To Bib or Not to Bib. . .

This was a while ago. . . she is much faster at bib removal now! Actually, at this point, we are not even putting one on.

Learning learning, always learning!

This girl has had quite a day today, even though she is sick, she never ceases to amaze. Two things in particular strike me as significant today:

(1)    She has learned about Kleenex. She voluntarily reached toward the Kleenex box, pulled one out, and put it to her nose. She has learned what Kleenex are for! Thank you cold.

(2)    She mimicked “uh oh”! I dropped something and said it, and she repeated what I said! I said it again, then she said it again.

One more thing: no more bibs. This is the new rule per Abigail. She has learned how to un-Velcro her bib, so now she doesn’t want to have it on at all.  Thank goodness she is neat, so we can actually get away with feeding her without a bib. For now. . . 

Look Mom, no hands!

Abigail really likes her bouncer, so much so that sometimes I think she's going to bounce right through the ceiling. This is the first time I've seen her hands free!

Memphis Adventures

Our Memphis trip started with Abigail trying out her grandmother's wooden highchair. My mother says that even her mother sat in this chair! This was also the highchair that I ate out of so, there is a lot of history here!

Then some special time with granddaddy.

Out for a stroll. Glad to spend some time with Uncle Bubs from NY. I got to meet his girlfriend, Lauren too!

Here is a video of Abigail and her walker. Thanks to Grandad's discovery of the demo toy at the toy store. Ever since then it was a done deal, we knew we had to get this toy. What a special moment to see this little girl "walk" with just a little help from this push toy!

Thank you so much Grandmama for my first basketball! (Just in time for March Madness!) Here is a quick glimpse of our natural athlete. As time goes on, she's getting better and better at throwing and playing catch. I should also note, today, she threw this basketball from the living room into the kitchen! (Well, she threw it, then it bounced, and rolled into the kitchen.) Nevertheless, I was impressed!
