Go Joe!

Abigail is getting into everything these days. We use to be able to put her on the rug and she would play there for 20 minutes, now we sit her down she is all over the place. She is doing some fancy belly Gi Joe army crawl and able to go backwards a lot easier than forwards. She will sit there and rock back and forth until she gets s the courage to make a go for it.

Sick Day

Today the daycare called me about 10:30 AM and told me that Abigail had a temp of 101, vomiting and had diarrhea. Jason went to pick her up and brought her home, and I met them at the house so that Jason could go back to work. I fed her normal bottles today and she held all her food and her temp was gone pretty quickly. I told her that she was faking so that she could spend the afternoon with her mama. We rented the movie, Did you hear about the Morgan’s from the red box. Abby enjoyed it just as much as she would have a cartoon or child’s movie. We played all afternoon and she was just as smiley as ever. I think she is learning how to play sick so she can spend more time with her mama. hehe

Zhu Zhu

Abigail loves her Zhu Zhu pet. We were talking about these at work last week and I wanted to find one that wasn’t the actual color of a hamster. Something about one that looked like an actual hamster was a little creepy to me. Ms. Angie from work got this for her. She got it for her as an Easter gift, but we had to go ahead and give it to her. Jason opened it out of the pushed it’s back and off it went. We sat her on the kitchen floor and she just watched it go around and around. When it would come towards her she would laugh. Every once in a while she would pick it up and of course it went towards her mouth. I would push its nose and she would giggle at the noises. Zhu Zhu pet was a success! Package said ages 3 and up, however Abby loves it! Of course she will only get to play with it under adult supervision though.

Abby's new ride

We were testing out Abigail’s new car seat today. We haven’t put it in the car yet, but we tried it out in the living room. I think that she liked it and that it will of course give her a lot more room. The car seat we currently have only goes to 22 lbs, and I’m pretty sure she is about 20 lbs. Even if she wasn’t at the weight requirements she has met the height requirements and I can hardly get her in and out of the car. I have said it a couple of weeks now that I was going to put it in the car, however I think keeping her in the infant carrier makes me feel like she is still such a little girl. She is growing up way to fast! Hopefully I will be able to post picture soon of her in this car seat in the actual car.

Accidents happen :-(

Abigail had her first incident report written up about her at daycare. She had a little kiss from the book shelf. She is starting to crawl and doesn’t always realize that she has to put her hands out in front of her when she wants to get somewhere. The teacher in her class said that she felt over and hit her little head on the book shelf, she kinda paused, and turned her head and looked at the teacher and was probably thinking, “did you see what that book shelf did to me?” the teacher came over and asked her if she was ok and she started crying. The teacher said she gave her a hug, put a cool rag on her head and she was fine in a matter of a couple minutes. Precious little girl, I know this is only the beginning of what is to come with accidents and I know that mommy can’t be there for all of them. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Abigail had such a wonderful St. Patty’s day! I first off was so happy that she wore her green outfit all day long. She often has to have a change of clothes half way though the day. The daycare had a St. Patty’s party and all the babies wore green that day. I was happy that none of Abby’s boyfriends pinched her – I know that it won’t be to long that they are going to try. She is such a sweetheart!

um no

Uh… I don’t think I want to wear this hairbow anymore mommy

Ducky Time!

Abby loves bath time! We have been given her more baths lately so she stays up a little later. She is usually ready to go to bed at 7:00, so I am trying to give her baths at 7:00 to push her bedtime a little later.

She loves her new ducky blow up bathtub! If you push the beak it quacks and she will laugh. She has so many bathtub toys but her favorite are 2 cups that came with her bathtub. She has learned to put water in them and turn the cup over. She has so much fun in the tub!

almost germ free!

I think the Spencer household is almost germ free! Abby is feeling so much better. She was able to hold her normal formula for the 1st time in over a week this morning. She also had her normal breakfast and held it. I couldn’t be happier. It is so pitiful when she is sick. She truly doesn’t complain but her little eyes let me know she isn’t feeling well. So we are hoping to stay away from the pediatrician’s office until her 9 month appointment in April. Thank you everyone for your prayers!

Feeling much better!

I’m so glad this little girl is feeling so much better! This picture was taken on Tuesday...she was so pitiful while she was sick, as you can see above, however she never stopped smiling and she didn't complain. We still have 6 days of antibiotic left, but she is definitely feeling so much better!
