Somehow, no matter how incredibly hard you pre-plan, there are all sorts of minor details and decisions to... beth 2009-06-16T09:45:38-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000627.php Today, little Miss Abbie turns 1 year old! And what a year it's been, too! A few highlights from the last month of this year: The weather has turned much nicer, and Abbie has discovered the great outdoors! She's also... beth 2009-05-12T14:33:54-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000626.php So I'm at the grocery store, looking to purchase a box of cake mix to make a tasty treat for my dearest Abbie's birthday. I'm standing in front of the Betty Crocker mixes and I see "Chocolate Fudge." Then immediately... beth 2009-05-11T18:40:50-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000624.php Happy Easter! And Happy Abbie's 11-month birthday! We've both been a little under the weater on and off over the last month, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to tell: Abbie, as you all know, started walking a couple weeks... beth 2009-04-12T20:20:14-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000623.php So Abbie took her first "official" steps on Monday. I say official, because she could take one, maybe two steps before then, but now she can travel from point A to point B on two appendages. See Flickr for a... beth 2009-03-25T18:56:38-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000622.php Yeah! We found the camera! It was in the side pocket of a bag that neither of us knew had a side pocket (somebody figure that one out). Any-who, I found a video that I had taken a month ago... beth 2009-03-14T14:07:38-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000621.php So we've pretty much exhausted our searching efforts - my camera is missing! And until we find it, no more pictures of Abbie! So for those of you who went on the ski trip with us a couple weeks ago,... beth 2009-03-06T13:04:28-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000620.php So Abbie had her 9-month checkup yesterday - everything looks great. They did some sort of blood test for her iron, which was normal, and a TB test (so if she has a gigantic red bump on her arm come... beth 2009-02-19T09:54:55-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000618.php Hi all! More pictures are up on Flickr - Click Here to view them. I've also got a video of Abbie walking behind her shopping cart - that'll be up on Marc's Flickr account shortly.... beth 2009-02-09T10:24:06-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000617.php I just completed my first official panicked search around the house for my missing daughter: Abbie was playing with some toys at my feet, while I was sitting at my computer focused on figuring out a software problem. Suddenly, I... beth 2009-01-07T13:01:17-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000616.php OK, so I've got some more photos up, but they're on my Flickr account, instead of Marc's. So Click Here to view them. Let me know if you can't see them. In other news, we just got back from Florida... beth 2009-01-06T17:46:07-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000615.php I think Abbie and Kahlua are having a competition to see who can leave the most drool on my clothes. So far, Abbie is winning. Her first tooth is just starting to poke out a little bit - I'll let... beth 2008-12-22T12:50:48-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000614.php Abbie turned 7 months old on Friday - man has this been a whirlwind month. I was looking back at my 6 month update and couldn't believe that 30 days ago she was having trouble laying back down after sitting... beth 2008-12-14T14:59:08-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000611.php Abbie has learned a new trick, and I think this may explain all the waking up and crying the past few nights--she was practicing. I'll let the video show you what she was practicing...... molson 2008-11-25T20:10:38-06:00 http://marcolson.net/beth/archives/000610.php So Abbie's teething. I know I've said this many times before (well, I've at least though it), but this is it. She cried every half hour last night, chews the snot out of her fist and mine, and there's a... beth 2008-11-19T10:29:21-06:00
