Chubby

Abby is getting chubbier and chubbier. You can tell in this picture that she has little rolls on her arms and she has a double chin. She is such a laid back baby and kind of sometimes just goes with the flow. I guess she has to, to be able to keep up with Mason and Ava.

Welcoming Abram John Fruge

I am so glad to finally meet my Godson Abram john Fruge. He was born Wednesday, July 15, 2009 (exactly two moths after Abby) to Jill and Casey Fruge. He weighed a whopping 5 lbs. and 10 oz. and 19 inches long. He is precious in every way. He is going to call me Nanny Rae and can't wait to watch him grow!!!

Pearce Grandkids

While we were in Shreveport we decided to drive out to Doyline and visit with my brother and the Pearce clan. We did not get to stay for too long, but while we were there the kids really enjoyed it. The is a picture of all of Ducky and Papa's grand kids.

Austin, Abby, Mason, Ashley, and Ava

Breakfast at Sunrise!!!!

Mason and Ava got up about 7 a.m. one morning while we were in Shreveport and Huck decided to go get the paper and sit outside and read it. Well, the kids wanted to get a chair too, but they also decided they wanted to sit outside with Huck and eat breakfast. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen. They sat on either side of Huck while he read the paper and they ate their breakfast. Things like that make such wonderful memories!!!

Spending time at Gamma and Huck's

Now that we have 3 kids, When I pack to go to Shreveport it is a little harder to make sure we remember everything. This time i forgot to pack Ava some P.J.'s, so we decided to put her in one of Mason's shirts. She loved it. She thought it was so neat to be able to wear her big brother's shirt to bed. Mason liked it too!!!

Ava loves to clean any chance she gets. So when Gamma was wiping the floor down Ava decided she wanted to help her. Gamma just loved it that Ava liked helping clean!!!

Abby Renae "Therese" Huckabee

Abby was baptized on July 4, 2009 at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Zachary, La. Her Godparents are Casey and Jill Fruge. Thanks you to all the friends and family that joined us for this wonderful occasion.

Getting a blessing

Mason enjoyed his blessing

Smiling

Abby smiled the first time at the Louques house while Mallory was holding her. It was the cutest thing. She is smiling more and more now. I just love it!!!

Abby...2 months

i can't beleive Abby is 2 months. She is getting bigger and cuter by the day. I took her to the doctor for her checkup and she weighs 10 lbs. and 23 inches. i could beleive that she weighed that. i guess she is making for earlier when she did not gain weight.

Monkey see...Monkey do!

It is beginning to get more and more common that Ava plays with her baby dolls. She copies everything that Josh and I do with Abby. We were giving Abby a bath and Ava wanted to give her baby a bath...then Josh was sitting in the rocker and feeding Abby when Ava decides to pull Mason's rocking chair out of his room and place it right next to Josh and Abby and begin to rock her baby. I thought this was too precious!!!

Ava...one of a kind!!!

I am beginning to see why my mom and dad had such a hard time with me when I was little, that is because I have Ava(mini me). She is fully of energy and excitement. She loves attention, life and her sister and brother, but she can also be very feisty and stubborn as well. She eats like no other child I have seen. She likes all kinds of foods and loves to dip her food!!! She is getting better and better about being around Abby. Ava also loves to help me around the house by cleaning or doing laundry. Hopefully that will stick when she gets older.

Abby Update

I know that it has been awhile since I have posted pictures...but with three it gets a little harder to do things!

Abby has been doing great...she is steadily gaining weight and getting bigger by the day. She eats really well...pretty much by clock work and sleeps the rest of the time. She is only awake a couple of hours a day, but when she is awake she is steadily taking in everything around her. She came down with a type of dermatitis on her face a couple of weeks ago and we are finally starting to see it clearing up. Her eyes are STILL blue and big. Here are few pictures to catch you up on the past couple of weeks.
