Abby listening to the book that Nagymama recorded for her.

Recently, she has started responding to the book. It's so sweet to see her face light up when we turn the page and she hears her Nagymama's voice telling the story. We tried to capture it on video! It was working pretty well, until Abby realized her Daddy was the one behind the camera. Then she just wanted to smile at him! :)

At the pool with Grandma

My mom came for a visit yesterday! My mom and I hung out while Abby napped and then the three of us went to the pool together in the afternoon. Fun times!

Enjoying our last days of summer

Enjoying the last days of summer...

So big

Here is a glimpse of Abby during playtime! There is something about these that make her seem so much more of a big girl! Don't you think? Especially how she responds to me in the video. She is so much fun to play with. Yes it's true...I love every minute of playing blocks with her. She is sitting up all by herself. I put the pillow there for added cushion!






After dinner and before bed, Abby watches 20 minutes of Elmo's World. She loves it just as much as she loves her Elmo's song video clip.

And just when I thought she wasn't paying attention to me at all....

Bath time!

Abby has always loved her bath...since the very first one. It has been fun to watch bath time evolve from a quick clean-up to some splashing and now to play-time! She plays with her little rubber duckies. I think her favorite bath times are the ones her Daddy gives her. Sometimes I stand outside the door and and listen to them laugh and squeal with excitement. There is always lots of splashing too!

Hello Rocky! Abby looks like she is a boxer gearing up for her next fight, but she is really headed for the tub! :)

Swing!

Saturdays are the best! Especially when the weather is beautiful and we have lots of time to spend together. Today we took a walk together as a family and stopped by the playground for Abby's first time on a real swing! She had lots of fun.

Made with love

My Nagymama sent Abby a handmade sweater and hat for the winter. Made with love...just like the sweater she made my favorite baby doll when I was little. I love it so much that I made Abby take a picture in her new hat with her first baby doll (also picked out by Nagymama!).

Thank you, Mamama!
