Enjoyment

I never knew the joy that a kid can bring to your life and that is exactly what Abbie has done for me. She is just growing and growing (in a size 12 month pajamas for length!). She smiles and laughs and loves to play. She rolls over both ways and is beginning to try to push up a bit so crawling is in the near future! Brian and her play a lot too! He holds her facing out and chases the dogs and she just laughs and laughs. She loves her two puppies. She is a delight in every sense of the word. I pray daily over her that God will protect her and that she will come to know the Lord and not stray from the path. I pray that God keeps her all the days of her life. I pray for Brian and I to be an example where God is modeled and where we raise her by the principles God has laid out. With all this enjoyment comes responsibility and each day is a learning experience. I thank God for giving me such a wonderful gift to take care of. May it be to his glory!

New Trick

Abbie can now do zurbuts(sp?) with her mouth. It is very cute and slobbery. I am sure I won't think it's cute when she is eating and doing it.

Peek-a-boo

Little Abs is learning peek-a-boo. Tonight Brian had the burp rag over her face (in a good way) and played the game we all know and love, "Where is Abbie?" Take the rag away and say, "There she is!" She would smile real big and we would play again. She would pick up the rag and hold it in front her face then pull it down. Now, whether or not she knew what she was doing, it was super cute. For the record-I think she knew exactly what she was doing!

She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain

Well, she did it. Again. Now she is rolling from front to back!! I can't believe it. Within a week she is doing both and sitting up even better. Today we went to the park for the first time to swing. She was very cute in the little bucket swing. She kept looking at the kids playing. Too cute! My little girl is just too cute and gets cuter by the day.
Today was also my evaluation at school. I don't know how I did yet. I was a bit worried and nervous as one can expect when your boss is watching you. I should know something tomorrow.

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

She did it. She finally rolled over and I got the last part of it on tape. This lovely event occured on Thursday, February 2 in the evening. She rolls over all the time now. It is so cute how she just flops herself over and poof! There she is on her tummy. Here's the kicker-she doesn't know how to get back over and gets a bit mad after a bit that she can't get on her back. She will get there. To top that off, she is beginning to sit up by herself! She needs some support but is doing a great job. Wow, what a lot to do in just 6 months. Busy little thing.

Rollergirls

Have you seen it? It is about roller derby and follows some girls that are well, rough looking. They have names that I can't write and they are very competitive. It comes on Monday nights on A&E. You should check it out. Me? Oh, I am not the one in the house that watches it.
