Tag!

I'm It, I'm It! My first tag. Hmmm, this is opposite of playing tag when we were kids, when no one wanted to be it. Now it's kind of fun to know that people care about what I'm up to. (Of course I LOVE reading other people's more.) Oh, I was tagged by Sandy, my wonderful cousin from Tampa. Go Rays!!

1. A picture of Abbey & me...Well, I don't have a ton of them; moms seems to be the main photographers in most families. Many of the ones I do have are already on this blog, so I will post the most recent one of us. We were at the zoo, just the two of us, so I tried to take a "self portrait" type shot. She wasn't exactly cooperative.

2. How many children do you have ?

Just one for now. She is the light of our lives.

3. What is her age?

8 months (I can't believe she is 8 months already. Crazy!!)

4. What time do you start your day?

Sometimes it feels like I never really end my day, since Abbey still wakes up at night. (She did sleep 8 hours on Monday night, yeah!!) Usually I am in the shower around 5:45-6:00, and we are on the move from that point forward.

5. What do you eat for breakfast?

Sometimes granola, but when I go to Whole Foods (like this week) I have Lara bars.

6. Does she watch TV?

Nope

7. What are her favorite activities?

She loves being outside and being around people. It is so sweet to watch her light up and start "talking" to other kids (or adults.) She also loves her books (reading them AND eating them.)

8. Do you get a break during the day from her?

I work full time, so she is at home with Grandma Sharon during the day. I guess it is a break, and it pays the bills, but I miss her tons and wish there was another alternative :o(

9. How do you end your day?

Tired and with a ton of stuff un-done on my "to do" list. I recently joined the gym and do that some nights after Abbey's bedtime. It's great for my sanity, but it's not so good for my stack of papers waiting to be graded.

10. What is your best parenting advice or tip?

I am still looking for advice and tips more than dispensing them! I guess just to love them and enjoy them, since they are truly a gift. Oh, and to make them laugh a lot. I don't think there is a sound I love as much in the whole world as Abbey's little giggle.

Thanks for reading if you've made it this far. I will add a picture of Abbey just for fun. Oh and I tag Stacy to do the survey next, since she is one of my favorite moms in the world.
