19 Months Old

Abby is 19 months old and is far from being our baby anymore. She is a little girl and is growing more independent. She has all her baby teeth but four of the back molars. She is learning new words daily so we have to be even more careful about how we speak and the words we say! We have also started seeing some of our individual personality traits come through in her i.e. patience or lack thereof! If she can't reach something she gets very frustrated and runs away. She's started pushing the envelope to see how far she can go before we will get on to her about something. Most of the time she listens, but there has been a time or two that she's had to get a swat. Fortunately, she's sensitive like her mommy so usually we only need to give her a stern look when she's misbehaving. More changes and growth are on the horizon!

Much love,

Moises & Jennifer

Movie Night

 What a difference a week makes! Abby is feeling 100% better so we really enjoyed family time this weekend. Mommy also tried a new hairstyle for Abby, yes, that is a tiny little pony tail on that child's head! On Sunday night we had movie night with BB & Papa at our house. Usually, Abby doesn't get too into movies that aren't Shrek, but she got enthralled with the movie for a little bit, so mommy couldn't resist snapping this picture of daddy and Abby.

The dreaded flu...

 The flu is a nasty, nasty thing. Our little girl was diagnosed with the flu late Friday afternoon after her temperature had spiked to 103. We quickly had the prescription Tamiflu filled for her and started feeding her a steady diet of soup, fluids and snuggles. She hated the Tamiflu and it toook both of us to admister the liquid. She has not been the same since Friday and has been miserable for most of the last few days. Her fever finally broke Tuesday morning, but the coughing and sniffles are lingering. Other than daddy & mommy snuggles the only thing Abby enjoyed was watching cartoons in our bed. Hopefully, we have turned a corner and will have our sweet baby girl feeling 100% soon.

 

Much love,

Dancing to Cinderella



Cousin Connor joins the Airforce

On Saturday we went to dinner with Abby's cousin Connor. He is going off to San Antonio for basic training for eight weeks and then will begin his tour of six years with the Airforce. He is training to be an air traffic controller. We know he'll do great and we are very proud of him, but we'll miss him a lot!

Abby's Dance Moves

As you can see, Abby loves dancing...she doesn't like it when she figures out that mommy is recording her dance moves...

Cotton Bowl

This weekend we attended the 77th annual Cotton Bowl Classic at Cowboys Stadium. The Aggies and the Sooners were playing. We had an awesome time cheering on the Aggies and Moises & Armando were thrilled with the outcome. The Aggies pulled out a huge win with a 41-13 beating! What a great end to the football season for A&M. Next year, we are hoping the Razorbacks will return to the competition!

Much Love,

Cluck Christmas

Our final stop on the Christmas 2013 Express was at Papa & BB's house for Cluck Christmas. By this time Abby has really gotten the hang of opening gifts and we could hardly contain her when she saw the gift bags and all the tissue paper.

As usual, Abby was a bit timid around everyone, but uncle Alan was working her really hard trying to get her to warm up to him and he figured out her weakness....chocolate. Pretty soon they were bff's for the afternoon. Another great Christmas is in the books and we are more blessed than we can count.

Much love,

Moises & Jennifer
