Snapshots and Quotables

 A: I know that we can't go to Florida right now on an airplane, but I was thinking Mommy...do you think we can go to Nagymama's house on a rocketship? I think that would be a good idea.

Her innocent request to go visit her Nagymama almost made me call Nasa.

Hi Mom!

 Abby and Joe were having a disagreement one morning. After a few minutes, she jumps in with:

A: "Whoa whoa Daddy. Stop. Stop. Ok. Take a deep breath. Are you ready? Ok."

She's three, right? :)

...and the constant source of entertainment that is her big sissy!

Real friends take prego pics with you! Abby thinks we are crazy...and we kind of are. We love you Nichole!

a favorite activity: reading books in Mommy and Daddy's bed while we get ready in the morning

 One particular night, Abby was having a hard time falling asleep by herself and she was all but throwing a fit for me to stay with her. I told her that she had to try for a bit by herself because she was still rolling around and playing games. I left the room and heard: Dear God, I don't want to go to sleep by myself. Father (which she pronounces "Fava" like fava beans), will you please bring my mommy back to me?  In Jesus name, Amen. [God answered her prayer with a big ol' yes! ;)]

a favorite activity: crawling everywhere she can!
 "Did I hear my sissy's voice in there? Here I come!!!"

 Abby continues to find new ways to express her artistic-ness. Just the other day, she called me into the bathroom after she went potty and with the most genuine excitement told me to check out her latest masterpiece.

A: Look Mommy! My poopy looks like a dragon. That's the tail and those are his wings. I think that's the fire. I made a dragon!

[seriously, I was just thankful she saw it as dreaming up cloud forms rather than playing with it like paint. phew. close one.]

 Trick to keeping Abby the most focused on dinner is giving her sugar snap peas for a veggie. She opens each pod, takes out every pea and then eats them one by one. She gets very excited when I make "pea presents" for dinner.

tucking those knees under. I can't even imagine how the game will change when you are crawling on hands and knees. You are so fast already!
