Sometimes the cure to a bad mood is...

...wearing green goggle/sunglasses and a long lost pacifier! Abby and I have both been sick this week. She was feeling better yesterday but has been fussy and stuffy nosed again today. Her mood improved greatly when I helped her put on these shades:

^ Sweet! I haven't seen this for ages. (She hasn't used a pacifier since she was about 9 months old or so! She found this one somewhere...and did not care to give it to me.)

^How do I look? Pretty cool huh?

^Oh yeah!

Once again I have learned, you do not mess with a grouchy toddler. If the toddler wants to use a pacifier they mysteriously found in their room, then let them! (And toss it out when they fall asleep! Teehee!)

Owwies!

Abigail had her 18 month appointment today and she got 2 owwies! (Shots!) She was not pleased. In fact she hated the whole appointment. The screaming began at the scales.
Here are a couple of photos I took before the appointment, and also a growth chart I made, which will probably be BORING as heck to most people, but I find it very interesting. I know at least Jeff & Granny will like it too! :-D

Huh? Whatchoo want?

Pictures? Ohhh, ok ***cheesy smile***

Big head, huh? Hehee

18 months old now!

Abigail turned 18 months old on August 16! Time flies. Her doctor's appointment is tomorrow, I will probably post another update then with her growth stats. For now, here are a few pictures!

Abigail loves to play in the clothes basket. In this photo she was asking the pugs to get in and join her. She asks Jeff & I to get in too. Everyone, get in!

Gasp! "Mom...you did NOT just cut my bangs this short!" Yes, yes I did.

Weeee! Wearing daddy's shoes is fun!

A small victory, but I'll take it

A small victory was made today in the battle to get Abigail to eat vegetables. I was successful in getting her to eat approximately 4 pieces of sliced cooked carrot by smashing them in with her chef boyardee spaghetti. Woo! This girl REFUSES to eat veggies for the most part. This really stresses me out. I mean, she appears to be healthy, good weight, etc, and the doctors have never said otherwise at her appointments, but still! She is also picky about fresh fruit.


So I was happy with this small victory. Earlier in the week she ate a few bites of broccoli and cauliflour, with salmon and wild rice. That was a good day.

And now, some pictures! Not of the carrot eating though. Instead, first a few from our recent trip to the zoo. Then a few of just Abigail.
