More teeth

Abigail now has four teeth. Her top two teeth have finally made their way through. It shouldn't be long before she smiles and we see all of her teeth. In the few short days since she's gotten all of her top teeth through she's already picked up the bad habit of gritting her teeth. If I remember correctly, Austin did the same thing when his first came in too. It must be because it's something new. It drives me crazy, but for now I'm ignoring it in hopes that the urge to grit her teeth passes quickly.

She is really starting to cruise along the furniture. She's also let go a few times when she's standing against something. She'll let go and stand by herself for about 10 seconds at a time. I don't think she realizes what she's doing yet, but it puts her one step closer to the walking milestone.

Our Christmas tree and decorations are going up on Friday so it should be interesting to see how she reacts to everything. We didn't have a tree up at our house for Austin's first Christmas because Michael was getting ready to leave for Iraq and we were packing our things up to put in storage. We also traveled to Michigan that year for the holidays. I can almost guarantee Abigail will test the waters with the tree. We'll see what happens!

Where are the kids?

Looks like Christmas has already come at the Ringman's house. I guess that is what happens with the first grandchildren. Our house looks the same way.

Good Luck with the tree. Riley was great with her first Christmas experience. She wanted to help and that is when she took her first steps so made it will help.

Love,
Angie

Your Christmas this year should be very fun with Abigail looking at all of the decorations and Austin seems to be at the age when kids really start to understand what Christmas is.

Happy Turkey Day! and good look putting decorations up.
