18 Months Old!!!

Where has the time gone?!? We hope the next 16 1/2 years go as smoothly as the first 1 1/2. Abby has sure been a great baby and toddler.

I tried giving Abby her first hair trim today. We got it a little shorter than I would have preferred, but I was cutting wet hair on a wiggly kid. Next time I'll have to remember to dry it and then trim it. But, as you can see from the pictures we took afterward, she is still the cutest girl in the Upper Peninsula. Now we just have an ear length bob instead of a shoulder length mullet. We will have to see what dad thinks when he gets home.

Abby finally will tell you that she is "one" when she puts her finger up. It took a lot of practicing, since she was pretty set in holding up one finger and saying "two" instead. She certainly has a mind of her own when she gets an idea into her little brains.

Along with the haircut today, we also got Abby a new set of blackout curtains to try and help keep heat in her room. We picked out a curtain liner that we can reuse no matter how many times she switches her exterior curtains, which were pink this time. She thinks it is a princess room and was very impressed with her upgrade. We are hoping it saves us a few dollars in heating too, or at least keeps her toasty warm at night.
