Complete Obsession

I started reading a series by Stephenie Meyer. I was only able to get to page 24 until things got a little crazy around our house. Well, Monday I picked it up to start reading again and literally could not put it down! I finished the book (500 some pages) by 7 Monday night. I was so enthralled in the story that I had to have the next one. I ran to the store and had it in possession and reading by 8 pm.
Well, I had the book finished Tuesday night! So, this morning on my way home from the gym I was going to run into Walmart and grab the next book. I DIDN'T HAVE MY WALLET :( Talk about absolute disappointment!!!! Hopefully tonight I can go grab it!

But, if you are looking for a good read that has romance and adventure... Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is FANTASTIC!

Greatest husband!

On Sunday I was feeling a bit under the weather. So, my husband being the sweet man that he is, went out to grab a few groceries and some breakfast. When he got home he brought home my two favorite flowers... lily's and carnations. I am so lucky!!! Plus, he took care of Abigayl ALL day so I could sleep ALL day.


Bumbo

Last night we decided to break in the Bumbo seat. It is really nice to have a place where she can sit up! She tolerates her tummy time for only 5-10 minutes so this is a way to get her off her head. She seemed to like it... and that's all that matters!!!

I love it when she smiles
She's concentrating really hard!
She found daddy
She REALLY loves her daddy
One happy family
One VERY lucky wife!

Such a big girl!

Abigayl's grandma Linda gave this to us at the baby shower. Now, she is big enough to sit in it! It's crazy how fast time flies. She doesn't play with the toys by herself but I think she enjoys getting to sit up with out being held.

Time to play catch up!!

Well, it has been very busy the last week or two. I was blessed to have my entire family in Oklahoma with me for 5 whole days!!! Before coming to my house they went up to Kansas to visit Grandma and Grandpa. So, I drove up the two days that they weren't at my house!! It was a fantastic time and I hope it happens again soon... it was really sad going back to a quiet house.

As for Abigayl, she hit two pretty good milestones this past week. She rolled from front to back and she giggled. I'm excited that my mom got to witness both!


At Grandma and Grandpa's house

We went to Grand Lake for the day. We were able to play on the boat and jet skies. Darrin, Rachelle and I went for a pretty good run on the inflatable hot dog. It was loads of fun until I flew off and was forced to do the splits!! Good times any ways. It was great to be in the water even though it was like bath water. I guess that's what you get when it's over 100 for almost a week!!!
I baked Darrin a pumpkin pie for his birthday in Oklahoma.
After dark, Darrin, Rachelle, two of their kids, Rusty and I all went to the big park that is by my house. I was so happy because I have wanted an excuse for the past two years to go play on that thing!!

Rusty and I had to take advantage of the beautiful night we had. It had to be in the 70's with a nice breeze. So, we sat out on our front porch and just looked out at the night... I'm sure Abigayl enjoyed getting out of the house a little too!
My sweet girl!! We finally had to go in because the bugs were out in full force. It was nice to get to be outside with out feeling like I was melting though.

2 month appointment

Today was Abigayl's 2 month check-up. That means she had to have the dreaded shots :( I couldn't help buy hold back some tears when she started crying from the needle pricks. ouchy. She recovered really well and was happy as a clam once I started talking to her and held her.
It never seems very comfy when they take the head circumference measurement.
She is my little chunk! She weighs 13 1/4 - 13 1/2 now... she started at 7 lb 3 oz!!! She is now 23 in.... that is 3 1/4 in longer.... I think she is getting too big!!
I had to get a picture with her... I love this girl!!
So pretty... just hanging out on the table looking cute.
She was smiling but I caught a tongue picture!

Sunday Best

This is an outfit that her aunt Marcy got her. I have been waiting for her to fit in it! The company, Mud Pie, make some of the cutest baby clothes that I have ever seen! So, now she fits in it and I thought it was the perfect church outfit. Marcy bought the matching shoes but they were 0-6 month and they were WAY to big.



After church, we went to Chili's for lunch. Abigayl did great... she let me eat my lunch before she wanted out of her car seat. Even though she had missed a nap time and was close to her feeding time, we decided to check out Children's Orchard. I'm glad we did... we picked up a bunch of new clothes at prices that could not be beat! I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter... she puts up with a lot of shopping trips!!
