20 Months Old!

Abby is now 20 months old and finally loves posing in her monthly picture. She was so great! As soon as we set the hat out she sat down next to it and started posing. Then, of course, she wanted to see the pictures after we snapped a few. She is really turning into a jokester and loves to tease us. She thinks it's hilarious when she splashes around in the tub to get us wet. Sometimes she laughs so hard she cries! It's precious.

Much love,

Snow Day with Daddy

Yesterday a big snow storm hit the Fort Smith area. We got over 5 inches of snow so most of the town was closed. Abby's school shut down around noon yesterday and remained closed today. Daddy & Abby stayed home together and had a blast watching movies, playing and snacking together. They had so much fun that this little girl fell asleep in this position for more than an hour! What a great day of daddy, daughter fun!

Much love,

Our funny Valentine

 Abby, our sweet valentine has fallen in love with shoes and clothes. Since she was about 8 months old we have let her choose her outfit every morning. Now, every night before bed she loves to just look at the clothes in her closet and try on different shoes and jewelry...definitely didn't take after mommy on this one! She loves going shopping for new clothes and we snapped the photo of her strutting around in a pink fedora.

 

 

 

This Valentine's day daddy was away in Dallas on business, but Abs and Mommy talked to him via face time. She even put the Valentine's stickers she got from a schoolmate on the screen where his face was. Mommy and Abby sure did miss daddy on Valentine's and can't wait to see him when he gets back!

Much love,

I saw Abby kissing...

Yes, that is Abigail kissing a boy in her class. Albeit, through plexiglass, it's not the first time we've been told and definitely not the last. Our girl is growing up way too fast. We'd hoped we would not have to worry about Abby being "twitterpated" for some time...oh well, one can hope.

Much love,

Weekend in Texas

We spent the weekend in Texas as we were making our final preparations to get our house on the market. Abby got to spend the weekend with BB & Papa while we worked our tails off. We did take a break from the work to have a nice family dinner on Saturday night and our little girl cheesed it up for the camera. We headed back to Arkansas on Monday after daddy & mommy wrapped up some business meetings and Abby passed out almost as soon as we hit the road. I guess it was a tiring weekend for us all!

Much love,
Moises & Jennifer

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.

Much love,
Moises & Jennifer
