Random week...

Dear Abigail - this week was very eventful! Daddy went out of town on Wednesday morning, so/and, Mimi was here by Wednesday afternoon!! She finally got to meet Miss Lee, and I believe she approves, which is good, because we love Miss Lee. Mimi said when Miss Lee handed you to her (Mimi), you started crying really loud. Thankfully Mimi didn't get her feelings hurt and leave, because we needed her to stick around! You warmed up within minutes and you and Mimi were playing with Abbycadabby in no time at all. Thanks to Mimi's visit, Mommy got a lot of stuff done. I got closets cleaned out and went through old clothes that I can FINALLY get back into. I only blame that partially on you - the other part I blame on my genetics. I'm hoping since you look so much like your daddy, you won't deal with this, but if so, I'll teach you all the tricks. I even got to clean out the kitchen cabinets and Mimi cleaned, as usual, for us! AND, you are now a crawling machine. Then, Daddy came home Friday night and you crawled for him too. He even thinks you are saying Da-da when he walks in the room and he's convinced Mimi of it too. I still have my doubts. Then on Saturday, Mimi left cause she had to watch Clara Lee that night, and Mommy & Daddy had to get a real babysitter for you!! You see, we went to your first opera! It was actually pretty good. We left you with Miss Robin who is an all-star babysitter. She said you were perfect other than you just didn't want to eat (see, I am convinced you will have your daddy's genes b/c mommy always wants to eat)... AND, once we got home, you slept all night! You've been having issues with this - even with Mimi here. You did this weird thing where you were pulling your hair out really aggressively. Mimi thought you had a brain-freeze because of your juice THEN she thought you had an ear ache. The doctor said neither and to just watch you. You haven't done it since! thank goodness because you looked a little psychotic. Anyway, so you slept and mommy slept!!! And the next morning daddy got up with you and when i finally got out of bed, you were asleep with daddy on the couch. i took a picture. THEN, today (sunday) we met Papa and Miss Glenda for lunch then we went and visited Aunt Patsty and Uncle Ray! Aunt Patsy is your Nan's sister. This was your first time meeting her - she looks just like your Nan did, it's amazing. Uncle Ray and Aunt Patsy were both so good with you adn they even offered to babysit! We made a pact with them to visit more than every 7 months! your cousin Nadine and Lori stopped by for a visit too - those genes are so strong, you all look alike!!! Finally we headed home after a very long, adventurous weekend. It was a good weekend baby girl. I'm so proud at how well you are crawling in just the short period of time. you are amazing us all... love you.
