Family Living: Abbott Style

My sweet baby is now an 18 month toddler.  And it is a blast He is officially weaned. Had our first overnight trip without the kids and it went awesome. Separation anxiety is finally easing up He is happy and silly He plays rough with sister. REALLY into animals.  He sleeps well and takes 1 nap a day. He is really into daddy right now. He is learning more and more words every day.  ' He says No, even when he means yes,  And it is totally cute. He has zero interest in tv.

I couldn't possible truly capture out last year in a single blog post.  But I will do my best.  I will likely fall short of painting an accurate picture. First, I have to be honest.  Looking through Haley's pictures today REALLY made me want another baby...for a fleeting second.  And then it went away, She is now a little girl. No longer a toddler.  A little girl.  Almost a school age girl. She is sweet. Happy.  Enthusiastic. Bright.  Strong. I have full conversations with Haley. I can reason with her and often talk her down from tantrums She still loves to read.  I hope she always has a passion for books She enjoys puzzles She took some tumbling lessons and is now in swimming.  So far, I think she enjoys swimming more.  She looks very zen during her lessons. She likes to be independent and likes to do things on her own. She enjoys going to AWANAS on Wednesday nigh...
