The Debut.

The Debut.

Here it is...my first blog post, so I'll start at the beginning. We are a family of 4, yes 4, I included Dexter, because unlike some people have told me that once you have a kid the dog becomes "just the dog." Dexter never became "just the dog." Sure he is a little less spoiled now, but he still gets his walks, his raw-hides  and he still gets to sleep in the bed. He was my first "child." So yes, there are 4 of us, Andrew, me (Steph), Abby, and Dexter.

This blog is intended to update our family and friends, since we live so far away in Minnesota, and so I do not have to bombard Facebook with updates of Abby, which I understand most people do not really want to look at in their news feed. So I figured, only a few pictures on Facebook, more on here. Makes sense. You can choose to read it or not.

So, I told Andrew my plan of starting a blog, his response "Really? And how do you think your going to have the time for that?" My response was oh I'll find time. I can find time to do just about anything, baby time,homework, cleaning, baking, more homework, baby time, blog stalking, facebooking, more baby time, interneting, more homework, and probably more interneting, yup that's pretty much my day. So you see most of my time is spent with the baby, doing homework, and interneting (which mainly includes stalking people through blogs and facebook, and Imgur; I could spend hours on that website). I figured a blog would not take much of my time up interneting and I'm sure our family will love the Abby updates. I guess we will see how good I am at keeping this up.
                                           
So Abby. She really is a wonder. I now get how people say that their children are really the best things that have ever happened to them. She makes me smile every day. I love watching her learn new things and love watching her personality emerge. She sure is spunky for her size. She is 8 1/2 months old and already she walks around the coffee table, holding on of course and only stepping to her right. She is starting to get a little more courageous and takes her hand off the table and wiggles around, only to realize that she is not quite as stable and quickly puts her hand back on the table. Although not related to her walking here she is eating her veges tonight.

She is still not the biggest fan of vegetables, but you give her a piece of fruit and she gets excited. Almost as excited as when you give her some of those Gerber Puffs. I get why people call them "baby crack," you shake that canister and she comes crawling as fast as she can.

So there we go, my first blog post. I hope I can keep this up. I am also very excited for this weekend to see Jenny and Drew, but mostly so I can wear this :)
