The many faces of Abigail

Today was fun. Abby and I went to Jessica's for a girls day. We had some pizza, cookies, and played scategories...which I'm horrible at. Afterwards, Abby and I had a photo session for a diaper contest...maybe we'll win a free one.

Abigail's first Halloween

Well, yesterday was both wonderful and....not fun, haha. I took Abigail to work in her little bear costume (well, it was really Meredith's...she let me borrow it). I decided that it wasn't girly enough, so, I put in two of Abigail's bows. I was so excited that I was finally able to use them, since, she doesn't have any hair. Work was fun, there were so many workers and kiddies in their costumes. After work, Lynda came down and we went to Old Colorado Springs for lunch (where else, haha). It was SO SO COOL!!!!!!!! All of the shop owners/workers were dressed up in their halloween costumes and handing out candy at their doorways. All of these families were going from shop to shop Trick or Treating. It was so cute to see all of these little kiddies in their costumes. It exactly how I always envisioned Halloween. Perfect Fall scenery and happy people running around.

After lungh, we came home and started a movie. Christian called, which always makes a day exciting! After a couple of hours, we started to get Abigail ready to go to the mall for Trick or Treating (mommy wanted free candy) and to meet up with Jessica and her family. Let me tell you, it is NOT what I expected. It was over crowded, almost everyone was indecently dressed (was I really back at FSU???), the employees were grumpy because they were stuck handing out candy, kiosk workers were still trying to sell their lotion and cell phone service, and people were shoving. Never again!!!!!! I think we'll return to the pleasant atmosphere of Old Colorado Springs next year where everyone is happy and polite!

We did manage to get a few pictures of Abigail, but, it was at the end of the day and she was quite grumpy, hehe. Still cute, though. You can see her formula mustache in one of the pictures. We had to keep her happy in those crowds somehow (no way was I breastfeeding in that mess!).

Tummy time and goodies

Yesterday I got a package from my mom with a few goodies. A new outfit for Abby, a blanket knit by my Great Grandmother (Mama Trick) and a pair of booties. The other pictures from today are of her doing a little bit of tummy time at home, which is rare, since Tupac enjoys leaping over her. I usually do this at work, where there are only other babies to beat her up.

My little Pumpkin

Even though Abby is still a little stuffy and sick, she's by far the cutest little pumpkin in the world. Here is a pictures from today before we left for work this morning.

Our weekend at Obasan's and Ogisan's

This weekend, Abigail, Tupac, and I drove up to see her grandparents. We had a lot of fun! Sadly, poor liitle Abigail caught a cold or something. She was so fussy on Sunday that I was nervous to get on the road, so, we stayed an extra day. She's feeling much better, but, still a little fussy. This morning while I was getting her ready for the drive home, she decided to tinkle all over the changing table and herself. I guess it was time for a bath, anyways. Does it make me a bad parent if I only give her one a week?

Oh, while were visiting we went to a children's consignment store and found so many things for Abby in the next size up. She's wearing her new hoodie three peice that we got for $10.00 in the pictures. They were taken a few moments ago..

Just a few pictures for my Dear Christian

Here are a few pictures from today. We did absolutely nothing other than tried for a few unsuccessful naps in order for mommy to be able to clean. The house is still a mess...
