15 months

Abby is 15 months old! She weighs 26.6 lbs and is 34 inches tall.

She loves baby dolls!
In December, she said her first word, “cookie!”Since then she also says, “hi,” “doggy,” “baby” and her name.
She loves books!
We made her a reading area for Christmas.
This was the best New Years picture that I could get of her.
She has just started coloring.
This is Abby talking with her turkey! She loves him!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

Abby had pancakes for the first time this morning and she loved them!
Jennifer’s parents and Shawn’s parents came to our house for Dinner.
Abby can stand on her own and has taken a couple of steps on accident. Once she realizes that no one holding on she sits down on the floor.
Abby still loves being read too!
Oh what a difference a year makes!
Abby went to see Santa (socially distanced of course). We hope everyone is staying healthy and safe during this pandemic.
This is the only picture of Abby by herself in her dress. Posting as requested.

Happy Halloween

We had a fun Halloween! We did not go trick or treating but we went to another family’s house in our costumes and had dinner.

Abby was the cutest bee! 🐝
Jennifer was also a bee and Shawn dressed as a bee keeper.
Our family was responsible for the dessert and we made Halloween Brownies!
I also took some pictures of Abby in our yard with pumpkins since we didn’t get to go to a pumpkin patch this year!
She insisted on having her bunny in the picture too! She takes that bunny lovie with her everywhere! (Don’t tell Abby but we actually have two so that they can be washed often)

Abby Turned One!

We had some professional pictures taken of our little one year old princess.
And she smashed a cake. She actually played in the icing for a few minutes and was done.
She went to her first soccer game.
We only stayed until half time because it was late, but she really seemed to enjoy the game!
The theme of her party was “Abby is Onederful.” We gave out these hand sanitizers as party favors.
Jennifer’s Friend handmaid this dress for her party!
During her party, we had lunch and then strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese icing.
She had three friends come to her party. It was hard to get them all to sit still and look at the camera.
The grandparents went a little over board with the presents.
We think she had a One-derful birthday weekend!

11 months

Abby is 11 months old! She is wearing 18 month clothes (and some 24 month), size three shoes, and size 4 diapers.

She can pull up now so it’s hard to get her to sit for pictures.
She is exploring her world and in to everything!
She can feed herself with a spoon!
Favorite foods are cottage cheese, mandarin oranges, bananas, blueberries, green beans, pasta with red sauce, and chicken salad.
She likes to stand on the porch
and watch the birds!
Bath time is still a favorite time of day! Sometimes Daddy gets in and plays with her (don’t worry, he is wearing swim trunks)
She is great at playing by herself and has a pretty long attention span for her age.
She is a very happy baby!
She is getting so strong and is close to walking!
She still has a thing about biting noses but we are working on that 🤷🏻‍♀️

10 months

We are so sorry that this post is late! We have been busy this month. Abby is doing very well and growing so fast! She is about 23 lbs and her 18 month clothes are getting pretty tight! She loves to eat, walk in her walker, and take a bath. She is waving hello and good bye and claps all the time. She loves playing peak-a-boo!

She would not keep that sticker on!
This one was my favorite!
She loves to eat and is pretty good at using forks and spoons! She loves yogurt, Mac and cheese, and mandarin oranges.
She enjoyed watching Shark week with Daddy in her Shark PJs!
We had friends from Colorado come to visit and meet Abby for the first time!
And she went for a play date with a baby her own age. That baby’s Mom is going to watch Abby on day a week while Jennifer and Shawn work.
We also went for a quick visit to Nana and Papa’s (Jennifer’s Parents) Abby started cruising for the first time! She will be walking soon! She is such a big girl!

9 months

Abby is growing so fast! We went to the doctor yesterday and she weighs 22 lbs and 10 oz and is 30.5 inches long. She is in size 18 month clothes, size 3 shoe, and a size 4 diaper. She babbles all day long and thinks peak-a-boo is the funniest thing ever!

She can’t stand test but she can stay standing if you put her there.
Everyone who sees he says how beautiful her eyes are.
We had a fun Fourth of July!
Abby loves hot dogs (cut up in little pieces of course).
Jennifer’s parent’s came to visit for the weekend and we cooked out (hamburgers/hot dogs, etc).
Abby with Papa Mike.
She is not crawling yet but zooms all around the house in her walker.
She loves to swing!
And play in her ball pit!
Abby went to the zoo for the first time. We went with our friends so have a baby about Abby’s age.
It was good for the girls to interact with someone their own age. Above you can see they had a very important conversation about Pacifiers.
We also celebrated Shawn’s birthday last month.
And she got to wear her party dress.
