Yes, we actually did decorate the entire tree but one by one the little snowmen at the bottom of the tree disappeared.
Every time she would take one off we would hear a loud "uh-ohhhh" and know we had a man down! We had a wonderful Christmas and Dave actually had 2 four day weekends back to back. I was basically not needed during this time because as we know Abby is very much a daddy's girl!Of course she got a ton of toys, so much I actually had to put some away and will swap them out every few weeks. We like to keep things fun around here!I think the most amazing part of Christmas this year was that Dave's family came down so Abby had both sets of grandparents here and TWO great-grandmas!!! That's pretty darn cool when you think about it.
Another amazing event that happened during this wonderful time was that Abby took her first step at church on Christmas eve service!!! I was so happy because I was pretty sure we would be watching her crawl through the doors of preschool this fall. Jan 5 she started really walking. She is on a roll and she is loving it! I am so proud of her because if you know my daughter she is afraid of any and everything that may or may not hurt her, look at her, or touch her. This is a HUGE step (no pun intended) for her and us. Of course Dave was the one who was able to get her walking. Every time I would try she would look at me like I was a lunatic. Last night Dave and I went out and bought a bumper pad to go over the coffee table. I NEVER thought I would be "that parent" but it turns out I am and I am ok with that!Abby is growing up so fast and it turns out I am not so ok with that.She is talking and signing(she signs more,eat, milk and finished) so much now, I think she gets more vocabulary every hour. Just last night I told Dave that sometimes I just watch her and I can't believe that she is my daughter. Is there any greater blessing? I think not!!!
