You have WHAT in your mouth??

Almost a month!?!? REALLY??

Ugh, I have NO idea where the time has gone... Okay, that's a lie. I know exactly where it's gone and today I will blog about it!!

We left home two weeks ago today, and we had the most beautiful drive!!! I was so tempted to stop and take some pictures, but we only stopped three times in the 9 hour drive. Once for gas, and and the other two times Weston had a pee, and I fed and changed the baby quickly. The weather has been beautiful since we've arrived, and I am not sure which of the three of us have had the most fun being outside....

(Gosh I could just SQUISH those cheeks....and sometimes I do)

but I guess I could say Weston probably has enjoyed it the most.

So, we've been getting out on tonnes of walks...can I mention how UN-FUN walking up the hill to the house is pushing the stroller (you've got to see the incline of the road to understand...hmm...tomorrow I might take a picture to show you how nuts it is). And I'm not ashamed to say, I loop the leash around the handle so he can help pull.

Sigh....she's such a beauty sometimes :) She truly does melt my heart a little bit.

Valentines Day Abby's first tooth really cut through...sharp as a snaggletooth!! However tempting it may seem do not put your finger in there, because I will not pay to fix the damages. And today while staring into her gaping mouth I noticed tooth numba TWO is working on breaking through the skin. when.did.my.baby.get.so.freaking.big?!?!!?!?! She is rolling both back to front and front to back...though only when she chooses to. Most of the time she thinks it would be better for me to fetch her whatever toy is just out of her reach and grunts/squawks until I give in. She can sit for about 30 seconds unassisted...sometimes longer, sometimes she just bends in half and chews her feet - depends on her mood. But lay her flat on her back and she's picking up her head and trying her best to do a sit up. She can skootch her way around on the floor....usually going in a circle and backwards are her specialty. She has also learned and is working on perfecting her ability to blow raspberries...

.

I'm not sure why - but a million liters of spit is required to be blown everywhere for it to be a "true raspberry"... YUCK.

Ha ha, I think she should open a Kissing Booth!!!!

Hm...thanks GRANDMA for teaching her that one. She also takes her hand and hits her mouth and goes "aye, yie, yie yie"... sometimes she gets a little too into it and really smashes her face - and then looks at you and cries like you've punched her in the face.

We're still here for a few more weeks, and word on the street is our reno is in full tilt. I have no other news on that front...but I am very, very, very excited to see the end-results. It's going to be so weird to not be here, however, I must say after not spending more than a week at home for almost 4 years, it has been oh.so.nice. to stay for a while!!!!

But that being said, we really do miss Daddy

(I really wish he was here to push the stroller up that hill, ha ha). But we know we have the better end of the deal, we would not want to be stuck up the mountain all night, in what looks like an ice-fishing tent in the cold!! But...it would be pretty neat to see some of the events. I would love to see someone go down on the Bobsleds.

Ty's got tickets to tomorrows Gold Medal Skeleton event, and also to the Gold Medal Bobsled event. Should be fun to be a spectator and not working!!!! So, watch for him on TV, maybe he'll make it on!

Well, until next time...which shouldn't be long now that I figured out how to hook my computer up to the internet here.... I'll just say goodbye, and here is a raspberry from Abby to all of you!

I couldn't last a week...

I tried... I really did. But couldn't last the week without a post of some kind. So I figured, how about the rambling kind! We've been busy busy getting ready to vacate.the.premises. But we've also been busy having a lot of fun.

Tonight I will share tantalizing tales of.... poop?

Do you all remember this contraption???

Well, I'm starting to think the books/papers in the bottom was a great idea.

Good thing I moved them....two days before it was christened with poop.

We've been adjusting Abby's bedtime...and by adjusting meaning shes.been.running.the.show. So, we've been finding Abby passed out in the oddest places with the oddest faces lately. She might kill us for these in the future, but we find them adorable and endearing.

And, when favorite toy is torn from her grasp, she assumes this "comfort position"...

Usually her hand is up on her forehead, but sometimes, this is as far as it makes it.

We're going to see how much her hair grows in the month we're away from Ty...

The back...

Annnnnnnd sound asleep.....

Ha ha, Daddy was mocking her... She totally doesn't get it.

When did she get SO LONG?????

Oh, did I mention at her four month appointment for her shots she was 15lbs 7oz and 26.5 inches long?

Most days her eyes are so.dark. that I love to dress her in of blue, as it brings out the tiny bit of blue that hides in there.

OH I almost forgot we got our first wound.

...and survived.

We chilled with The Tam and her terrific tickets.

She wasn't excited at all...

She was going that evening to enjoy super great seats...

...at a ridiculous price!!!!

I told her to practice her Sheldon-call.... ha ha...she'll totally kill me for this one.

But it's worth it...and I know she doesn't check the blog, ha ha.

OH and check out our new Nanny Cam

Ha ha...just kidding. Thats not it.

This is...

ps. AND we had delicious Steel Cut Oat and Flax pancakes. YUM.

(It's B.'s recipe and boy is it good with some peanut butter and a smidge of Mrs. Buttersworth - my guilty pleasure!)

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT....

HELLO everyone!!!! (waves white flag)

I am not gone, though if you only know me through the blog you might have thought otherwise.

Nope. I have just been busy spending boatloads of time with my husband. Who is leaving for a month to go the Olympics for work. Yuck, I know. Thank goodness I won't be alone for the month though!

AND so we have been busy spending time with each other - packing every.little.thing. up and putting it in storage, because with my husband gone, I am leaving, and contractors are coming to renovate the house!!!!!!!

Yep, that's right. Construction central around here. So Abby, Weston and I will be on the Griffith Family (minus daddy) Roadtrip 2010!!! Rather than try to designate one room with an bed, laptop and nothing else to keep us entertained - and to try to stay out of the drywall dust etc... I decided to get outta here. OH and the other great thing that many of you might not know - when we bought this house we were fully aware of it being a fix.er.up.er. and there is mold in the walls of the basement, so Abby and I are not allowed to be here once they rip that all out anyways.

Things will be sealed up, vented out, and under.construction.

I can't wait until we come home though - we've picked our materials that we like. However, it will be a surprise to come home, as we are not really sure what it will look like. (Don't worry, the guy we've given creative freedom to is really great!).

I have new pictures to post, and things to say, but until Thursday (when my entourage head out), you will have to be patient. THEN I will post all my posts from the last week.

So being the kind person that I am, and knowing that many of you were afraid I had fallen into a well... I just wanted to tell you all that I'm not buried under an avalanche, nor have I been chopped up by a freaky person CSI-Miami style, nor am I sitting on a sunny beach somewhere....

I'm just home. Enjoying some time with my family. Getting gray hair over the reno. Hot-tubbing whenever the mercury climbs high enough that I won't freeze solid between the door and the tub. Taking boatloads of pictures. Packing things up and all over the house. Stacking things in piles. Preparing for my mainfloor to be sealed all up. AND excited to get outta town and see some old friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
