It's been a long time since I've made time for my blog. So long that I am pretty sure I don't have many readers left....that is of course assuming I had lots of readers previously. :)

I have decieded to make a daily entry mandatory. There isn't a day that passes that Abby doesn't do something absolutely adorable. She's growing like crazy. She will be 6 months old on Friday.

Rob and I have our schedules worked out so I go to work in the morning and he stays home with her. He then goes to work in the evening and I stay home with her. My friend Dee watches her when our schedules overlap. It's working out wonderfully because even though I feel sad leaving her to go to work she is with Mom or Dad all day long.

A little known fact in the world of parenting is that children take over every room in the house and decrease the living quarters by at least half. My condo (2 bedrooms 1 bath) was nice and roomy till Rob moved in then Sweet Pea (the obese lab) and the last and final straw....the small human that takes up more room than all the rest of us combined. Needless to say when our lease is up we are going to move into a house.

Abby LOVES dogs. She has a special attachment to Rafiqe. He walks into the room and she stops whatever she is doing to laugh with her whole being. It's hilarious! When Rafiqe walks out of the room she looks at the door and cries....which brings him running back into the room to make sure she's okay...which brings on new fits of laughter from my daughter. I think it's funny that Abby has the dog trained better than we do and she can't even talk yet.

My mom and Kelly went to a group counselling session because they are having a hard time dealing with loosing Dylan. I wasn't invited. I was upset about that and my Mom tried to make it better by telling me that Kelly just needs her to go because Kelly can't really say how she feels in front of me. I told mom to stop talking because that wasn't improving the situation.

I cry often because I want Dylan. Whenever Abby does something new I think "Dylan would be doing that too." I hear Abby laugh and cry because Dylan never did. Will the emptyness ever end? I am not to dense to realize that as deeply as it effects me it has more effect on my Kelly and Tyler too.

Okay...enough sadness...now off I go back to work.
