8 months!

 Pulling the books off the shelf...right after I put them there...I'm sure it's only the beginning of that!

 Church outfit!

 Getting ready to check out the snow!

 Mommy helping make her very first snow angel!

 Our little angel!

First Christmas!

What a fabulous Christmas we had.  We spent a few days in Ontario with my parents and family.  We missed the family that we couldn't be with over the holiday though!

 Starting with packages from Aunt Sue and Grandma Pam and Sterling

 It became clear very quickly that the tissue paper was a hit!

 My parent's tree...it was overflowing!

 Saying hello to Uncle Andy and Aunt Kathy

 Chatting with Grandma and Aunt Noreen

 Hanging out with Uncle Shay

 Christmas pic with Grandma and Grandpa!

 Merry Christmas from the Hollands!

 Tired girl!

 Showing off her red dress and shoes with a little standing help from Daddy!

 Daddy being "Santa" for the first time!

 This one was probably the easiest he will ever get to put together!

 Santa's been here!

 Abigail likes what Santa brought!

 And look at all the goodies in her stocking too!

 The Poole girls on Christmas morning

 Let the present opening begin!

The bows were definitely the highlight!

 Gloworm!

 Taking a break from the bows and bags, I think I'll chew on the book instead!

 My favorite Christmas present!

 Lunchtime!

 Ugly Sweater time (even Abigail had an ugly sweater outfit!)

 Everyone standing around watching the baby!

 She loved Uncle Andy's beard!

 This is the highchair that my dad used, I used it, and now Abigail gets to use it...3 generations!

Listening to Uncle Andy play some music for us!

What a great holiday it was!

December Fun!

 This was actually in November, but I love this church outfit!

 She doesn't really like to hang out on her stomach, so this roll is often used to get back to her back!

 We were getting ready to run one night and I was finishing getting ready and Abigail and Brad were already ready.  I went out to the garage once I was ready and Brad was out there getting the stroller ready to go and there was no Abigail.  I asked him where she was and he said to go look in the high chair!  I had walked right past her on my way to garage!  So, this is her, all ready for a run, sitting in the highchair waiting for whatever was next!

 Playing on the floor in front of the tree one morning!

 She's loves playing in the bath, but she really doesn't mind getting out either.  We do a little shake shake to get the extra water off and she thinks it's pretty funny!

 Blueberry time!!

 She was having a really fussy day one day and when it was warm and summertime, we used to take her outside to cheer her up, so I bundled her up and out we went!  She loved being outside!

 Reading the new book, Away In a Manger, she got from Nanny

 This is how we have to get housework done around here sometimes!

 First Cheerios...man she loved them!

 A laundry basket makes a great place to play while Mommy wraps presents!

 And a wrapping paper roll is pretty fun too!

 Reading another book!
