February Fun

The end of February was filled with lots of fun visitors and constant movement. Abby is unstoppable. You'll see from the pictures that it is actually very challenging to get a picture of her these days because she doesn't sit in one spot for very long! :) Here are some highlights from the last 2 weeks:

Abby has always been a snuggle bug, but lately she has loved snuggling with all her pillows and stuffed animals. She always wants us to put her up on the couch or our bed for that reason.

Abby is her Daddy's shadow in the morning.When Joe goes into the bathroom to start getting ready, Abby gets up from what she is doing to follow him right in. They sit on the floor together while Joe brushes his teeth and then Abby opens the cabinet for him to get the mouthwash out. She sits right at his feet watching him shave. Definitely her Daddy's girl.

"Hi Daddy! Are you ready for me to come in yet?"

Abby loves to wear her bracelet around the house. She puts it on by herself, then she models it for everyone who walks into the room.

When Grammy came to visit two weeks ago, Abby discovered her love for a new accessory: the scarf! Grammy let Abby wear hers all around the house.

Why use your hands when you have a mouth?

More photos of Abby with Joe in the morning:

Abby's new fascination with scarves has evolved into a love for all things draped around her neck....boa constrictor style. The other day she went into my room and when she walked back out she had my belt around her shoulders like this:

Do you think she knows how cute she is? :)

I'm not really a fan of McD's, but Abby did have her first Happy Meal. Of course, she enjoyed it and is probably going to be addicted to fast food for the rest of her life now. NO! I'm just kidding! But, she did enjoy her burger and fries. Not to mention, the little doll she got. She carried it all around the house with her.
Some more shots of Abby rocking a scarf and looking like an Indian princess:

Oh wait, here she's rocking the belt and the scarf. A true fashionista in the making. She might be creating a new style and we don't even know it yet.


Our good friends from Syracuse came to visit with their little girl, Claire. We met her for the first time this past weekend. What an adorable girl. It's been fun to see the way Abby interacts with little kids now. When we let Abby out of her high chair after lunch, she just walked right over to Claire and sat down to play with her.


Then, she decided to give Claire a hug and tackled her to the ground.

'Whoops...sorry friend!"

Just the next night, Abby's friend Maddie came over to dinner with her family. After dinner, Abby and Maddie sat and started to watch a video while the adults finished eating. Five minutes later, I decided to get up and check on them. When I looked in the living room, they were gone. I quietly peeked into Abby's room and they were both sitting on the floor playing with toys together. Seriously? Abby followed her little friend into the room to play. When did my baby become such a big girl?


February was packed with fun! Hello March! We are ready for spring.
