What's been going on.

First our four-legged baby!  Dixie has been limping after she has been laying down for a while. At first it was just in the morning after sleeping, but then it started happening more often.  We were told when she was a puppy, she would probably have hip problems, because of the way she sits.  She sits more on one hip than the other.  Jon took her to the vet today and the vet said she's fine.  One of her ligaments attached to her knee is moving out of place when she lays down, and she can't put pressure on it until it pops back in place.  The vet said it's not that uncommon and that she will learn how to pop it back in place immediately. She just hasn't learned how to do it immediately yet.  I guess I really didn't know how much I loved her until this, because it terrified me that it was something major and I would cry, when I would see it happen.  I never thought I would cry over a dog, but she really is a part of the family. 

Now our two-legged baby! :) Abbie Mae amazes me daily.  She has discovered her tongue and that she can stick it out and "play" with it.  It is so cute.  Her fine motor skills are becoming better, she is pulling the bottle in and out of her mouth.  The other day she took out her pacifer and put it back it.  I introduced her to her first sippy cup yesterday.  She is learning how to use it and is a little unsure about it.  It's a different type of nipple than her bottle.  I didn't see any like her bottle, but I am going to look some more.  We are going to Savannah next week, and then she has a doctor's appointement on the 9th and we get to take about adding baby food to her diet.  I am excited to watch her experience new things.  I love that girl more than words can describe!! 

This is brithday week for our family.  My cousin, Dystiny, is the 26th, Jon's is the 28th, our sister-in-law,Claire is the 29th, and our nephew, Brody is the 30.  It gets a little chaotic! :)  Jon loved his present.  Abbie Mae and I got Jon a giant Georgia Tech flag that goes on the house. 

So that is what's going on in La Casa Del Bartonto!
