Little Stinker

Boy were you a little stinker today. Mommy had to work the food and wine show again. I wasn't feeling good and got off of my shift early. You and Daddy came and got me. Daddy had to help Matt & Jennifer get their new computer hooked up, so you and I stayed home. You were whiney and just a little stinker.

Abby's Day Out

Today Mommy and Daddy had to work the food and wine show. You spent the day hanging out with Grandpa Willy and Grandma Barb. You got to go sledding, watch movies and play. You also took Great Grandma Ev to church. You met Sister Bev. She said you look so much like Mommy! You called us on the phone to chit chat.

It Be Fun!!

Today we went to meet Matt, Jennifer and Maddie, so Daddy could help them pick out a computer. On the way, you saw a big snow covered hill. You said, "Go sliding, It be fun!!" We had dinner at Outback Steakhouse and you were such a good girl!

Mommy's Little Crab Cake

Boy were you crabby today! You didn't take a very good nap, and you still aren't feeling so good. And, now Mommy is sick. You fell asleep during the 5 minute car ride home from Grandma Barb and Grandpa Willy's. I had to wake you up to get you in the house. It didn't take long before you were fast asleep in my arms again. Today was Grandpa Tom's birthday, so we had to wake you after a short while to go celebrate. You weren't happy, but you did cheer up.

Other big news of the day, You woke up this morning and went potty on the potty chair - big girl! AND Baby Cousin Dylan Good made an early arrival. We looked at pictures on the computer and you said, "Cute Baby Dylan!"

Enough for now, it's time to cuddle and go night night.

Not Feeling So Hot

You have a nasty cold. When you woke up this morning, you had all sorts of yucky snot dried on your face. Poor girl. You didn't let it get you down though.

The World According to Abby

Today you weren't feeling so hot. You have a yucky runny nose. No fun. You talk like your nose is plugged.

We went to the Mall of America and had dinner at Famous Daves. You didn't feel much like eating. On a happy note, you went potty in your potty chair again!! You sat on the potty before your tubby. Daddy and I are SO proud of you!!

Twinkle Twinkle

Daddy and I have the day off. The two of you were just singing Twinkle Twinkle Litte Star. Your singing is SO cute!

We are going to be heading to Home Depot. We are starting our bathroom remodel and the old wallpaper isn't coming off so nice. :0( I think we are going to rent a steamer. Hopefully you won't be learning any naughty words from us cussing in the bathroom from frustration!!

We made up a song and it goes like this, "I hate Wallpaper. Wallpaper is not my friend." Mommy and Daddy weren't having too much fun peeling wallpaper. You started singing along, except when you get to the "not my friend" part, you sing, "Wallpaper is my friend".

Potty Time

Today after your tubby you told Daddy you had to go potty. The look on your face when your potty made the tinkle music was priceless. It was a look of both surprise and pride. When you finally did stand up (it took a little while). Daddy looked, and you did indeed go potty. We were both so proud of you. You had an M&M treat, and then called Grandpa Willy and Grandma Barb. You told them both that you went potty. Such a big girl!!

After dinner tonight, you took Daddy for a walk. You wanted to go to the dentist. You and Daddy walked back and forth from the front door to the back door yelling, "I need a dentist. Is anyone there?" You are so silly! You never cease to amaze me little girl!

A Pineapple Under the Sea

Today you met Sponge Bob Square Pants and Brother and Sister Berenstein Bear. We went to the Twin Cities Children's Expo at the Convention Center. You seemed to enjoy it.

Your friends (Matt, Jenn & Madelyn, Jason & Kara, Colleen & Juan Carlos, and Auntie Jessie and Dave) came over for game night. You were so excited to see "baby Madewin". You wanted to hold her and kept giving her kisses. The two of you are going to be wonderful friends, I just know it. We brought your old activity bar out for Madelyn to play with. You wanted a turn. When Madelyn was done, you layed down on the blanket and played with it like you did when you were a baby. You have grown up so fast!

It's a BOY!

Today we found out that Auntie Julie and Uncle Nick are going to have a baby boy. When they left, you said good bye to your baby boy cousin.

Mommy's Little Cop

Today we went to Sam's Club. You were sitting nice in the shopping cart. We walked by another cart. There was a little girl standing in the back of it. As we passed, you looked at her and said, "You little girl, sit down...That's naughty." We went to Cheesecake Factory for our early Valentine's Day Dinner. While waiting for a table, we walked around Southdale for a little while. Daddy let you "drive" the Mini Coopers. You had so much fun!!
