Poor Gabby

Last night after dinner Darren took the girls to go and run a few errands. They were gone for awhile and I was in Gabby's room putting away a few of her toys when they got back. I could hear Gabby crying before they even got in the house and I heard Darren say "Go show mom what happened." It turned out that Darren accidentally slammed Gabby's hand in the car door. He had put her in her car seat and just as he was closing the door she stuck her hand out. Her poor fingers were all bruised and swollen. So the above picture is Gabby sitting on our bed, watching Backyardigans while she eats a banana and puts ice on her fingers. Poor girl!

Yummy!

Okay, so I have a confession. I struggle when it comes to baking anything from scratch, especially if that something requires yeast and rising. But the other day I decided to try to make some cinnamon rolls, I found a good recipe online and Gabby and I spent the morning baking. I didn't have high hopes, but let me tell you they turned out pretty yummy! Even Darren liked them and he's kind of hard to please when it comes to that kind of stuff. Yay!

9 Months!

Annie had her nine month appointment today. She is 18 lbs. 4 oz. (the 40th percentile) and 28 inches long (the 67th percentile). She's starting to thin out, although you'd never know it to look at her, her cheeks are just as chubby as ever. She loves to just sit and play with her toys, and she loves books! I thinks she's going to be just like her sister in that regard. She has four teeth now, the two front bottom and the two front top. She's not crawling yet but we're working on it. I can't wait for her to crawl, I know it's going to be a lot more work, but it's so fun!
