This picture isn't from today, but it easily could have been. This morning before work Jenn and I took Abbi outside to play in the snow. I'd like to say we had a great time. Abbi sled down a little hill on her but. She swung in her swing. She threw snowballs. She climbed around in the snow. Overall - she had a great time. I'll try to get pictures online tonight from this morning and will of course share them and stories next week.

Snow Day

Abbi has been running a bit of a fever here and there the last two days, so we've given her some kids Tylenol before bed to help her sleep and feel better. Last night after giving her the medicine, because its laced with kid friendly flavoring, she wanted more. You can see her here trying very hard to open the little container.

Trying Hard

Its been a few weeks, but Abbi has gotten back into playing with her tent. For a few weeks she hasn't been to interested, but this past week she's really gotten back into it. She'll gesture for us to get it out and then once we have, she insists that one of us sit in it with her. She does this by yelling "sit" at us until we do so, or getting our hand and pulling us to the tent. Jenn of course took a few pictures, and you can see Abbi and I playing peek a boo with Jenn here.

Playing Tent

Yesterday at Pizza Hut we decided to get Abbi some milk to drink. She tore into it! We had to help her pace herself so that she would have some left over when the food actually came! We found out a few months back that she's to old now for a high chair. She does much better when we sit in booths and she gets to sit in a booster seat. She behaves much better, and seems overall much happier while we're out!

Abbi likes to try on our shoes. It doesn't matter if they are mine or Jenn's, she just likes to try on our shoes. She's actually pretty good at walking in them too. My loafers are pretty easy for her to get on, and with Jenn's tennis shoes you can see Abbi attempting to "tie" the shoes. Its really cute to watch her get shoes and try them on.

Big Shoes

Jenn asked me the other day to take a picture of Abbi with this quilt. It was a gift from my Aunt Velma (one of my moms sisters) for Abbi's birth. We used it in her crib usually but it was out for a wash, and Jenn realized we needed to get Abbi and it in a picture. So here's that picture. She actually enjoy covering up with it while I photographed her!

Quilt Gift

I was commenting to Jenn the other day and again with co-workers today. I wonder how long it will be before Abbi learns how to manipulate Jenn and I. I mean she can smile at me and take away the frustration she's caused by the previous crying and whining all with a simple gesture. I took this picture from our bedroom looking out to the deck one Saturday morning when she was making snowballs with Jenn. I love that smile!
