GEAUX TIGERS!

Last month the Tigers won their bowl game! I'm just now getting around to posting the pictures of Abigail in her LSU cheerleading outfit. We are patiently waiting for baseball season to start now (sorry, we're not big basketball fans).

Happy Wednesday y'all!

9 months

Miss Attitude

She's got her second tooth this month.

She can pull up into a standing position on her own and has begun cruising along the furniture.

She's saying mama, baba, dada, and a few other gibberish. She also likes to say Bob alot...we're not sure who Bob is but she must like him!

She's in size 9 month, and some 12 month clothes and size 4 shoe.

She's still wearing size 3 diapers.

She still LOVES bath time. And she likes to stand in the bath tub and hold onto the faucet. I fuss at her every time and she just laughs and stands up again.

She dances to the Mickey Mouse clubhouse song now.

She's still eating well. She doesn't really care for the Gerber 3rd foods. I don't blame her, they look pretty gross too. So she's still eating the 2nd foods and some of our cooked food. She loves feeding herself.

She's starting to understand direction. If we ask her to throw us a ball. She will pick it up and throw it towards us. She's going to be one smart little girl!

Creating daddy's christmas present

PIcture Catch-up (6 months-now) - pic with santa, etc.

I have neglected the blog the last 2 months and have only posted some of the major events but I don't want to forget alot of the little things that happened along the way.

Right after we got back from Seattle we had some professional pictures taken. I wasn't extremely impressed with what we got. But atleast it was something. I plan to have more taken for Abigial's first birthday and I need to start looking for a good photographer now. Here are a few of my favorites from her 6 month/family photo shoot.

A few weeks before christmas we headed out to a local light show to let Abigail see all of the Christmas lights. My parents met us there and we had a great time. We enjoyed hot chocoloate and Abigail even got to take her first picture with Santa. It was really cold outside that day so we bundle her up really well.










Here are few Christmas pictures of her in front of our tree. She moves so fast now and it's hard to get a good shot of her.

That lollipop was yummy

8 months

Abigail turned 8 months old on Wednesday. She has developed so much in the last month.

She's so much fun and usually always in a good mood.

She's always so curious and wants to see and do everything you do.

She's got her first tooth this month.
She can get into a sitting position on her own.
She started crawling this month.
She can pull up to a standing position.
She's saying mama, baba, dada, and a few other gibberish.
She has started to eat some normal table food (breads, waffles, etc)
She experienced her first Christmas.
She has been hissing alot lately.
She says "huh" after almost EVERYTHING we say to her.
She's in size 6-9, 9 month, and some 12 month clothes
And she's still wearing size 3 diapers.
She had her first round of RSV (and hopefully last!)
She has become so independant and wants to do alot of things on her own.

And my favorite new trick...she can give kisses on command, which Tommy and I love. She's such a sweet girl.

I put a 50 cent punch ballon in her stocking this Christmas and I think thats the toy she plays with the most. She loves watching us punch it and then she tries to grab the rubberband and do it herself.

Pre-Christmas Festivities - Helping wrap presents

I'm trying to catch up on all of my pictures from before Christmas. Here are a few of Abigail helping me wrap Christmas gifts. I guess this will be the first and last Christmas that I can buy and wrap her gifts with her right in front of me.

She looks like she was caught doing something wrong in this next picture.

Sickness & a tooth!

Abigail tested positive for RSV on Tuesday. She started coughing and having a runny nose on Christmas Eve. And sometimes when she ate she would gag on the mucus in her throat and throw up. So I figured something was wrong. We gave her breathing treatments but it didn't seem to be getting better. So Tuesday morning we went to doctor and my suspisions were confirmed. She has RSV and an ear infection. She's on steriods, antibiotics, cough medicine, and breathing treatments. She's already doing MUCH better!

And on top of being cranky becasue of the sickness, she's also cutting her first tooth. It hasn't seemed to bother her too much. But at times she searches for everything that she can fit into her mouth to chew on. So these last few days have been interesting. Hopefully this is the first and last time we see RSV in our home!

We won't be doing much to celebrate New Years Eve tonight since Abigail is sick and its supposed to rain ALL night long. Hope everyone has a wonderful New Years.
