Abby's 18-Month Photos...

My super talented friend Ashley took these gorgeous photos of my baby girl for her 18-month photos. I think they turned out amazing!

Family Photos...

I decided it was high-time we get some new family photos taken and my amazing bu Ashley was more then happy to be our photographer! I love how these photos turned out, thanks bud!

18-Months Old!

Abby girl is already 18 months old and she is a hoot! Every day she is making me laugh and I can't believe how silly she is. Just the other day she had this long, drawn-out yawn that just made me laugh and once she noticed that she just kept yawning and yawing just to get me to laugh, it was one of the cutest things ever! She follows me around everywhere (and maybe it's because I work and I don't get to see her as much as I like) but I love it! She as mastered climbing in and out of her crib and now she can climb on top of her changing table. I swear she would climb on the roof if we let her. She is amazing and beautiful and just the best thing to ever happen to us!

Getting too big for her crib!

Whether I like it or not my baby is growing up. You would think she would need her mom's permission but not so. It's been really fun because every night Matt will read to me and Abby (right now we are reading Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief). Abby is not one to just quietly lay in her bed and listen to her daddy reading, so usually we just let her lay down by us on the floor and when she needs to run off some energy she can do so. Well last night she had a bit too much energy cause she was non-stop. Half-way through the reading we started to notice that Abby was very determined to climb into her crib. We both didn't think she would be able to do, and then just like that she did! What a smart girl!

My little climber, lol! She sure surprised us!! (7/2/2012)

Well if it wasn't enough for her to climb into her crib she decided it was time to climb out! As you watch the video it looks like she falls right on her back but there was pillows and stuffed animals so it actually wasn't as bad as it looked though it did scare us pretty good! (7/2/2012)

We weren't sure what to do now that our little girl can both climb into her crib out and out of her crib now. I had raised the "bars" as high as they could go and was worried that this meant Abby would have to get a big girl bed, and between you and me I knew she was not ready for one. Well my mom suggested we lower the mattress but I didn't even think it could do that. Well leave it to the wisdom of those who have done it before cause I was able to lower the mattress and keep Abby in her crib for at least a couple more months, lol.

Our Father's Day!

We had an amazing Father's Day yesterday! It's not too hard when you get to celebrate one of the greatest people in your life. I really can't imagine where I would be or what I would be doing if I hadn't met Matt. I know one thing for sure is I wouldn't be married to my best friend and I wouldn't be blessed with being the mother of the greatest little girl ever. And when it comes to being a father Matt is by far the greatest one I know. He is patient, he is kind, he is a teacher and helper, he is everything a little girl needs in a dad and we both love him so much!

We started off the morning by having Matt open up the present me and Abby got him. I think Abby was more excited then me for him to open it, lol. I was going to wrap it up it cute paper and go all out but with Abby being sick the last couple of days (fever and blisters, poor baby) I was too tired so thus the beautiful brown wrapping paper.

This is a new favorite picture of mine, my two loves!

I drew this picture of Matt holding Abby (the photograph is from Matt's birthday last year, Abby was 9 months old) and have been waiting several months to give it to Matt. I thought Father's Day would be the perfect day to give it to him. He was super surprised, it was great! Abby likes it too, lol!

The day itself was pretty chill. With Abby having a fever the last couple of days we decided she better not go to church and get other kids sick so instead Matt went to church alone but came home to blueberry muffins (his favorite) and a nice clean house! Later that day we had a BBQ with my sister and mom and had a blast!

Abby's New "Water-Park"!

We bought this for Abby last week and she loves it! It's been so hot these last couple of days we've been using it almost every day. I think she is in heaven!
