7 Months!

Dear Abby,

Its been 7 months! You are getting so big and you have changed so much. You can sit up all by yourself now. You love to sit and play with your toys. You love to talk all the time. Your favorite word is mama! Your daddy and I are loving getting to know your little personality more and more. You are so funny and you are always making us laugh. You have started eating more and more real food and you love it. If I am eating I have to make sure there is something for you to eat or else you get really mad. You are still the tiniest little thing. At your 6 month appointment you weighed 12lbs. Thats the 3rd percentile (its actually not on the percentiles but they still call it the 3rd percentile). But you are as healthy as can be, just small! You are slowly starting to show interest in crawling and moving around. But you would rather be standing so maybe you'll just go straight to walking! You will not take a bottle which has been really frustrating. You love your mama and thats all you want. We have tried every trick in the book and you are not interested! You love to drink water, its actually hilarious how much you love to drink water. You love to play with your aunts and uncles. And they love you! You are still sleeping pretty good. You go to bed around 8:30 or 9:00 and get up around 8:00 or 8:30. You do wake up once or twice at night but you go right back to sleep. We are starting to get you to sleep without being swaddled which has been exciting. You still love to read chicka chicka boom boom and you love to listen to mommy and daddy sing. Your new favorite game is peek a boo. You could play it for hours!

 You are always melting our hearts with your sweet smiles.

We love you sweet girl and can't wait to see what the next few months bring!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

Intensely watching baby mozart... it is serious business 

In other family news.... Kyle got into Midwestern Dental School in Glendale! I could not be more proud of him. Over 3,000 people applied and he is one of 115 that got accepted! Incredible! He still has an interview in Colorado in a week and in Oregon in 2 weeks so we still don't know for sure where we will be going, but at least we know we will be going somewhere!! Dental School here we come!!!

Family Pictures!

Merry Christmas from The Cordners!

My mom took all of these isn't she amazing! She has a photography blog if you want to check it out. 

3 years and counting

 Its been three years since I married the most incredible person in the world. I have been grateful everyday since then that Kyle is apart if my life.  This last year has been a very special year. We found out that we were having a little girl. We had our last adventures being just the two of us and the we welcomed our beautiful baby to the world. We became a family. Its been such a fun year and I can't wait to see what this year brings.

Abby's Blessing

This picture describes our family. Kyle making a joke and being proud of himself for how funny he his. Me cracking up. And Abby a little worried about the family she was born into. Poor thing. 

Kyle you are an amazing husband and father. Abby and I love you so much. We are so grateful for all you do to provide for us. You work so hard and we are so proud of you. You have helped me become the person I have always wanted to be. You always make me laugh and you are always there to help me with whatever I need. You are amazing and you have made being married to you so easy. Thank you for understanding me, for putting up with me and for loving me unconditionally. You are the best. I love you. 

I love my family

Happy Halloween!

 Abby was a sweet little lady bug for halloween! Kyle and I didn't dress up because Kyle was at work and I am to lame. Besides Abby was so cute no one was looking at me.

This picture makes me bust up laughing every time I see it. Its the Lady Bug Pope!

Ya She is gorgeous. It was a fun Halloween. We went Trick or Treating with my little brother and sister and my cousin Lynlee. My mom took these pictures the day before Halloween. She is AMAZING!! She is taking family pictures next week and I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Happy Halloween from the Cordners!
