The Abraham Family: January 2013

Mommy and Daddy can still have F-U-N!

Yes, Mommy and Daddy can still have fun (when actually get the opportunity)! For Catherine's birthday in December, Brannon got one of the huge Celebrity Coaches Bus and it chartered us to West Point to eat at Anthony's. It was a lot of fun, despite my "bus sickness" on the way there! It was great to finally get to spend some QT with our besties! Here is a crazy picture from the night!

Chet and I went to Birmingham with Scott and Billy to the Ole Miss bowl game. We actually got to go over and spend the night before the game. We are thankful that Mimi was here to keep the kids. It was fun to get away for a night and to actually see the Ole Miss Rebels pull out a W-I-N! Hotty Toddy!

Welcome to the world, Baby Andrew!

Our newest family member made his entrance into the world on January 16! Baby Andrew James Stovall is here!! He is so precious! I actually got to go visit the weekend after he was born. I didn't get to stay very long, but I sure did enjoy getting to hold and love on him! Here are a few pics of our sweet baby boy cousin!

Sam is 11 Months Old!

This handsome boy is 11 months old! He is the busiest little boy, but he is so much fun! He's usually pretty happy most all the time! He has 5 teeth now and babbles all the time. He has learned to "clap for Sam" and he waves "bye-bye". He is taking a few steps, but still prefers to mostly crawl! He loves to EAT, and he would eat all day if I would keep the food coming! He still doesn't like to drink or hold a sippy cup, but we are working on it! I love this precious boy so much!

January Fun!

January has been a fun month! We've been very creative in finding things to play and do while we are stuck inside while it's cold. Daddy came up with rigging a diaper box as a "sled" so he could pull the kids around the house. They both absolutely loved it, especially Sam. Daddy would pull him around the house a few times and he almost fell asleep several times! It's been the most entertaining box (and the cheapest toy we have!)!!

He was just about asleep--very relaxed!

Sam loves taking a bath! He loves to stand up and bang the toys on the side of the bathtub. He also enjoys dumping water outside of the tub--it frustrates me so bad when he does it, but he is just so cute that it's hard to get on to him!!

More fun play time in the box!

One Saturday morning, we woke up to find Kendall had crawled in bed with Sam to play and started sucking one of his paci's. They thought it was SO funny! She never really liked sucking a pacifier as a baby, but I guess she decided she would see what all the fuss was about since Sam LOVES his paci!

Kendall had "Cowgirl Day" at school, so we borrowed some things from our friend Ivey Kate. She looked so cute with her hair in braids and her hat on! She loved the boots, too!

Sam has gotten super busy over the last few weeks. One of his favorite things to do is climb in the dishwasher and "help"! Look at that sweet face!

We finally got a few snow flurries this month! It wasn't enough to play, but we were super excited to at least see some snow on the bushes!

Sam has become the busiest little bee in his class! He loves to crawl under the rocking chair and then he gets stuck and can't get out! This is where I found him when I went to pick him up!
