Blue Romper_2

Growing up everyone told me that I looked like my dad. I hated it. What girl wants to be told that she looks like a man? As much as I have been in denial over it, AB is looking more and more like her father everyday. She sure makes a cute girlie version of him though.

Blue Romper

AB is the most talkative in the morning time. This past Sunday morning while LB was trying to get ready AB laid in her lay and play by her daddy and made sounds. LB eventually gave up getting ready and sat with AB and the camera. We just can't pass up on great opportunities like this. I am constantly reminded by her pile of clothes she has already outgrown that she will never be same again and I can never have this moment back again. We were a little late to our Sunday morning meeting, but it was worth it.

Random AB Pictures

Holding AB just before her bath time is a dangerous thing to do. KB is walking on the edge...although in this photos she is for some reason wearing one, usually under her little pink polka-dot robe she does not wearing anything - no diaper. KB has NEVER gotten peed or pooped on. Maybe one day, just maybe.

Tummy Time with Daddy

AB is doing her tummy time while her daddy works on the computer

As you will hear me say in this video, I hate tummy time. I know that she must struggle in order to gain strength and develop new motor skills. I still hate it.

I am trying to hide the camera behind one of her toys since usually once she sees the camera she will just stare at it and stop doing whatever cute thing I am trying to catch on camera.

Mommy Hanging Out with AB

Hanging out with Daddy

Just before bedtime AB often hangs out with her daddy in her parent's bed so that mommy can get AB's room cleaned up (take out the trash & put away clothes) before she goes down for the evening. AB loves spending time with her daddy. He makes her laugh.

Birthday Omelet

To use up the leftover chicken soft taco toppings from LB's birthday party (cheese, rice, onions, tomatoes, and peppers) we made omelets. Did we mention that LB was awesome at making omelets? They were huge! Do you see the steam coming up from it? We also watched her favorite TV show (on DVD) - American's Funniest Home Videos.

Pretty Dress

Since AB will be too big for this dress any day now I decided to try and get a good photo of her in it. She was not cooperative, but she sure is cute.

At McDonalds

On the morning of LB's actual birthday we went to McDonald's for a tasty pancake breakfast. KB caught LB and AB people watching.

Kevin's Notebook

Yet another example of a company who felt so confident in their English that they decided not have a native English speaker proofread their product before printing a gazillion of them. It says "Motivate higher office efficiency." Gosh if a notebook can really do that then everyone should have it! By the way this notebook is junk. It fell apart at the seams in just a week.

Potato Chips Anyone?

These are Lays "Finger Licking Braised Pork Flavor" potato chips. We have not tried them yet. Usually the meat flavored ones are not good.

Birthday Candle?!!!

For my birthday KB gave me 2 dresses that he picked out all by himself. They both fit and they are beautiful! He also sneaked over to our American friend's apartment on Friday afternoon to make a cake. Neither of these guys had ever made a cake before, much less a double layer chocolate cake with sprinkles. They did awesome, and they were so proud of it. KB also made us a chicken soft taco dinner that included chicken, tortillas, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro, rice, queso, Doritos, and soda. He also cleaned the apartment. My husband went all out! I was so impressed.

The cake before it was unwrapped.

This video is one second long - literally. It is of me trying to light my birthday candle. I was a bit scared since it looks like a firecracker, but our friend reassured me that the folks here use these all of the time. That should have been my warning. We stuck it in the bottom of a paper cup because my friend said he was unsure if it was clean. We did not want to ruin the cake they had worked so hard on.

I don't know why these videos got broken up, but this video starts about one second after the first video ended. I don't know how I survived. The candle I actually did blow out is a # 2 candle, but KB drew an 8 over the bear to make it a 28 for my 28th birthday. You may have to look close to see it.

He Really Does Exist

Someone accused me of using an old photo of Toby on our blog. I think they thought we got rid of him and used the old photo to try to prove we still have him. Therefore, below is AB with Toby. AB is pulling on her frog that plays music. Although she has been doing this for about 2 weeks now, we are still not tired of hearing it's song. She is so talented!

AB Catching Some Rays

I know there are a ton of photos just like these on our blog, but AB's grandparents love them...who wouldn't?

Birthday Lunch

After bowling we went out for a birthday lunch. Although it looks like we are outside, we actually took these photos inside building we ate lunch at, and the tree behind us is not real. It does look good for pictures though.

Unfortunately our camera accidentally got set to film compact videos, and we did not notice it until after this video was taken. The quality is not good. At our lunch we heard AB giggle for the first time. She has laughed before, but this was a real giggle. It was precious. Her giggle is at the very beginning. She started to get hiccups towards the end, so it is not as entertaining.

Birthday Bowling

For LB's birthday we went bowling. To avoid the smoke we had to go at 10 a.m. but it was a lot of fun. AB even had a good time taking a nap in her stroller until she woke up to eat. She liked bowling.

Bath Time

After AB's bath LB often holds her to let the towel dry her and to keep her warm. She seems to like it.

AB and her Dalmation

Out for a Stroll

We went for a stroll a couple of days ago. Yes it is still cold here.
