"The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
--Erma Bombeck
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

Happy Birthday Abby!

It's still so hard for me to believe that our Abby is already 1!! She has got to be the sweetest thing around and we have absolutely loved having her in our family.
Here are some facts about our special girl:
*She loves to sleep and hates early mornings*
*She is a total pro at walking now*
*She's a sucker for anything soft*
*She loves macaroni and cheese, rice, pasta, and ice cream*
*She hates baby food, yogurt, and oatmeal*
*She doesn't like anyone dressed in scrubs or carrying a stethascope*
*She loves music and must stop whatever she's doing to dance a little*
*She is the fastest crawler around*
*She loves any and all animals*
*She can say "Mum", "Dad", "Sissy" and "Kitty"*
*She still has a ticklish bum*
*She loves to play peek-a-boo"*
*She hates all headbands, hair clips, hats, or anything else touching her head."*
(And can't stand to see anything on anyone else's head either!)

It was a total shocker that she actuall liked this headband!
We had her 12 month check-up yesterday and she's doing very well.
She weighs 21 lbs. 8 oz. And the doctor is very pleased with how well she's doing. We had to put her back on prevacid to help with her acid reflux, but other than that she's doing great!

Happy 1st Birthday Abby Anne!!
We love you sooooo much!!!
