Abby!

So, in lieu of not blogging for weeks, I decided I better make up for some lost time! Abby is getting bigger every single day! We took her to the pediatrician to get her immunizations and he told me she was "the picture of perfect health" and that it was time to move on to bigger and better foods. She is not what you would call a picky eater, so that is good. She basically will eat whatever you put in front of her, with the exception of bananas still. I don't blame the girl, I personally think there are only two uses for bananas, in banana cream pie and in banana bread.
She has learned how to get around to anywhere she wants to go by using the pivot and roll method. Here are a few pictures of her rolling in action.
Hmmm... I think I want to get that toy over there! Watch me go! Here I go!


Oh, such hard work... Ahah! I got it! Now, if I could only get Honey to leave me alone!!



Honey and Abby are becoming pretty good friends! Honey thinks Abby is playing with her and Abby thinks Honey is playing with her! All in all, they get along pretty well, which is something that I was pretty worried about when I found out I was pregnant.


Here she is standing up next to her "jumperoo". It is a good thing that she likes to play with it from the outside because pretty soon she will not be able to be on the inside!

Well, as you can see, she is certainly growing bigger every day and all the other things are going really well for the Snyder trio! Steve is loving his new job and I am loving staying at home!

New car... kind of!


Since Steve had started at his new job, as grateful as I am for it, we had decided that we were going to be on the search for a "rice burner" since he is now traveling to almost the airport in Salt Lake every day. You know, a little, beat up car that will efficiently get you from point A to point B, not necessarily "in style." After perusing around for a few weeks, we hit the jackpot! Sleek, stylish, but most importantly great gas mileage! It is a 1986 Honda Civic Wagovan. Have you ever heard of a Wagovan? I sure hadn't! Not until I met this beauty, of course. The best part about it is it only has 99,000 miles on it! It was bought brand new by a lady. She parked it under a tree about 2 years ago and was sick of looking at it, so she donated it to a charity. We then bought it from the charity. We are currently trying to give it a name, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know! Oh and by the way, try not to be tooo jealous!

Official bloggers!


So, I did it, I finally broke down and got a blog! After unrelenting prodding from many friends, I had to give in!

A little about us... We got married March 17, 2006 and had our sweet little baby girl on October 9, 2007. Abigail Kate Snyder.


She was 7 lbs and 14 oz, 21 inches long. She has never stopped growing since! She is now 6 months old and pushing 25 pounds. What a porker, eh? She is one of the happiest babies I have ever seen. From the moment she wakes up, she has a big grin on her face, with exception of hunger, tiredness and diaper needing attention of course!
I am currently working from home and loving it! I am able to work and take care of my Abby at the same time. Best of both worlds! Steve is currently unemployed and hating it! So, the job search continues. But, since he has been home, I have been able to kick my work up a notch, since I don't have to worry about taking care of Abby, which has been helpful in the $$ arena.

Here are some more pictures of Abby.

She is such a nerd! She loves the bathtub! We have figured out her favorite food is green beans. Well, that is out of the 10 foods she has tried! She absolutely hates bananas! The face she pulls is priceless!




As you can see, she did not come out with very
much hair on her head. All I can say is that I certainly proved the heartburn myth wrong! We combed it into a mohawk so you could see it better. Luckily, that is another part of our little girl that is growing every day!
I am sure there will be more pictures to come. Maybe this will be my motivation to take more pictures, since nothing else has worked! I guess only time will tell!
