the duck says.....

Abigail has a toy that has a picture of a duck on it. When you push the duck it quakes. The other day, I was studying and Abigail brought it out to me. She was going ba ba ba ba ba ba. She then threw the toy at me. So I made it quake and she got really happy and again said ba ba ba ba ba ba. I tell her it is quack quack quack. But she still says it wrong.

I can't believe how much she is talking now. Her newest thing is when she is looking for bunny. She will say "where is he?" and shrugs her shoulders. When she finds him she gets really excited.

Abigail loves when people sing. She knows the actions to itsy bitsy spider. She loves the ABC song. She also, I found out today, likes do as I'm doing. She was rolling her hands and I had to try to guess what song she wanted. When I finally started to sing that song she got really excited and happy.

My feet, if you don't like feet don't look.

Warning if you don't like feet don't look.

I took these last night. I had been up on them most of the day, because I have a little girl that loves outside. The foot to the left is the one that got sprained. It is a lot bigger. I can barely get flip flops on this foot. It is still really big this morning too. The right foot is a little swollen too, but it is caused by me being pregnant

better

I am doing better today. My ankle is nice and bruised, but at least I can walk on it. It is also swollen, but I guess that is life.

We had a good day today, we went to church even though we were a half hour late. Abigail cried when I dropped her off in nursery, she then had one of the leaders hold her the whole time. After church our home teachers came over. Abigail had a fun time playing with them.

After that we went over to Mike's brothers house to watch the jazz game. We had a late lunch/early dinner. We then played rock band forever. It was fun. We went to the park also, Abigail had fun running around with her dad and her uncle.
We watched a movie which I wish I could forget after that.

Abigail finally fell asleep after 9:30 she came up to cuddle with me, and fell asleep. When we got home she went right to bed.

Tomorrow I have a ton of math to do I would do some tonight but I am very very tired.

stupid me!!!!

So earlier today, Mike and I were going to go play Rock Band 2. Currently my favorite game. I was sitting on the couch, my feet were numb. They are always numb lately, because always swollen. Anyway I went to stand up and my foot was asleep. I was walking and it hurt to walk and then I somehow twisted my foot ankle. I fell on the ground in pain.

Mike came and helped me up to the couch and we put ice on it. I just sat there until Abigail needed something. When I got up to help her, I noticed that I couldn't put any pressure at all on my foot. I can walk on it but it hurt. I had to crawl back to the couch. I couple of hours later, I couldn't even get up because it hurt so bad.

Mike and I have nothing for hurt ankles so we are borrowing crutches and Mike went to buy a bandage. We have to teach primary tomorrow, so I hope it feels a little bit better.

I feel so stupid because I should have known my foot was asleep. But I didn't.

craving

The other day, Mike and I went to Chili's with some friends. They have a new appetizer there it is onion rings and fried jalapenos. I wanted to try it, so we did. Ever since then I have been wanting it again and again, even though it is extremely spicy.

Last night bought me the stuff to make it, problem I don't have the recipe for the batter. I tried to look some up, but most of the recipes ask for beer. And I don't have any. 1 because I don't drink it and 2 because I am pregnant. Even though it would be cooked I don't want to test it.

I have decided that I am just going to make something up and hope for the best. If it is good I will write it down.

ceiling problems again!

A couple of weeks ago when it was raining a lot our ceiling leaked but only a little bit. It didn't happen again until tonight, after it had been raining all day. I went into our bedroom, and I saw water coming down.

Luckily it is in a different place then the last time, it is just over by about a foot. The last time it leaked they didn't go up to see where the leak was coming from. They just fixed the ceiling from falling down. Mike and I didn't think that is how you fix a leaking ceiling.

Anyway, about a month ago our apartment was sold to a new guy. He is a nice guy, so we have to bother this new landlord about the problem. I just hope that he will be able to fix it better.

Easter Dress

We bought Abigail an Easter Dress this year. I loved it the moment I saw it. There were also 3 other girls in the ward that had the same dress, so I guess I wasn't the only one who liked it.( please excuse the mess in our living room. I am becoming a lazy pregnant person)

She sat down to model for me
The dress went down to her feet. Room to grow!

Sleeping Abigail

Abigail has been falling asleep in really random places lately. If I think about it I take a picture

Here she is sleeping on our pile of blankets. It was early for nap time this day, so it kind of surprised me

Mike left to go do something one Sunday and he came back to find Abigail asleep on the couch next to me.

I love the feet!

Abigail likes to pull clothes out of the dresser then fall asleep on them.

I love the diaper showing.

Cuddling bunny

Bunny is pillow that day

Random pictures

We went to the living planetarium a couple of weeks ago here are a few pictures

She liked the fish.

Abigail fell outside a couple of weeks ago and she got a bump on her forehead

She is big for it

Resting with her mommy.

I don't understand......

I have a neighbor that has 4 girls ages 5, 3 or 4, 2 and 1. Anyway she sends her kids outside to play. She keeps her blinds closed and never checks on them. We don't have a fenced neighborhood. The street we live on can get busy. As a parent I have a hard time seeing how she can do that. They go running down the street, they run in the road, with no concern that there are things called cars. If you have plants they pick the flowers. Last year someone had tomato plants and they picked all the tomatoes, because they were playing and thought they were apples.
Also last year I guess one of the girls went next door, they had a ladder going to the roof. The kid who was 2 at the time climbed up the ladder. The mom finally came out and was like where is my kid. It took everyone forever to find her and then she wouldn't come down from the roof. But the mom didn't seem to care. It was the other parents that live around her that was concerned.

I would understand letting your kids play outside by themselves if blinds were open. If they have set rules where they can play. I wish we had a fenced yard then I would have an easier time.

Anytime I take Abigail out. These girls come over, and I feel like I have to watch them. I only want to watch my own kid unless she asks.

Am I wrong for feeling this way?
