8 Months... hard to believe!!!

Today we celebrated 8 months with Abby. She is finally starting to feel better. Now, we just need her to start sleeping through the night again. Let's see, I'll try to fill you in all the latest on our little "pumpkin." As usual, I will try to do it with a photo because we know that's why you visit the blog. :)

We are so excited about our first Christmas with Abby.
She may not realize what is going on, but she loves the trees
and lights that are everywhere.
We have even put a little one in her room.
Phoebe has been making sure nothing happens to it.

We got all bundled up for the Jefferson City Christmas Parade.
She really liked watching everything go by. She even got a
Santa hand puppet out of the deal.


We have also enjoyed spending time with Aunt Tiffany and
Baby Ben. When Abby isn't trying to grab Ben to chew on him,
she is holding his hand. How sweet!


Abby looks so excited to have a present. I love
the look on her face in this one!


She has been practicing pulling up lately.


This is what we saw the other day when we were
working on something in the nursery. We lowered
the mattress that night.


Trial run for the Christmas dress. She still wanted to
chew on it. This should be fun.


She loves the new way she gets to ride around now.
However, Christmas shopping was wearing thin on
this particular day.


Big News for the month!!!

That's right, folks! We almost have a cruiser on our hands.
She is getting better about getting into the crawling position. We joke with Uncle Tim and say that her transmission and alignment need adjusting. She will usually scoot back and to the side when trying to crawl. She rolls and sits up and rolls more to get where she wants to be. It wears us out watching it, but she likes practicing.

Looks like the Wii is in trouble,
as many, many other things around the house!
(Note the Weapon of Mass Destruction in her hand.)
