Go State!

Thanks to Uncle Dave, Abigail has her very own cowbell to use as she cheers for the Mississippi State Bulldogs.  She used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and LOVED it!  I was so proud.  Here are a few pictures and a short video of the cowbell's debut.  

***I'm so sorry the video is sideways.  I can't figure out how to rotate it, so just turn your head to see it.  I'll know for next time not to turn my camera while videoing. ***

10 Months Old!

Hello Blog World Friends, it's Abigail.  I turned 10 months old this week so it's time for my monthly post.  Mommy and Daddy got my frog picture in one take believe it or not.  I decided to cooperate this time, mainly so they would let me back down to play.  These next couple of pictures are Daddy's idea of a good time.  I did not think this was funny.  See if I cooperate as well next time Daddy!

Great Grammy and Great Uncle Danny came for a quick visit this week on their way through town.  It was so good to see them again.  I was only one month old the last time we were together so they couldn't believe how much I'd grown.  

Wednesday at lunch I decided to cover my hands in my baby food and rub them through my hair.  Not sure why I did this, but it was awfully fun and got a stir out of Mommy.  She seemed mad at first but then laughed and took pictures of me.  Note to self: baby food works as a great alternative to hair products.

Now that I am 10 months old, Mommy and Daddy expect me to earn my keep around the house.  They have put me to work and so far I am helping out with the laundry, .....

....and with paying the bills.

Who knows what they will ask me to do next?  They'll probably expect me to start walking on my own or something crazy like that.  

Thanks for checking in.  

Love,

Abigail

We apologize for the delay...

... Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.  

I've been a blog slacker. It's been several weeks since our last blog post and it is time to play catch up.  We've had a busy, but fun, few weeks.  We celebrated Madison's (Abigail's cousin) fourth birthday early this month and had a great time at her Princess and Pirate birthday party.  Unfortunately I did not get a picture of the birthday girl at her party.  She was busy bouncing around and I was busy keeping up with Abigail.  

Princess Olivia and Princess Abigail practicing with their crowns the night before the party. 

Princess Abigail enjoying watching all of the big kids. 

The crown didn't stay on for long, so this was the only picture we have with it.

After the party, Abigail and I headed to Jackson for Labor Day weekend and football season kickoff at Coach and Nana's house.  We made it in time to see most of the Mississippi State game.  Abigail cheered the Bulldogs to victory even though she accidentally left her cow bell in Birmingham.  

Bulldog fan from top to bottom!

After a quick wardrobe change, Abigail and Joshua were ready to cheer for the Tide.  Although they didn't make it through the whole game, they had a great time watching the first half.  Before the end of the season, they'll know what an elephant says......"Roll Tide!"

These babies LOVE their Aunt B!
Cute cousins!

Joshua let Abigail have a turn with Aunt Mil.

I think these two have Nana wrapped around their fingers. 

Last weekend Chad and I headed to Beaufort, South Carolina leaving Abigail behind for the first time.  She was in good hands with Nana and did great without us.  We definitely missed her but really enjoyed our time away with good friends.  We celebrated the wedding of Chad's good friend Matt and his new wife Erica (Matt is the one on the left in the picture below).  This was the only picture we took the entire weekend, but really says it all.  These guys love getting together and usually end up spending most of their time laughing about stories from college.  Being spread out in four different states means they don't see each other often enough.  Now that they are all married, we'll have to come up with other reasons to get together.  Hope it's soon!
