Celebrated Valentine's Day by making cards for grandparents, doing some chalkboard art, and going out to eat with daddy to the cutest restaurant in town.
We were reunited with one of my best friends. She hadn't seen Abbey since she was like 5 months old, so it was super exciting!
Abigail got her first stitches :(
It was super late and wayyy past her bedtime, but she was being ornery and insisting that she stay awake. She was driving her shopping cart around the living room like a mad women. Let me add in here that she is already clumsy but 10x more clumsy when she is tired. Her dad was on his way home form work, he had to work late. I was literally getting ready to get up and put her to bed when she ran her shopping cart into the entertainment center, tripped over it and took a face dive into the shelf. She started screaming and I thought it was because her foot was caught, so I scooped her up and said your alright baby. But then I looked up and there was blood everywhere. Yikes. I called Nick and said hurry home we have to go to the ER. I thought she had bit entirely through her lip, but she had two separate cuts. Thankfully it wasn't a through and through. We took her to the ER and the sweet doctor gave her a pink bear and put a bandage on to numb the cut. They had to hold her down while putting in the stitches and I sat in the corner with my back turned crying like a baby. I felt so bad that I was watching her when it happened. I felt like there was something I could have done to prevent it, but these things just happen. Especially to girls like mine who love to be super active. I gave her lots of love and kisses and she was just fine afterwards. After six days I had to take her in by myself to get the stitches out. She was still traumatized from getting them, so this was worse. Thankfully it lasted only a minute. You always keep me on my toes little girl!
My husband and Abigail were sick one week and so we weren't able to go to church. I walked into him showing her a book and teaching her about Jesus. One of the sweetest moments. Since then every time she sees a picture of him she points and says Jesus or blows him kisses…melt my heart.
One day she was going stir crazy because we have been in the whole almost the whole winter. Idaho winters can be brutal. So, I decided we would venture out to the pet store and to go shopping for an Easter dress. She had so much fun. She loves animals and trying on clothes so it was a hit.
I finally framed her first drawings and hung them up. Now every time we pass them she points and says ohhh.
She has been rocking the purse I made her as well as the headband I made her. She is OBSESSED with Dora, so I found a Dora fabric for the inside and she carries it around everywhere going "dora dora dora dora." I am learning to sew and I love it! I am so not great at it, but with more practice I think I will get the hang of it. Thanks to my amazing friend Daina for teaching me and having the patience of a saint ;)
And some fun at home or while I am babysitting:
And finally we switched her crib to a toddler bed. She fell out trying to climb on it the other night, so we switched it and it was the best decision I have made. She has been a pretty horrible sleeper lately waking up sometimes up to 5 times a night. I always felt like she didn't like her crib, but she seemed to small to change it. The night we switched her to a toddler bed she slept through the night from around 10 pm to 8:30 am and didn't even get out of bed. AHHH finally I know what sleep feels like.
Stay tuned for a post on our trip to Seattle ;)
