Abby's first lollipop

We let Abby have a few licks of her first lollipop, lets just say she LOVED it! She knew exactly what to do and when we decided she had had enough, she cried. She was licking that lollipop like she had done it a thousand times. These pics really speak for themselves.

Abigail's Dedication

We had Abigail dedicated on October 11th and G & G Schaad were able to come. It was really a nice day and we got to eat waffle breakfast!

Abigail is wearing the dress I wore when I was dedicated.

After church G & G Schaad made brunch for all of our friends. We had Dad's homemade waffles and ice cream and Pam's cheesy potatoes were a huge hit too. We are so glad that G'pa and G'ma could come and share this special time with us. Everyone really liked meeting my parents and having a full belly, which my dad loves doing, he would never miss an opportunity to fill someones tummy with waffles, that's what the Schaads do!!

G'pa and Abby chillin' out after the brunch.

We can't thank you enough for all of your help for Abby's dedication. It would not have been as cool without you there. Your brunch was a hit, our friends want to know when you are coming back. We love you!

Grandpa and Grandma Schaad Visit

Grandpa and Grandma Schaad came to visit Abby at the beginning of October and they stayed for a week. It was a really nice visit and they were here for Abigail's dedication (another post on that later). We spent the week doing pretty low key things since Abby and I had been sick. Poor Abby had a double ear infection and the swine flu. I must say she was a really good baby for being so sick. Grandma Pam met Abby for the first time and it was love at first kiss. They really bonded over the week. We went for lots of walks and Grandma really liked feeding Abby her lunch and dinner.

Pam and I got to go shopping, get coffee and we got pedi's. We did some relaxing when we could too.

Pam and Lilly got close this week too, they both have a love for curling up on the couch!

Adam and my Dad went to an air show and had a really good time.

Abby stole Grandpa's heart all over again.

I think we spent most of the week just playing with Abby and watching her test her limits. The week G & G Schaad were here Abby was pulling up in her crib and was starting to crawl, more inching like a worm but she was starting the crawling process.

We had a really nice time with G & G Schaad, a week was too short! Can't wait to see you at Christmas.

Happy Halloween

We have had fun this last week getting ready for Halloween. We carved pumpkins at our small group and we had trick or treat at Adam's work today. We did a little photo shoot with Abby which turned out to be a little challenging now that she can crawl, but she is still a cute Tigger. I dressed up too, as a cat. We had a great time! Hope you all have a good Halloween with lots of cute kids at your door doing tricks for candy.

Abby's New Tricks

Abby has been trying out some new tricks lately. She can stand up in the crib and crawl. She found it more interesting to play and stand up than to go to sleep, so we had to take her fun away and we lowered the crib. She has been crawling for about a week but we just got this video yesterday. She is camera shy and every time we get the video going she stops doing her tricks.

We have had a really busy month so be looking for a couple more posts, including our visit with Grandpa and Grandma Schaad and Abby's Dedication.

Happy B-day Aunt Sarah
