We have enjoyed having Abby's aunt Becky and cousins Katie and Sierra down for Christmas. It is nice on the weekend to actually spend some time with them. I had a lot of people at work sick this week and I managed not to get it and bring it home so I was happy about that. Abby is rolling and rolling all over the place. We put her in an Exersaucer and she got so excited, she didn't know what to play with first. We should have a good time tomorrow morning. We are going to make cookies for Santa today. Merry Christmas to all our loved ones.

Yesterday we made it to the Christmas Parade. Abby lasted through about half of it and then she got hungry. It was pretty windy but was 70 degrees out. We also made a trip to Sam's Club and then Walmart today. She does pretty good in the store and I am always surprised. She likes to talk to people in the check out lines. She is really reaching out for things now. When I hold her she wants to hold whatever I am carrying as well. She also looks like she wants other things but I don't really know what she is eyeing. We got everything for our company that is coming. We can't wait to see them.

Muranda said Abby had a little bit of an upset stomach today but she seems to be doing good now. Abby is rolling over like crazy now. She was always rolling to the right but now can roll to the left as well. It makes it a little harder to get on the computer when she is trying to move off her play mat the whole time. We had Steph over earlier in the week for steaks and then went shopping at the mall with her last night. I also got a visit into the chiropractor which was nice. Abby was going to bed consistantly at 7 pm. That changed when Steph came over and she thought she might miss something. She cracks me up. Better let this do. I need to feed the little one. She has tried prunes and they made her left eye twitch. That was pretty funny. I guess they were soar for her.

Well I started to upload this blog and Abby rolled over again while I had my back turned. There goes the days of leaving her and knowing she'll be there when I come back. She knocked the mirror in our bathroom onto herself. Luckily it was light enough that it didn't bother her. Just freaked me out of course. She has been going to bed around 7 pm again and sleeping until 6 am. I guess she is growing and decided she needs the extra sleep. Tomorrow I am getting the mirror fixed on the van. Abby is starting to put her hands out to go to people. She puts her arms out for Muranda in the morning and that makes me feel good that she wants to see her. Our snow is melting but our pond is still low. I told one of my coworker is was like breakup but he didn't know what I was talking about. Oh well.

Today Abby and I got up around 7 am. She let me sleep in this morning. That was nice. We took a ride up to get out deer meat that was processed into summer sausage w/ cheese and burger. We were going to go to the Christmas parade but after 3 hours in the car I decided to bag that idea. My check engine light came on in the van. I guess I will see what that is about on Monday. Hopefully we can make it to the store and post office sometime this weekend. We got up to almost 50 degrees today. It is melting that 12 inches of snow so that is good. Congratulations to Angela and Jason on their baby boy, Cole! I am so excited for you. Abby has started to enjoy mirrors. She was talking to herself in the bathroom this morning. Not much else going on.

Abby wants to roll over so bad. And I love that she sticks out her tongue all the time. She has slept a lot the past couple days. Could she be going through a growth spirt again? We got quite a few plans this weekend. Hopefully Abby is ready to tour the Govenor's Mansion and go to the x-mas parade with me. It's suppose to warm up a little this weekend so that is good.

We have gotten back on schedule with icy roads. Grandpa came down to our rescue and plowed the driveway. That was after I smashed my mirror off of the van with the garage. Abby doesn't seem bothered by the snow one way or the other but she was glad to get away from the house too. Stephanie came to get us on Sunday so we weren't couped up that whole day. I fed Abby peas today and she really enjoyed them. I couldn't feed them to her fast enough as she kept sticking out her tongue for more. That third tooth hasn't come in yet. Don't know how long that will take since I didn't know when the first two started to come in. Abby is 5 months old today. She is still try to roll from her back to front but that arm is in the way.

We are still snowed in. I checked the county road and it has been plowed yet. Hopefully it will be by Monday so I can go back to work. Abby tried her first vegetable today. She tried Squash. Doesn't it look yummy? Abby has also been on the 4 wheeler with me as I try to pack down the snow on our driveway. They is dirt all over the floor from Yukon and me going in and out. Oh well. I have gotten somethings done around the house.

Snow Day!!!





We are bundled up today. I checked on the grill and got 11 1/2 inches of snow. Guess we will be here if anyone needs us. Abby seems to be getting a tooth on the top now. I stayed home for a couple hours yesterday because I thought she was sick but think it is just the tooth. She might have a minor illness but nothing she needs to go to the doctor for. She is still talking away. If anyone calls you will probably hear this constant gibbering in the background.

They were suppose to have the X-mas parade tomorrow but don't know if that will happen now. They have even closed some of the highways around here. I don't think the dog has went to the bathroom since last night but she doesn't know what to do with the snow either. Poor dog.
