Pledge to start blogging again

How sad to see that my last update was in January.  Sigh.  My high hopes for being a regular blogger were left for wanting.

Now will our move to Oman, I have new incentive to get back on the blogging bandwagon for all my friends and family so you can know what is going on in our lives.  Being home full time should also help.

Keep checking in to see what we are up to!

New Year!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The last month has been wonderful for the Price family.  Aberly got to experience her first Christmas and we enjoyed watching her!  Aberly is pretty much running at this point and keeping us busy.  We don't have to chase her a lot but she wants our attention most of the time!  It's been hard to do dishes or cook!

She has three new teeth and has one more on the bottom about to pop through.  After a few weeks of restless night, we are hoping her mouth will give her a break after this tooth and wait before sending more in!

It's been exciting to see her continue to develop and understand how things work.  Her memory is amazing and she is starting to copy us at times.  As much as she loves her bottle, Aberly is starting to show more loyalty to her sippy cups.  She has her favorite books to "read" and loves to play peek-a-boo, be tickled, and explore her toys.  She also loves taking showers with me in the morning.

Here are some fun pictures from the last month.

Almost Christmas!

It's the most wonderful time of the year.... unless you have a baby getting 4 teeth at once.  Ugh.  Okay, it's still a great time of the year and we've had a fun time getting ready for Christmas, but poor Miss Aberly has been having a rough time this past week.  Luckily two have broken through and the eye teeth are almost through. 

Since I just realized I don't have our most recent pictures uploaded yet, I'll summarize the last month.  It was an exciting one! 

First, Miss Aberly turned one on November 21st!  We had a drop in party for friends and family with snacks and mini-cupcakes.  Aberly was a bit overwhelmed by it all but warmed up after a while.  She wasn't interested in her gifts at all, so mom and dad took care of them for her.

Thanksgiving was right after Aberly's birthday.  We packed up and headed to the valley for a Johnson family get together.  The trip started out rough with Aberly catching a bug (all of us eventually) and not feeling well, but Thanksgiving day itself was great.  We got to see relatives we hadn't seen in quite some time.  This picture is of Aberly with my cousin Melinda's kids.  None of them were in the mood for a group shot!
The rest of our trip was spent with my parents and Andrew who was home from college in New York.  Colin and I had a great afternoon out wine tasting while my parents watched Aberly.

Our last event of the trip was visiting Colin's grandmother Diane in Albany.  Aberly loved going up and down her stairs.

Since then, we've been gearing up for Christmas.  The snow has been falling.  Aberly isn't sure about playing in the snow since she has a hard time getting around. 
 
Aberly still loves her bath time.  The second picture is of her trying to get in the tub.  She does this most nights.  Patience is not her strength!
