I wonder sometimes about life.
Don’t we all?
Why do “bad” things happen to “good” people?
And then I realized,
How many times have I gotten something good that I didn’t deserve?
A lot of times.
Meeting Thomas, having Abigail and so much more…
I think that really everything evens out in the end
And we shouldn’t be so concerned about keeping tabs on who’s “winning” and “losing”.

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.

I am so excited that there is a new episode tonight. I’ve been bummed waiting for it. lol Yes, I know I am addicted.
Some other shows I really like lately?
Vampire Diaries, Top Chef: Las Vegas, Eastwick-which I just heard was canned , and I can’t think of any others right now.
What shows, if any, are you interested in right now?

Abby is starting get even more personality. She seems like a stubborn little girl who knows what she wants. She throws some tantrums now when I say no sternly. So hard to watch. Occasionally I feel like giggling when she does it.
She is trying to climb constantly. She can climb down from the couch thanks to Tom letting her try…lol She wants to put her feet in things, like the dog water, the toy basket, the dog toy basket, etc…
She did this today.

lol. She kind of got stuck. She is SO curious and I love watching her look at things. Words cannot describe how precious she is to me.

No matter how you hope.
No matter how you try.
You can’t make the truth
Out of a lie.

Those Berenstain Bears are pretty smart.

We went basic and old school for this years costume. And yet, so cute! The shirt and yoga pants were from Grandma and the oh so cute kitty face art was courtesy of Momma’s eyeliner.

I feel like I am talking to myself lately. Not just here but everywhere. Do you ever feel like you just aren’t able to actually get your point across? Or say anything that is actually meaningful?
I can’t quite explain it. Well, at least it comes and goes. lol

I was inspired to write this post after reading a friends blog.
Our house has been filled with so much since Abby was born. Screaming, crying, babbling and laughter. Oh yes, laughter.
Laughter cancels out everything else. There are giggles, belly laughs, and chuckles.
My favorite sound? It’s when someone is “eating her belly”. Her laughter then is the best sound ever invented.
Here is a pic of her laughing…

You can almost hear her laugh can’t you?

And she is almost a walker! Yesterday was a day where she kept turning around and taking a couple steps then dropping to the floor. She also started trying to climb on the ottoman. Eek!
I think she is now getting a cold by the way. Man, runny nose a little bit and somewhat sounding congested. I hope it gets better very fast.
She has been waking at 5 am the past several mornings and yesterday she stayed in her crib from 7:30 to 11:15 before she made a peep. I know for a little bit at the end she was playing but then when I peeked in again she was laying down and looked as if she fell back asleep. Still she went to sleep at 5:15 pm last night and woke at 5 this morning!
She knows where her mouth, hand, foot, toes and…this just in…her belly are! It’s so cute! It’s funny though she doesn’t realize she has two feet and two hands yet. She only points to her right hand and foot.
I gave her a spoon with ravioli the other night. She didn’t know what to do with it at first but I showed her and man what a mess! She loved it though and looked so proud!
