Various and Sundry

We have now all recovered from our colds....well, mostly. We are keeping busy these days with all sorts of activities and new discoveries. Abby has visited friends at Rush Strong School and at South-Doyle High School among other things. She is really developing her muscles and learning to control her hands and feet more. It is so fun to watch her grab things and play with them. She is beginning to be very vocal as well. I thought we'd let you in on what we've been doing besides going to various schools.

Abby can sit up with a little help.
Here she takes a break from
looking at her feet to watch Daddy.

She has also discovered the greatest thing yet.
Here she is taking part in her new favorite past time...
sucking her thumb.

The Big Sale:
We joined up with a few friends and had a yard sale on Friday and Saturday. Abby was a real trooper. She didn't even mind the 90 degree heat too much. Of course, there was never a problem trying to find someone to take her inside to cool off. Here is how she passed the time.

First, one must take a nap. Bouncie offered a perfect setting.
She could nap and watch the people browse the sale.

Then, it is inside to get a sun hat.
She likes the Strawberry Shortcake style
for just hanging out.

Bouncie does not offer the breeze potential that the swing offers.
This is where she fell asleep for about an hour.
We were all very jealous.

She did pose for a picture or two before she dozed off.
(Don't worry.... that is not a blanket. It is a burp cloth
we had sitting on her swing tray.)
