End of Summer update

Hi friends!
Sorry it's been sooo long! So much has changed but one thing remains the same: we are so in love with little Abby! She captures our hearts daily and we are humbled by the gift of her in our lives.

Here's an update: Roger is still working hard at Cox and watching Abby a few days a week while I'm at school or work. I am starting my second semester in the nursing program in a few weeks. Abigail is sprouting up before our very eyes and astonishing us daily. Tonight I found her in bed counting her toes. She can count to eight now and likes to play with the soccer ball.

Here are some pics of our recent trip to Illinois and a few others!





Abby at Great Grandma's house on the river!

Getting goofy at Uncle Rob and Aunt Jane's!

First waterpark experience! She called the slides "Big toys"


Cousin Ryan is so goofy and fun!
This is at the airport baggage claim- as soon as we picked up the carseat she sat in it and said "Abby's seat!"
Sprinklers at a nearby park in Illinois- very fun.


Cousin Evan is goofy and fun too!

Aghhh....such a sweetie!
First time making brownies
Having fun with Julia in matching jammies
"Hat! Abby's hat!"
Jammies, babies and smiles!

Winter Update!

It's been so long since we've posted! Abby had her first birthday (which she enjoyed) and her first cake (which she didn't enjoy-not much for cake I guess!) Although it was her second Christmas, it felt like her first since she was a newby last year! She loves playing with her new toys, helping out in the kitchen (or on the countertop!) and she likes trying shoes on all the time. She can say about 12 words now and she loves to wave bye-bye. Here are some pics of the last few months! We also went to the Chargers playoff game in San Diego with our friends Rueben and Dana. It was a blast!

10 months and walking!

Abby continues to amaze us! This month she has been walking everywhere. She got her first pair of real walking shoes from her Gret-Grandma Betty in San Diego. She is 17 pounds of energy! We are having so much fun with her.

9 months and standing


Here's some new pics of the little one! She likes blueberries, cheerios and pulling food off of her Uncle Abe's plate. She chases our poor cat cookie around the house in hopes of finally catching her by the tail.

Abigail's trip to Illinois!

Abigail enjoyed her first plane ride into Chicago early this week! She also enjoyed her first big cold (presumably from the plane!). It was a great trip but she missed her daddy alot so we decided to come home- despite lost luggage!


Here she is eating her first "Star puff"....later on I dipped one in BBQ sauce and that gave her quite a surprise!


She's climbing stairs! (Chairs and cabinets too) Yikes!



....playtime with her Great Grandma Jean


A shower for Abby and my cousin's new baby Lily! My Aunt Ami made this pretty cake.



Here we are opening gifts....


Abby and my cousin Evan...


We fed the ducks on Great Grandma's dock by the river alot!


Abby played in the grass with her cup and got her toes and knees dirty for the first time.


She met her Uncle Kurt for the very first time!




Alas, back in Solana Beach and playing in the park on a walk back from pizza port with her Grandpa Greg.

Happy 4th of July!


Her first soccer ball! Of course its pink! She lives in a pink world...


She loves her fishy! She knows three words: kitty, fishy and her name! We're working on the "no" part....lol





Learning to climb the crib! She's happy to get up to standing but inevitably she falls and bumps her head!



Abby looking cute on her first Independence Day!
