13 Days until Christmas!!

Look at her sweet face

Countdown to Christmas

My personal photographer, Jessica, came over to our house and took our Christmas Pictures for us. She did such an amazing job. She gave us the CD of the pictures and we picked out 25 of our favorites. Seriously!! How do we narrow it down to one for the Christmas cards??? Well, you don't! We will be sending out several different cards this year.

Therefore, so that you don't miss out, I will be doing a Countdown to Christmas and everyday will be posting a couple of our Christmas pictures. So, you'll be able to see pictures everyday. Here's two of my favorite 25 pictures!

14 Days until Christmas!!!

Haute Tots

Super Cute! At my baby shower, my friend Lori gave Abby these Swarovski covered pacifiers and a Swarovski covered bottle that she had made. She's decided to go into business with her friend and start selling them. Check out her website!! Tell her I sent you!

7 weeks old

Can you believe it? 7 weeks old. She's growing so much. Sometimes when she wakes up from a nap it looks like she's grown 3 inches. We just love her so much.

Here are some pictures of our 7 week old little jewel. She's on her changing table. Notice the cover is missing. Every time her daddy changes her, she decides to pee on him and the newly washed cover. So, it's once again in the laundry.

Thanks for everyone who commented and said how cute she looked in Pink. It's a good thing, that's pretty much the color of her wardrobe. Here's a picture of her in a yellow sleeper. I like to keep her in jammies with footies in them. She refuses to keep her socks and shoes on. And since her daddy says that the socks and shoes are "my" responsibility to keep up with, the footie jammies help keep her feet warm.

Oh, and yes she's wearing little "boxing gloves" mittens. She's been quite the scratcher lately. We both have the battle wounds to prove it. I've tried to cut and file her nails, but have been unsuccessful. So for our protection and hers, Catwomen must wear the mittens.



She's started a new thing yesterday. Sticking her tongue out. It's precious. She did it twice last night at around 4am and it was only precious for a second. But today, I could watch her all day as she does her new trick. I tried to catch it on camera, and after tons of pictures barely got it.

I put this worm at the top by her head because she squirms so much she hits her head on the top of the table. She loves to look at this worm during her diaper changes. She'll look at him on one side to see the face, then quickly turn to the other side to see the tail. It's so cute to watch her twist and turn to see this worm.


She still isn't quite sleeping through the night, but we're working on it with lots of prayers. She already has such the personality. She's started this fake cry for when she wants us to pick her up. I caught on to her and so she changed it. She added in a fake cry with a fake cough. Worked for a bit, but you can't fool me. NOW, it's the fake cry with a fake cough and she SPITS! LOL!! Yep, she's already spit in her daddy's face. :)

It is pretty amazing how you can still love someone so much who will keep you up all night, poop, pee, and spit on you. But we do....we love you sweet girl!

I went on a DATE with this man....

....you can hire him as entertainment at your next Mexican Wedding

....he a fisherman, always catching the biggest fish

....he's got a kissable face

.....he's famous. He's met Shrek...


...and Michael Jordan.

....and he's a great Nerf gun shooter, although here he was attacked by a 6 year old that had a great aim.

Girls..he's all mine!

He's my best friend, my husband, my baby's daddy...he's my favorite date.

Friday night my mom kept Abby while Stan and I had a date night. We decided to go to Greenville, although most people in Greenville leave Greenville for dates. We dropped off Abby and then headed out to the Steak Angus for dinner, dropped by Walmart (y'all know Walmart is OUR store), then headed off to the movies to see Four Christmases. It was such a needed date night for me. I loved every minute of it. Thank you sweetie for a great night. Love you!!

Pretty in Pink

I dressed Abby up today for Stan to see her when he gets home. He's been gone for a couple of days and we sure do miss him when he's not here. So, I thought I would post some pictures for GrannyWagnon and Nana to see.

Abby is doing much better this week. We both HATE the diarrhea. The dr said it could take a week or so for it all to work its way out of her. Hopefully the worst is over and we move on to a happier baby.

We learned that she is now 7lbs and 8oz. Growing away. She's getting much better at holding her head up. She still looks like a bobble-head, but we're working on it. She tries to give kisses now......well kinda. I'll take it as kisses. Oh, her head is now big enough for her hair bows. YAY!! And my favorite, she's started pulling my hair now.

Enjoy the pictures and video!!

I think I wore her out!

Check out this video of my sweet baby!
