a whole lotta nothin

you know those days where you feel like you have a lot to say but really its just a bunch of jib jab...welcome to my day!
i will start off with an abby update. she had her 15 month check up last week and it went awesome. and by awesome i mean that while we were still driving through the parking lot she looked out the window and realized where she was and screamed. seriously, who ever said kids dont have good memories needs to come to the doctors office with me some day(or church nursery, equal reaction there). so of course she cries the whole time we are waiting to go back to the room and she totally freaks out when the nurse has to check her weight and height. i am thinking that being a pediatric nurse must be the best form of birth control. they need to take all teenage girls to a pediatricians office and see if they still want to have sex with their boyfriend. if the screaming doesnt scare them the bill sure will! anyways, so that was finished and we were waiting for dr w to come in and see us. we could hear her in the next room talking to a little girl and telling her that she is too big for a pacifier and she doesnt need it anymore. let me just say that i love dr w, i really do, but the sweet thing has no kids of her own and i know she means well but i dont think she is very realistic at times. so she comes into our room where abby is sucking on her pacifier like a champ(seriously, just imagine maggie from the simpsons) and of course abby freaks out because she knows dr w is going to touch her. dr w tells us that abby is 95% in height and 75% in weight and her vocabulary is really good for her age. turns out that her saying "big truck" and "dog woof" is considered making a sentence and when she signs " eat more please", well thats just fantastic. so basically my child is a genius! she also says amen after prayers but i didnt share that with dr w because thats just showin off. anyways, dr w asks about the pacifier and what our plans are to get rid of it. ha, let me tell you what my plans are pacifier nazi with no kids...we had a plan and a deadline and both went down the toilet. dr w says i should just chunk them in the trash because the longer i wait the harder it will be. yep, i will get right on that!

i am preparing myself mentally for the next couple of days. we are supposed to get some pretty nasty weather and looks like we wont be leaving the house for a few days. it wouldnt be that bad, but the wells dropped cable a while back and abby only has one dvd that she really doesnt even watch. soooo, this should be a hoot! i am really glad that we dont have tv and that my daughter(genius daughter) doesnt like tv, but it would be nice to have for these occasions. if anyone has some fun arts and crafts ideas for 15month olds i am all ears! thats all thats going on with the wells these days...see a whole lotta nothin! i will try and get some new pictures up pretty soon, i know thats all you really want anyway = )
