on the Ground" from American Idol).

Anyway... Abbie's first Super Bowl was a great time. Grandmom and Grandpa's annual party was a lot of fun, the sentimental underdog won (on an interception from Golden Boy Peyton Manning, no less), and Abbie won multiple box pool prizes.

Yes that's right... Abbie claimed the 1st quarter prize and final score! Here she is celebrating with her winnings!

Thanks to Uncle Jack for coordinating the party's annual pool, all while corrupting his grand niece by allowing her to participate in organized gambling at such a young age.

Look at my new trick

Abbie has been working out vigorously over the past several weeks and now can lift that head hers off the ground quite easily. That's no small feat considering the size of her enormous noggin.


Next up... one armed push-ups.

New Diet

After a late night trip to the pediatrician tonight, Abbie has switched formulas... again.

Less than 90 days old... and already on her fifth different type of formula.


Let's go over the apparent Pros and Cons of her new brew....

Pros - supposed to keep her stomach less acidic, which in turn will limit her fussiness and spit up.

Cons - costs the equivalent of liquid gold, and has a very "unique" smell. Daddy thinks it smells like wet dog.... Mommy thinks it smells like crackers. I don't know about her, but I never ate a Ritz that smelled like Oscar after being stuck in a rainstorm.


Anyway, hopefully this formula will finally do the trick (and still allow us to pay the mortgage). Keep your fingers crossed...
