Abigail & her baby doll with matching pjs

I thought this old time looking picture of Abigail was gorgeous. She's such a photogenic little girl. Her personality shines in everything she does.

I Love his little cheesy smile

It's a bad quality picture but i love connor's little smile and coo's. He's definitely more of a snuggler than Abigail

The 3 months of sickness...and counting

Things have been crazy in our household since the week before Connor was born. Abigail had a stomach virus that week. I got it the weekend I went into labor. Tommy had it our first night home. Then Abigail got a cold. Connor got hand, foot, mouth disease at 3 weeks old. Then both of them got colds & pink eye and Connor got an ear infection (which he still has)). Abigail started having bladder issues and we thought she may have kidney problems. Luckily she is fine and probably just holds her urine in. Then Connor got bronchiolitis. Then Abigail got some viral condition that made her break out in hives.
So, needless to say, tommy and I are exhausted...and the doctors kids will be getting VERY nice gifts for christmas from all the money he's made from our weekly appointments the last 3 months.
Luckily Abigail seems to be doing fine. Connor still has an ear infection. He's had 2 rounds of amoxicillin, 1 rocephin shot, and is now on another oral antibiotic. He also still seems to have a little wheezing from the bronchiolities , hopefully that will go away soon. I'm ready to have a healthy house!

A few pictures of the little ones

Getting bigger!

They are both growing up so fast. Abigail seems to be learning something new everyday. And Connor is over 16lbs now. I have so much to be thankful for this Christmas.

My little Abigail is growing up so quickly. She amazes us everyday with the things she learns.

She says 100s of words and repeat just about anything you say. We're trying to teach her a few French words too. She can string words together in sentences.

She's been singing alot of nursery rhymes lately too. Itzy bitty spider, i'm bringing home a baby bumblebee, Patty cake, rock-a-bye baby.

She can almost count to 10. She usually leaves out the number 4 for some reason.

She's quickly picking up her ABCs. She says most of them but will leave out a few here and there.

She's also really started to pretend play. She plays with her stuffed animals and baby dolls all the time. The other day I caught her teaching one of the dolls patty-cake. It was so precious.

She's VERY independent. I think the terrible 2s have started early. She's quick to tell you "Imma do it". And that she's in charge. She give us a run for our money. But timeouts seem to be working lately. She's gradually beginning to understand that she has to listen to us all the time.

She's growing up into such a big girl now. I look at her and then look at Connor and miss my little baby girl.

Big boy!

Connor is getting so big. Here he is Saturday with his LSU jersey. According to our scale, he is 14.8 lbs!!! He's going to be bigger than Abigail in no time.
