February Pictures

It is hard to believe, but Tyler is 8 weeks old now, and I will be returning to work on Monday. Although I will be glad to have some adult time and quiet car rides, I will miss being home terribly. Pray for me as I make this transition back to the working world. I know Abby and Tyler are in excellent hands with Mema and Aunt Nan, so that makes it easier!
Tyler continues to grow and change everyday. He is now smiling and making cute little noises. He is a VERY big boy! I can't wait until our next check-up to see just how much he weighs. Abby is still talking up a storm, and is using words like actually, never mind, and probably. My new favorite expression from her is "It is sure is sunny out here!" She is hilarious. She has really enjoyed Mommy being home because we get to go to story time at the library every Friday morning with Miss Pam and her frog puppet Tony. I wish I could take her every Friday morning!
Here are some pictures of our cuties. The first few are of Abby in her chef outfit compliments of her Grammy Nan. The ones towards the end are the result of a bag of mini M & Ms. I actually took two of those pictures at a stoplight because she looked so funny!

All For Abigail

As a new mommy (again!) I often get caught up in the busy-ness and new-ness of Tyler and neglect to do many updates on Abby. Even though we are having our jealousy/attention issues since his arrival, she actually has not taken it out on him. In fact, she can be a good little helper (when she is in the mood, after all, she is 2 with all the attitude that comes with!). I have to take a moment to tell you about a couple of "mommy" moments I had with her today that just made me chuckle. Abby often tries to comfort Tyler when he is crying in the car. She sounds like my little parrot. It's like a little Amy in the car seat back there. We often call Tyler a chunky monkey because he's well, you know, chunky. I had to crack up tonight when we were riding home and Tyler is screaming. Abby kept repeating "It's okay chunky boy!" in her sweetest mommy voice. It was the cutest thing! Also tonight we were trying to leave my parents' house and I was pretty frustrated with her because she was refusing to put on her coat. Finally, she hopped over to me, looked up at me with those beautiful eyes and in her most serious voice said "I a jumping kangaroo, mommy." How can you be mad after that?
