Marvelous Monday

Abby and I had a great Monday. She had a nice morning nap, had fun with her dad at lunch time, played with blocks, and we both took a 2 1/2 hour nap this afternoon. It was wonderful.

Here's a picture where you can just start to see Abby's top tooth. She's getting big. Unfortunately with her new teeth we sometimes get nibbled on when she gives out her great big kisses.

Other than playing and napping, not much new is going on today. Abby continues to make our lives interesting. She woke up 2 times after we put her to sleep last night, so I finally ended up doing step aerobics on the Wii Fit holding her. It was a much harder workout with the extra 22 pounds of tired baby. We tried to do the jogging level too, but it was too hard to jog and hold a wiggly girl who was way too tired to be awake.

Where Is My Week Going

It's Wednesday already, where has our week gone? I just started doing our laundry, which is going to be a monumental task, and there is still a lot of cleaning up and putting away to do after being gone a week. And Abby just keeps pulling things down and dumping things out and being a very silly girl. It's a good thing we aren't neat freaks or we'd be going bonkers!

Abby and Maize are back onto their normal napping routines, with only minor changes. Abby has been staying awake until 11 am and then only taking a one hour nap in the morning. I'm glad she is getting bigger and needs less sleep, but that leaves me with a lot less time to get things done without having to worry about what she is getting into. I am going to have to learn to be super efficient.

Tooth number 3 is all the way through and tooth number 4 (in order of arrival, not the technical tooth numbers for you dental types) is not going to be far behind. Abby also woke up this morning without a runny nose for the first time in over a week - Hooray!!! We were definitely ready to be done with her cold.

Our family has been busily enjoying our new Wii Fit in the evenings (thanks again Mom and Dad Obreiter) with one unpleasant side effect. It is hilarious to watch the other person use it and fun to play yourself, but we are both so sore and achy from using muscles we haven't used in a while. Last night I was considering sleeping on the couch so that I wouldn't have to walk up the stairs. Apparently we are a bit on the un-Fit side! But hopefully by the next time you see us in person we will be trimmer, toned, and in shape.
