No matter how much I love and care about Abbi, there are times when she gets to be to much. Last night was one of those times. When we were eating dinner, we were trying to watch tv. After a somewhat unsuccessful attempt to feed her dinner, we moved on to dinner. She then decided it was time to play and make a ton of noise and just be a pain. It was a rough bit there while we were trying to eat. Point being, while she's lovely and so on - I wanted to be honest enough to say that sometimes its not always fun and exciting. Sometimes its just tedious work. But I do love her a ton.

Laughter

As a person who routinely makes fun of others based on different aspects of the day, I can only imagine how many different names Abbi will be called by me in the next 18 years. Currently we have things like pumpkin, princess, sweety, and so on. Here I suppose cupcake would have been a good little nickname for the moment.

This kid is non-stop these days. Now that she is mobile, we are beginning to deal with her first bouts of tantrums. We will pick her up, and she won't like it, so she'll start to cray and flail around. We're trying to teach her that it doesn't really work that way. Hopefully in time she'll learn.

One thing we're doing to get that to happen is that when I hold her and she starts to scream, Jenn and I will calm her down together and then once she shows that she has stopped crying I'll give her to Jenn or we'll put her on the floor. Hopefully she'll associate the stopping of crying with getting what she wants. Hopefully.

Check out these teeth! She's got 6 teeth in full now. I think the one front tooth has a bit more falling in to do, but for the most part its in there pretty good. Here you can see Abbi and I playing on the bed and her with a big smile on her face.

Flipped

Be sure to scroll down a little to see the second picture posted here today. 8 months ago we took Abbi's announcement pictures in this dress. Yesterday for church she wore it again. It still fit her! That's crazy. As a result, I of course wanted to take her picture. Its amazing to see her in the same clothes only 8 months apart and see how completely different she looks.

Obviously Wednesday was St. Patricks Day. Obviously we had an outfit for her to wear! This one is courtesy of Tina. More important than the outfit, it checking out how's she's been hog tied and loves it. You can see her upside down and enjoying every minute of it!
