The Life of Abby

Abby told me to say "Cheese". I got the camera so she could say "Cheese."
Swimming diapers on the head. What a fashion statement!!

Smiling away!!

Dwyer eating carrots.

Mom's birthday have come and gone. Thank you for the wonderful gifts. Dwyer has started eating his cereal. He has tried rice and oatmeal cereal. He did a whole body shiver for green beans. I don't think he was a fan but loves the carrots. He ate a whole jar the first night.
Dwyer is trying to sit up. He rolls all the time now. He even is starting to reach for you when you go to pick him up.

Abby cracked me up the other day. She was in the bathtub and she splashed the water with her hand. She proceeded to put her hand in time out. She said to her hand, "Go to timeout, you splash the face, say you're sorry, I'm sorry, thank you, I love you." I guess she understands timeout. I have seen her on a couple more times put her hand in timeout. It just cracks me up.

Correction Abby says "Onca ponca time." I was trying to remember when I won't the blog but had to hear her say it again to get it right.

Abby was reading to Dwyer. On every page she turned to she said "Onca pona time." Dwyer is getting good at holding up that head. He even did a full roll. Back to front and then front to back. I have also tried him on some rice cereal. He seems to like it. His cough is completely gone and I have 2 healthy kids. Thank goodness.

Dwyer rolled over




Dad and Dwyer sleeping. He said he was watching football. I beg to differ.
Well we enjoyed Dad home for the holidays and uncle too. We have also enjoyed the days off. Dad made some awesome ribs in the smoker yesterday before he left. Abby didn't try the leftovers. Man she was missing out.
Dwyer has been getting better with his cough. He had his 4 month check up last Friday. He is 16 lbs. 4 oz. and 25 inches long. The doctor said she was not worried about asthma after hearing his lungs again. We will keep him on the nebulizer for one more week and then he should be good to go.
Abby's potty training has been going good. Slow and steady will win the race. Or at least I hope. Today she said to the toilet, "Bye bye poo poo I love you." It just cracks me up. She also has been using the phrase "It's perfect!!" and at dinner, "It's delicious."
Abby has been a normal big sister. She has started sitting on Dwyer and he just puts up with it. Crazy kids.

Christmas Day


Christmas morning

The new 4 wheeler



Abby was very excited about Christmas this year. Abby helped Dwyer open his gifts. He was fine to just watch her. Abby was so excited about her 4 wheeler but when it came to riding it outside she wanted to go on Dad's. Her new saying is "It's Wonderful!" Like when she went mudding with Dad on the 4 wheeler and the mud splashed up from the puddle. "It's Wonderful" she said.









We have enjoyed the holidays. Dwyer has a cough but it doesn't seem to be upsetting him to bad. On New Year's Eve, Dwyer rolled over. Watch out Abby, Dwyer is on the move. We let Abby say up on New Year's Eve. We put her to bed at 11:30, she might have stayed up longer but don't know how long. Every time she started to get tired she'd start running around. I made it to midnight. It's been a long time since I've been up that late. We enjoyed family X-mas on Dad's side on New Year's Day. Thank you for all the gifts for the kids.
