Busy Week

Abby has had a pretty busy week, and we really haven't done a whole lot. There's just a whole new world for her to explore. She is making from room to room quite well (see video below). Her upper teeth are starting to come through. You can barely see them, but they are poking through. Other than that, we have been having fun keeping up with her. She is pulling up and very independent. It is bittersweet. Nonetheless, we love seeing her learn and explore. Here are some of our recent adventures.

Here Kitty, Kitty.

Phoebe was trying to hide from Abby, but our little girl is too smart!
Don't worry. Neither Abby nor Phoebe were hurt.


Crawling on the linoleum can be tricky!


But getting to play games with Mommy and Daddy
makes it totally worth it. Here she plays a favorite,
peek-a-boo, from the kitchen.


Phoebe is glad that we set up some boundaries
during the day.


"Now I can pick my own toys, Mommy!"
Here she chews on the Incredible Hulk
toy Steve got for Christmas.


We were so excited to be invited over for a play date
with the Harris quads! They seemed to think Abby was
loads more fun now that she is mobile.


She and Reagan were even able to get some quality
girl time in during the visit.


When asked if he liked going shopping and to the
Olive Garden with the girls,
Ben seemed less than pleased. However, he was
all smiles after the camera was put away.
He's such a sweetie!!

While Aunt Tiffany and Mommy enjoyed soup, salad, and
bread sticks, Abby tried out her new sippy cup and some
zwieback toast.

Believe it or not, she is actually napping here.
I tried to move her, but she kept going back to this position.
I settled for listening to her breath through the monitor.

Can you believe that it might actually snow tomorrow!!!!
We are SO excited!

That is just a taste of our latest adventures. For example, while preparing this post, she tried to crawl behind the couch and had to be pulled out at the last minute before she got stuck! She will be 9 months old on Tuesday. (Hard to believe, isn't it?) We go to the doc for a check-up on Thursday. Pray for her because she will have to get blood drawn to check her iron levels. I will post an update on weight (approx. 1 ton now) and height (approx. 6 feet) and all of that kind of stuff when we get back. Until then, have a great week and Let It SNOW!

Watch her go! I can't believe she's so big now.

Hey Angie, where did you get those cloth totes (the green ones you keep toys in). Philip and I looked for some the last time we were out but to no avail.

Thanks!
