Poor Baby!

Today, we went to play with Addie, Mimi & Kaki...Dada even came to see us during his lunch break. Abby was playing on the floor and was sitting. She fell over (which she has done before...no biggie) and this time her pacy was right where she landed. She cried more than normal so I picked her up. And she did the whole not breath for a second or two and turned red. The I calmed her down a little and gave her to dada. Then I saw the reddish drool fall onto dada's shirt. She was bleeding...my mind was like don't panic she's okay...but it is still really hard to see your baby crying and bleeding. She ended up busting her top gum...but I got her in the car to go home, and she fell asleep on the way home and she is still asleep as I type this.

That is all for now! Here is a picture from last week of Abby wearing my shades! She loved it!

2 posts in One day! That's Crazy!

On Wednesday, we had a fun day and played with our MiMi & cousin Addison. I know both of the girls slept very well that night, as Abby went to bed at 8pm and didn't get up until 8:30am - which NEVER happens! It was nice though! We had a fun day of stealing our cousins pacy, pulling our cousins hair, trying to eat our cousins hand, and playing with our scarf. We even went on a walk and both girls seemed to love it!!

I am not trying to brag, but maybe aside from her momma & daddy & grandparents...Addison thinks I am the coolest/funniest person EVER! What a huge compliment from a 5 month old cutie pie! I barely have to do anything and she laughs at me...maybe she knows that I'm her crazy & silly aunt yaya! At Addie's age Abby was far more selective with her laughs...and nothing makes me happier than a little baby having a nice belly laugh at my expense :-)

Anyways, here are some pictures from our visit.

A shot from above of these silly girls & their pacys!

Not so long ago, but seems like forever...these sweet babies have grown so fast!

Abby & Addie talking and MiMi enjoying it!

Abby: "I sure love to pull that black stuff on my cousin's head" :-)

Abby Shop-A-Thon

Last night Abby, Grandma, Aunt Cindi, Great Grammy & I ventured out to the Holiday Market. I knew this year would be different because last year we hadn't found out what "Bean" Marshall was yet. So we made it through the door and WHAM!! Baby clothes, baby shoes, hair bows....Oh My! Grandma got suckered (haha!) by Abby and now has alot of cute clothes. We got her a hippy-ish outfit that is pink with candy canes, a smocked red dress with santa on it, some Christmas Jammies, a new sippy cup, and the best deal of all was a 4 piece outfit from Smockaroo (i think that is the name) $40 for green gingham top, bloomers, pants, and pantaloons (sp?) and they even monogrammed onsite for only $6...so if you have kids or are aout to have one I would definately stop by this booth! Oh also my mom got Abs a hat with a flower on it, since we still can't quite hang onto a bow :-) I will post some photos later! But we did have a great time - Abby also flirted with boys (already...gheez!) and hammed it up for everyone we ran into! She is a funny girl!

That is all for now! Tootles!!

One Cool Wedding

This past weekend my college friend - sorority sister & former roomie - Alicia got married!! I was honored by being a bridesmaid...I had a great time!!

On Friday I went to the bridesmaid's luncheon @ Silver Spoon Cafe! It was soooo good to see everyone and so yummy! They got married at First United Methodist in old Cloverdale...that church is just gorgeous!! Of course, the weather got really chilly...and the reception was outside! Luckily I stole "borrowed" my friend Kelly's Chocolate Brown Ugg boots! Thanks again for "barting" with me to use your shoes! The reception was in the old train shed downtown...it was the most perfect location! They had an awesome band, great southern vittles and the BOMB pumpkin spice cheesecake...I want some more now! Where did it come from Alicia?? I must know...Ev wants it for his bday next year! Anyways, we had great night toasting the bride and groom! Congratulations to a wonderful couple!! YAY for Alicia & Adam Whitley!!

As far as Abby goes...she came to the wedding with my momma & Everett. She was in a beautiful baby blue smocked dress and her new white coat & matching hat! The sad thing was that everyone was telling me how beautiful she was and then when we got to the reception...Ev told me she had freaked out because of the train and her first time being outside in the cold...so she had already gone home with her Grandma! I was a little dissappointed, but I had a great time seeing and partying with old friends & new ones!!

That's all for now!!

6 Month Stats!

Today Abby had her 6 month appointment...We had a great time except for our shots :-( We got 4 including our flu shot, so 2 in each leg. She didn't cry for too long...I can definately tell she was way more aware of what was going on. I know that when she is older shot time will become alot more difficult. But we will cross that bridge when we get there. On to the stats...

Weight: 15lbs 13oz - 50%

Height: 28 1/4 - 97%

Head : 17 inches - 75%

She is my tall and thin girl :-) who loves her cereal and peas!! Abby is quite the talker and babbles all day long. Of course she says "baba" and "dada"...the only "mama" I ever hear is when she is ticked off. :-) Ironic huh???

I am joining the minor leagues of "baby wrangling" aka changing her diaper. I think Abby's "changing" table will officially become a dresser soon. I have had to resort changing her on the floor a few times :-) I have learned the art of putting a diaper on a kicking, squirming baby who is on their tummy...dressing her that way as well. The funniest part is that Abby is no fool...she knows exactly what she is doing! Whenever I try to turn her back over, she is smiling, laughing and just hamming it up!! We have knocked our wipe warmer on the floor numerous times and try to grab the diaper pail...she has definately made life fun & exciting and full of more love than I could have ever imagined!!

Tootles for now!! :-)

My BIG Girl!!

I am proud to say that my sweet angel starting sitting up on Thursday October 1st! Since we had her pictures coming up (see previous post) I was hoping she could do it, and she did! :-) She also has started wanting water and can handle a cup/sippy cup pretty well...of course half of the water ends up on her :-) haha!!

Then last Saturday we got lucky and had our friends Matt, Sara & Magda come into town! We were so excited to meet Miss Magda...her & Abby had a good visit. Abby was just in awe of Magda and her silliness when she crawls....I know Abby is ready to use the skills she learned :-) It was also nice to visit with her wonderful parents!

THIS WEEKEND!!! What a great weekend it was!! ...Friday night momma & daddy went to Harlequins Ball to see our cousin Anne be presented! She looked so beautiful and we had a great time! Aunt Cindi came and had a slumber party with Abby. She brought Abby a new toy and 2 books, one of which she tried to eat :-) Saturday we went over to our cousin Bobby & Katie's house to watch the Auburn game...even though we lost Abby had a great time! And got to meet her Auntie Layne...finally :-)

Wednesday is our 6 month appt...so I will update her stats then along with some pictures I took on her 1/2 year birthday!!

Tootles!!

Abby & Magda still in their jammies...please notice how much they look alike and how Abby is under her playmat from scooting backwards :-)
