Yeah!! Pierced Ears!!

Well, she did it. She was so brave! I had butterflies in my stomach for her. I knew what was coming and I just wanted to cry. I asked her about a dozen times if she wanted to do it. She saw a baby get her ears pierced and she still said yes. She did cry. And afterwards said that it hurt real bad :0( But she did SO good!! They make her look like such a big girl. My baby has earings!!

Earings?

Well, I'll post more later, but I think we are going to take Miss Abby to get her ears pierced today. We're going to Eric & Corinna's house warming party and then I think we are going to head to the Mall of America and get some earings. She seems pretty excited right now. That may change in a little bit. She was promised some Camp Snoopy rides if she goes through with it. That just may help her out.

a new mommy in the house

My mom and I went to a Tupperware party the other night. Abby stayed with Grandpa Willy. When we got back, grandpa was telling me about their evening of adventures. Abby told grandpa that she was going shopping and asked if he would babysit her babies. He said yes. She called him from the mall on her cell phone to ask how the babies were. He told her that they were sleeping. She told him that no, they weren't. They were just being very quiet.

We had an Abby & Emma photo shoot on the back porch. I love how the pics turned out! I love Abby's expression, Emma's little tongue sticking out, Emma holding Abby's finger and Abby's love for her little sister that just pours out of the picture. Too cute!!

And the award for best performance in a drama goes to...

ABBY! Holy Cow this child is dramatic. We are frantically working on trying to curb the drama. So far, not working so well :0( We have to keep reminding ourselves that bring Emma into our family is partly to blame. I mean, everything in Abby's little life changed the day Emma was born. We all of a sudden have this brand new baby living with us. Mommy's home from work. She's not at Grandma's every day with her friends.

She and Emma get along great though, Thank Heavens!! Abby loves her little sister. As a matter of fact, they played doctor today. Abby was an excellent doctor and Emma was a very patient patient.

Abby is growing into such a big girl. She has just shot up in height the past couple of months. Girl needs to slow down!!!
