Growing up

Abby has grown so much that it was time to move her to the front of the shopping cart. No more laying in her carrier and sleeping through most of our shopping trip. Oh no. Now, she really keeps me company all around the store. I like having a shopping buddy.

family time

After a very busy week, this weekend was just what the three of us needed: lots of quality time together! The weather was gorgeous and the timing was perfect. We took it easy, but really enjoyed our time by taking walks and being outside. We can honestly say Labor Day weekend has been fun and restful!

Abby's position in the stroller really says it all....Feet up and lounging while taking in the beautiful day = Bliss!

(this is how Abby ends up sitting in all of her stroller rides and it cracks me up! I love those little feet.)




Goodbye Summer! Hello Fall...bring on the leaves, apples and the smell of the first day of school!

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

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! :)
