Sneak peak of our trip to San Antonio

Test post. Apparently blogger has a new way to post on blogs through text message. Just trying to see if this works.

Abigail is going to be a big sister!!!

Abigail's excitement!

We've been knowing for a quite a while. These pictures were taken the afternoon I took the test so Abigail is much younger. I'm actually already 22 weeks. I took a test (ok, 3 tests) in early January and they were all positive. Tommy was working that night so Abigail and I enjoyed the secret for one night. The next morning when Tommy came home I told him Santa left him another present and I handed him a gift bag with the 3 tests in it. He was shocked/happy/surprised/overwhelmed/etc. We decided a few months ago to just let things take their course and see what happened. Well it happened...quicker then we thought it would.


We are so thrilled! My due date is September 19th. I'm excited and scared to have 2 under 2. Abigail will be 16 months old in September. Its going to fun to have them so close in age. Hopefully they will be close friends. Tommy doesn't want to know the gender so we're not going to find out :-/ I really want to know. I love to plan things and if I don't know if its a boy or a girl it will be hard for me to plan the nursery, the clothes, etc. But it will be fun and exciting to find out that day!



Here's to great and healthy 9 months (well only 4 months left!)


I have lots to post on Abigail's big birthday and turning a year old! I have lots of exciting things to share. I really need to start using this blog more often to keep track of our lives so we can look back on all of the great times.

11 months & walking!

"Oh my gosh...How old am I???"

" humm, are you sure the bear is not that old?" "Yippy...I'm a big girl!"

Yes, she most certainly is a big girl! Ladies and gentleman we have a WALKER! She is all over the house now. She started out with about 4 steps 2 weeks ago and now she walks 90% of the time. Check out the video below.

Her 11 month stats are pretty much the same as last month except the walking and a little more talking. She's pronoucing different letters now other than m, b, and d. She also understands directions very well. She's doing very well and we are so pround of her!

10 Months...a little late

It's so hard to believe my baby girl is already 10 months old (actually almost 11 months). When she was born it felt like her first birthday was an eternity away and now it's only 6 weeks away! She's growing up WAY too fast!

She weights about 21 lbs now according to our home scale. She's wearing size 9 month and 12 month diapers and size 3 diapers. We will be moving her to size 4 after this box is done.

She still only has 2 teeth. But that doesn't stop her from eating whatever she wants. Anything we eat, she wants to eat.

She's "talking" all of the time now. She says dada most of the time. She has said mama a few times. And she says ca-ca (for Cajun), Uh oh, and other gibberish. And she says "Mmmmm" after she takes a bite of something she likes. It's so cute.

She plays patty cake, waves bye bye, and blows kisses. She's learning new things everyday. I hoping she starts picking up on some the sign language we have been trying to teach her.

She loves her dog, Cajun, and being outdoors. I think she would sleep outside with him if we would let her. He always licks her in the face and she just giggles and giggles.

She loves drinking her bath water, which is gross. But it keeps her from standing in the tub so I let her do it.

She loves helping us load the dishwasher and load or unload the dryer. She's such a big helper.

She has been starting to do some not-so-nice things lately too. When she's tired of eating she will slap the spoon out of our hands and it slings food across the floor. And lately she's hasn't been wanting to sleep in her crib. She's sleep there for a few hours and then wake up screaming until we take her out of her bed and put her sleeping with us. We are stopping that SOON. I think we're going to try the cry-it-out method this weekend. Hopefully she catched on quickly.

I could go on and on about her. She is so much fun and brings a smile to everyone's face. We can't go down one aisle at the grocery store without someone stopping to smile at her. She's such a doll and we love her so much!

9 month Dr appt

Abigail had her 9 month appt last Friday. The doctor said she was growing well and he had no issues! I'm so thankful we have such a healthy little girl. I find that I blame myself alot when she is sick with a little cold but I need to realize that we are very blessed to have such a healthy and happy baby. Anyway here are her stats:
20 lbs 9 oz (75%)
55% in height
55% in head circumference

She's definately a growing girl!

Happy Valentine's Day
