More of our home tour!

Finally getting around to taking pictures of finished projects!

Remember this?


It now looks like this!

We love our laundry room and couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out!  The only thing left to do is replace the flooring which should happen this spring!

Because of space issues, we bought stackable front loaders which are worth every penny! We added a shelf above the dryer to store things like light bulbs and bulk paper towels but added a decorative curtain as who wants to look at that?!

Having a nice & organized space definitely helps to make laundry a little more pleasant!

18 months old!

We cannot believe that Abby turned 18 months old on Wednesday! Time flies!

Here she is sleeping in her big girl bed! We have an actual toddler bed on the way (even though the crib was suppose to convert to a toddler bed, its still too high for our comfort level).

We had her 18 month check-up yesterday and she is 30" tall and 23lbs. So she is right in the 25th percentile on both!  Our little peanut! Poor thing had to have 5 shots so we spent the rest of the day snuggling and watching movies.  The next time she will have to have shots (outside of flu shot) will be when she starts school.  Ack!  Don't even want to think about that!

Here is some other info about where Abby is at 18 months::

Personality: Abby is wide-open!  She loves being silly and laughing but she does get shy around someone new. 
 
Eating/Sleeping Habits: She loves all kinds of food except eggs! Even spicy food! she loves a wide variety of veggies (much more than her Mommy or Daddy). She is sleeping in a toddler bed now and has done really well with the transfer! 

Comforted By: Music, snuggling, reading, walking, singing, and VeggieTales

Developmental Milestones: There is definitely no concern for developmental issues!  She is such a smart little girl!  She runs all over the place! She talks all the time.  Every day she seems to say a new word. She is big into imitating so she likes to do whatever she sees us doing (which makes us have to be really careful - lol).  She loves to play with her babies or in her play kitchen! We got the chance to observe her playing at daycare this week (for a few minutes anyway before she noticed we were there) and she does so well playing with others!  She has her buddy in class that she loves to play with who has been with her since she started!

Abby's Hayride & Pumpkin Patch

Abby's daycare always does amazing special events for the holidays and today they had a hayride around the church grounds and had a pumpkin patch set up on the front lawn!  She had such a great time!
