walking ladybug!!!

Our babe just stood and walked across the living room tonight, twice! I knew she was getting close and very sturdy when standing. This is definitely one of those sweet joyful moments of parenting!! Love to all.

almost 1!

We got back from a trip to Ohio and Michigan this weekend just in time for Easter. Traveling was a blast with our girl and she even sprouted 2 maybe 3 teeth (she won't let me look back in the way back)!

11 month old little ladybug!!!!

Abigail is fast! We are walking her all around, she still holds on to our hand but is getting really close to being off and running!!
Her personality is so sweet and funny. She is super curious and must figure things out before moving onto the next item.
10 teeth are in and pediatrician says her 2nd molars are ready to push through:ouch.

We LOVE being outdoors and have been swinging, planting spinach in the garden and getting the flower beds ready to go for the warm weather!

Spring is coming in Virginia!!!!!!

10 months and MOBILE!!

Gotcha! Tooth #9 is in and was a doozie!

"Coq Au Vin" Julia style

My funny Valentine

sweet baby Claire

"Frosty" is an ACC fan

Abigail started saying "mama" on Valentine's day- what a treat for me!!!!

Nine month old shots

Our sweet baby girl continues to awe us with her peaceful spirit and curiosity for life. An angel/textbook baby (I'm sure I read this somewhere along the journey), she feeds herself finger foods mostly everything we offer her- lots of veggies and savory things too and is an excellent sleeper/napper. Lately, she isn't sleeping thru the whole night because she wakes up and stands up in her crib- and cannot get back down:( We are working on the sitting and lying down parts.

She seems to enjoy the ymca and loves to play ball, anything with the plastic ball! And water! Baths, swim class, cleaning hands, dishes.....

Abigail is walking with support all around! and very fast!! She loves floating and kicking in the water and has discovered the swing at the playground. She is more social than we are as she waves to all and makes friends in stores while reaching out to touch their noses and mouths. Antibacterial bug juice please!

Being silly with grandma is fun and so are play dates!!:)
