Pulling Up and Peekaboo

Two of Abbie's newest favorite games...

She will cover her face and when you say "Where's Abbie" she'll pull it off. Age old simple game...yet babies always find it so fun! :)

Our Abbie is 8 months old today. It's amazing how time has flown by and how big she is getting. This month has found Abbie with a few new tricks. She babbles all the time and says "mama" (yay!). She also has begun crawling. It starts with her on all fours, then it turns into a version of the 1980s worm dance and moves right into the productive army crawl. She is not too fast yet, but very motivated and determined to get where she wants to go. She has begun waving "hi" after her naps and it's so cute; she is really excited about it. She also is quite the wiggler and dancer whenever she hears music so she and Evan do this a lot. Her most recent thing is to pose when she sees the camera - cute but it makes it hard to get any action shots as she will stop and pose - I may just have another ham on my hands. Abbie is big enough for the tub seat now and she and Evan are having a great time in the bath splashing and laughing together. She has also begun to experiement in the world of cheerios and is quite proud of herself when she gets them in her mouth. She has started copying us when we are eating by making the chewing motion with her mouth; she is virtually begging for our food. She is such a joy and she and Evan have so much fun together. I can't believe that we are only 4 months away from having a 4yr old and a 1yr old - where is the time going?

Grandma and Grandpa's Visit

Grandma and Grandpa came for a brief visit and we had a great time having them. Evan and Abbie were so excited and even got to have a delayed Christmas. This made Evan extremely happy!
