November 2014

Abby turned 18 months old on November 3rd. We made sure to measure her height on the growth chart board. 

For her half birthday, we got her a little princess potty. She hasn't used it yet but likes to sit on it!

I captured this sweet picture of Russ taking care of Abby after her bath one night. She likes for him to sit on the exercise ball and bounce her, then she fake cries when he stops!

Alisse babysat Abby for us one night and took her to a carnival with Lucy and Davis. She also put pigtails in her hair. I LOVE them on her but I can't make them look as cute as Alisse did.

See what I mean... in the picture below, I had attempted pigtails and the hair just fell out!

This picture was actually taken in October but I didn't see it until November so I of course had to include in this blog post anyway. Abby loves her two grandmas!

It's no secret that I love sleeping pictures, even if I take them after sleeping VERY uncomfortably with a toddler in bed with me.

I had to take this picture of Abby and share with a few of my sisters because she looks JUST like the little girl on "mouths of babes".

We took a visit to Grandpa Price's house and Abby LOVED seeing the horses...

... the blonde horse, Chloe, was her favorite.

Sharing my drink with Abby one day was a big mistake. She thought that meant it was her's. #spoiled

Cousins Abby and Davis in their cute jammies!

She's sitting on her toilet with her pants pulled down. Haha! Still not going potty on it!

Abby inherited her mom's OCD genes and shares Noah's obsession of lining things up.

Our cutest baby girl at our night-before-Thanksgiving dinner. We went around the table and said something we were thankful for. She mentioned "daddy", "whoawa", and "gampa". She also just folded her arms like it was time to say a prayer one time after we asked her what she was thankful for. Haha! We are so thankful for HER!

A few hours later, we did our Thanksgiving lunch. We had Mary Ann and the Hess family join all the Sherwoods (+ Grandma Riggs) for a really yummy spread!

Friday night after Thanksgiving, we set up a scavenger hunt around our neighborhood for our kids... a big secret we've been keeping from them was going to be revealed at the end. The older girls didn't come over so only Noah and Sophie were participating. We rode our bikes around the neighborhood to find all the clues. Each clue had a problem to solve that gave them a number and also a hint as to where the destination was for the next clue. The very last clue told them to put all the numbers together in order, to find the address of a new house we would be moving to. They were so shocked and so excited. It was a really fun thing to do with them and we are so excited about moving. We get to stay in our neighborhood & ward and we love it here! That night, Abby kept randomly saying "shfun" as we were riding bikes. That means "fun" in her language :)

Our last event of November was the annual Sherwood family bike ride. We rode bikes from Grandma & Poppy's house and then we had a picnic and some people played flag football.
