Abby and her Ice

Every since Abby figured out what ice was she's loved it and begged for it every time she see's it. Lucky for her, she has a mom that loves ice in all of her drinks (soda, water, milk, you name it).

Today during lunch, she saw my ice and started asking for it. mom? Mom? MOM? MOM?!?!(I've been hesitant to indulge her, not that I have anything against the ice, just the begging) I gave it to her anyway, and then after watching her nearly freeze her hands off, I wrapped it in a washcloth and handed it back to her.

She took it, her jaw dropped, then she looked up at me, smiled and said "I love you".

Lifetime of ice. Anytime you want it.

Abby's taking over the bedtime routine

Went to put alma down to bed for the night and Abby followed us into the bedroom- this is unusual for her, if I'm putting Alma down she usually gives him a kiss and stays as far away so she doesn't end up in her crib too! She kept giving Alma kisses, started humming to him, made sure he had an extra binki and then had 2 that she was still holding onto. After I set Alma and she grabbed her lovey, blanket came over for me to pick her up (hands in the air), put her forehead to my lips pointed to her crib and grunted (I took care of the bedtime routine, now put me to bed).
She's so funny, cracks me up :) to put alma down to bed for the night and Abby followed us into the bedroom- this is unusual for her, if I'm putting Alma down she usually gives him a kiss and stays as far away so she doesn't end up in her crib too!

Alma Glade is Here!

so I guess that since it's been 7 months since our last post on this blog... it might be time for another one? Tyler is posting pretty regularly at owensfanfam.blogspot.com, but thought that I'd put a quick recap up on this one as well.

Alma Glade Owens arrived July 28, 2009 happy and healthy. He weighed 8 lbs 6oz and was 21.5 inches long. Lots of dark hair. He had colic for his first 5 months, but when that wasn't bothering him he was always really really happy.
