After my mother-in-law made me feel bad about not blogging, I decided I better catch up. I didn't feel so bad when I saw several people haven't blogged because the holidays. I can't believe Christmas is already over with! We had a wonderful time celebrating Gabby's first Christmas. Of course, she didn't care much. She did like her wagon. She sat in it for an hour and played with a ball. And of course, she got WAY too much. We are rearranging the office to become her play room.

The scary part is her birthday is in two months. I am having so much fun planning her party and picking out a cake to make her. I can't believe my baby is almost one! She has two more teeth and......

she is walking!!! Sorry the picture is blurry but you can't get her to sit still now. I will try to get Nick to download some video of her walking. Now for some Nanny stories! First one. Until a few years ago, my grandmother made noodles for Christmas. They are hard to explain, but they were delicious. She used to be a great cook. This year, she decided to make noodles again. We were kind of scared, given the fact that now she tries to cook everything in one pan. If she is having green beans, chicken and mac and cheese, she will just throw it all together and try to cook it at once. We thought she had forgotten about the noodles until Mom sent out a mass text message warning us NOT to eat the noodles. Apparently, Nanny thought a mouse got into them but was going to bring them anyway. Wednesday, we went to the get together with the people that go to church with Mom and Dad. The whole time Nick watched Nanny shove fudge and candy into her pockets. Nanny was tired so we decided to drive her home. Nick said, "Nanny, don't forget to take all that candy out of both pockets. I don't want it to melt." She just looked at him and said, " Two pockets?? I filled up three! Here you go, here is some for driving me home." I am not sure whether she remembered to take that candy out of her coat pocket or not. I doubt it. We rang in the New Year , I am sure, like any other couple that have a ten month old that hasn't been able to sleep well lately. Asleep. That was the first night in a very long time that Gabby slept thru the night. I start my taking my Speech class in a week! I am not looking forward to going back to school. I will being go two days and Nick will be going four nights a week! He is trying to hurry up and finish his degrees. I just hope he doesn't get burned out and I don't go crazy before he accomplishes them. Oh well, we will live thru it. Like he says, it is worth all the hard work and headache to become better for our family. Well, Bama just lost so I better go comfort my husband.
