My best friend had her baby shower July 18th! Her mom and sister-in-law threw it, I was just in charge of the cakes! It was a lot of fun and she got the loot! Earlier this year Abby and I went with Britta and her mom, Terri, to Britta's 3-D ultra sound. I've never seen one done and it was amazing! The detail the 3-D gives is remarkable! I will have to look into it with my next one! In the pictures from top left to bottom right: Abby & Braxton, Britta, Britta's mom, Terri & her grandchild, Madison, Britta & her sis-in-law Mary Sue, the cakes, Mary Sue & Madison, and one of Britta's crazy aunts, Tina!
For the past couple of years, Brent and I would go floating with a bunch of friends on July 4th! We leave in the morning and usually get back just in time for late evening BBQs and fireworks at the golf course!
Happy 4th of July! Love you all-Brent, Tory and Abby!!!!!!!!!
Brent is an amazing dad! I am so lucky to have such a supportive and caring father to our child! He works so hard so I can go to school and be home with Abby! But his day is never over when he gets off work. He is always so excited when Abby greets him at the door! For being such a hard working daddy, Abby got Brent 3 tickets to a Royals game, for a guys night out!Brent, Payden and Landon! July 3rd 2009.
While Brent was with his buddies, Abby, Christy, Curtis, Stef, Mom and myself went to Ken and Angels anual 4th of July party! (July 3rd this year!) Abby was so fasinated with the fireworks! She would point and shreek at them all!
Abby loves going to Grandma and Grandpa Abreu's house! There is always so much to explore! But on this particular day her biggest interest was Grandpa's shiny black boots! So we put her in them and she danced away. She thought these boots were the greatest thing!
Abby is such a water baby! She loved the pool and all the kids in it! She had no fear of the water and would take off and go as deep as she could and then some! She loved the slide and jumping into the water and splashing!
Ahh I have a lot of catching up to do but first I wanted to share this video about Extended Rear Facing.
By law a child can be turned Forward Facing at one year AND 20 lbs, but AAP(American Academy of Pediatrics) released this statement and information on Extended Rear Facing on April 4th 2009. http://aapnews.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/30/4/12-a
What to consider when positioning carseats for toddlers.
Lori O’Keefe Correspondent
New research indicates that toddlers are more than five timessafer riding rear-facing in a car safety seat upto their second birthday. Following are some safety tips forcar seat use:
All infants should ride rear-facing in either an infant carseat or convertible seat.
If an infant car seat is used, the infant should be switchedto a rear-facing convertible car seat once the maximumheight (when the infant’s head is within 1 inch of the top of the seat) and weight (usually 22 pounds to32 pounds) have been reached for that infant seatas suggested by the car seat manufacturer.
Toddlers should remain rear-facing in a convertible car seatuntil they have reached the maximum height and weightrecommended for the model, or at least the age of 2.
