January 31, Daddy Is A Jungle Gym

When Brad is home, he is a human jungle gym. If Brad is carrying Alex on his back or shoulders, Abby is chasing around after them. She wants to rough house as much as Alex does!

January 30, Keeping Up With The Big Kids

Abby loved checking out all the action at ice skating today. She wandered all over the lobby before class and watched from the bleachers during class.

January 29, Need To Keep Camera In A Different Spot

I obviously need to keep the camera in a different room of the house as these are the only photos I ever seem to take! Last night Cassie climbed on the coaster for a little fun herself :)

January 28, Trouble Trouble

Luckily this time the roller coaster wasn't positioned at the top of the track. There have been a few times in the past few days though where Abby tries to do this herself and it doesn't go very well.

January 27, The Fluffy White Stuff

We did enjoy seeing the grass this past weekend and the entire deck. Mother Nature kindly put us back in our place today.

January 26, Today's Photo Of Zen

Abby commandeered Alex's leftover bowl of Apple Jacks this morning and apparently it was just pure, sugary bliss!

January 25, Abby's Playdate

Jaydon came over to play today while his Mom and Dad were at the hospital welcoming baby #2 a few weeks early. I think he'll be a pretty good big brother :)

January 24, Cleaning Out The Cabinets

Another thing that I do not remember Alex doing at this age (although I'm sure he did...). Infinite toys and this is what she does everyday!

January 23, She Doesn't Get A Bowl Anymore

Since she would just dump the bowl on the floor to eat her snack, we've decided to skip the middleman and put the snack right on the floor.

January 22, Lots Of Inevitable TV Watching In The Winter

January 21, She Needs To Learn

He is not a stuffed animal.

January 20, Because He's Fun To Climb On

Clearly this was right after she woke up, as Alex and I had not yet "re-baby proofed" the living room area (note open basement door and bathroom gate on floor). After I took this picture I'm sure that was my next move because she is fast!

January 19, Rody In The Tent

I let Alex take today's picture. He had his Thomas the Train tent out in the living room and shoved Rody (his bouncing horse) inside the tent. This was hilarious to him.

January 18, Just Hanging Out With The Big Kids

Abby really wanted to do arts and crafts today with Alex and Vanessa. She settled for munching on their dropped snacks instead :)

January 17, Only One Of Us Is Four

January 16, She Is His Biggest Fan

Best Friends Forever.

January 15, The Big Switch

Switching Abby from formula to whole milk began on Monday and went off without a hitch. She's still getting used to drinking "cold" milk but is drinking as much of that as she was of the formula for about 1/10 the price each week :)

January 14, Our Hallway During Winter

I clean this up at least twice a day :)

January 13, Because Sometimes You Just Need Pockets

January 12, Just Chillin, Chillin, Minding Her Business

She kind of likes TV right now, especially those Baby Einstein movies!

January 11, That Door Just Jumped Right Out At Her

Just in time for her 12 month check-up.

January 10, A Cowboy At Heart

We tried to tell him to put the boots over his fleece pants but he didn't listen. I think in this ensemble they just look a little like high heels!

January 9, Party Time!

January 8, Sweet Memories

Remember when Alex had that little navy blue baby doll stroller that he would run with up and down the sidewalk? I think he's reverting back to his toddler days while playing with Abby's stroller! That little blue stroller only recently met its demise by the way. It was a durable little thing!

January 7, Fun in the Snow

Is it more fun to be buried in the snow or buried in sand at the beach? My vote is the beach everytime!

January 6, Please Mom, Please!

Abby LOVES riding on the new roller coaster. She needs help getting on (although she does try to do it herself) but knows to hold on and pick up her feet. Her smile runs from ear to ear when she rides this. Too cute!

Jan 5, The Face of Frustration

Trying to keep the balls from popping up from the ball popper.

Jan 4, 2010 Happy Birthday Abby!

Simply...cannot...believe...she is 1!!

Late Night Photo

Good Night!

Love, Alex, Baby Jaguar, and Giraffey Boy

Jan 2 Truck Parade

Starting off our Saturday morning with a little truck parade action!

Wii Fit, January 1, 2010

Wii Fit just told Alex his body age is 28. That d0es not make any sense. I can't wait to see what it says about us old folks!
