Giddy Up

Abriella is always on the go... she is the fastest crawler I have seen and is getting increasingly better at walking. On this particular day, though, her preferred method of getting around was by pony.

On your mark, get set, go...

whoa, Nelly... ride em' cowgirl!!

it's all good...

uh... oh...

uhhhhh.....

Maybe I'll try again when I'm a little less dangerous.

So back to crawling and walking it is, I guess I'll save the little pink cowgirl hat for another ride.

Snow Days

All the snow melted today. It makes me sad because I love the snow, but it has been really cold so the 50 degree weather today was a nice change. Anyways, I thought I'd share Abriella's first (and second) snow experience. *Picture overload*









She loved it and we even attempted again the next day, but she and Eric popped their tube.

So... the next snow we decided to get a sled just for her.



and then the camera died...


oh, and have I mentioned... I love this baby girl

and she's getting so big

Miss Abriella had her ear tube surgery on Tues. It went as well as it possibly could have. The procedure was so quick I hardly had any time to worry. They discharged the goofball 15 min. after waking up from the anesthesia because she was jumping up and down playing her "uh-oh" game. I sure hope this works because they said that when they went to do the surgery she still had severe double ear infections. We had to wait awhile beforehand so of course I had to snap a few pictures to remember the wonderful occasion by...

Isn't that the cutest little gown you've ever seen (not!!)


The color is way off, I was having a terrible time getting it right with the lovely hospital lights.


She couldn't eat anything all morning so as soon as she woke up they gave her a bottle of apple juice and she guzzled it down like she hadn't eaten in days... then she crashed on the way home and woke up fully recovered :)

I'm so glad it's done and am praying for a healthy baby, finally!!

Little Miss Frankenstein

In just a few days Abriella has really started to get the hang of walking, although she is always good for a quick laugh... take a look.
