I heart blocks

Abby's most favorite toys right now are these cheap plastic blocks that came inside a plastic barn. She's so easy to please!

Success! er, sort of?

Today we tried apples...and she ate them! Well, maybe a total of 1/2 oz or maybe less...but at least she opened her mouth for them and "chewed" (in between the hideous this is gross face). And we only got one gag. I think this is the start of something!

Happy Mother's Day!

Abby's daycare made little gifts for all the Mommy's. Finger-painted hand prints on a pot with a picture flower and a poem.

I'm so lucky. ;)

Daycare Diaries...Part 4

Only Abby plays with the toys.

I took off work yesterday and spent the whole day with Abby at home (well, and her ENT appointment). When I got to daycare today her teacher told me that after I called yesterday and said she wasn't coming in, they picked up all the fun toys that are scattered around the room and put them away. Apparently "Abby is the only one that plays with the toys...the others just stare at them and aren't sure what to do". :)

So today she was glad to see Abby and went and pulled them all out again for her.

She has them trained already!

Tummy sleeping

Swing batter, batter...

We went to Abby's first baseball game last night! Southwest Airlines rented out the pool area of the Round Rock Express ballpark and invited my whole department from work. It was so much fun...after Abby woke up. :) She slept through half of it, but that's OK!

Conversation with a cat

Last night I was feeding Abby on the living room couch when Shelby decided to join us. Once the cat was within sight - the bottle meant nothing to Abby. She sat up on my lap, pushed the bottle away, and proceeded to have a long conversation with the cat. I don't know what she was telling her, but she was very serious about it. And Shelby just listened.

I finally just gave up on the feeding and let her talk her little heart out. So cute.

Daycare Diaries...Part 3

Babies are boring.

I went to pick Abby up from daycare yesterday and her teacher told me that throughout the day now, they have to bring over some of the older babies from Room 2 to play with Abby. They sit them down right in front of her and she just happily plays with them.

If she is stuck in the room with the younger babies...she's bored, mad and fussy. :)

Her teacher said "I'm pretty sure she thinks the younger babies are just plain boring...!"

The funny thing is - they are all relatively the same age. Abby is the oldest in her class now, but the next in line is only 9 days younger! But that one is not sitting up yet on her own...nor are any of the others...so I guess they aren't as entertaining as the bigger ones are.

HA HA HA

Should we be worried?

This is what Abby's new thing is. And each day she's getting stronger and can get herself up even more. I took this video a couple days ago...and as I type this now, she's actually on her knees and elbows. Oh my. Look out world...her she comes!

No bananas!

That girl. We thought for sure bananas would do the trick and get her interested in solids. She outright refused it. Maybe by the time she's 13 we'll have her on something other than a bottle... *sigh*
