Alligator, Alligator

Abby's new favorite pool song:

Alligator, Alligator standing on the wall
Alligator, Alligator watch me fall!

(that's her in the pink swim cap)

Dentist

Abby's first visit to the dentist was last week and she was such a trouper!  No tears, no fussing, a perfect little angel. We did have to do some major convincing to let the dentist in her mouth, but she did it and her teeth look great!

Here she is with her crazy glasses on since the light was so bright. :)  Matt says she looks like she's in a space ship!

Mozart

We have been looking at pianos for a couple of years and found one that we couldn't pass up.  It's circa 1920, but in excellent condition.  And it fits perfect in our house!  I'm hoping to learn how to play at least some basic songs, and Abby will start piano lessons at her school when she turns 3.

So far so good - she took right to it!

And here it is in our house!

A bit of tea...

Abby's class had a tea party yesterday and we don't own a tea set, so we brought decorations instead...hats for the girls and ties for the boys.  They were very well dressed for the occasion!

Trains!

My mom and sister came to visit Abby last weekend and got roped in to her most favorite attraction at the mall. :)

Dancing

And rockin' the guitar...

Swim Lessons

Abby had her first swim lessons last night and loved it.  She was a bit timid at first until she figured out how it all worked, but then she loved it!  We will go once a week until she's winning the Gold medal at the Olympics...

Happy Easter!

We've had a fun Easter this year.  Abby is loving the holidays!

Dying Easter eggs

Finished product!

Oh - there is a green one!

"I see a pink one!"

Six eggs this year - a record!

This is the closest she would get to the bunny. 

She liked him, but wouldn't do it alone.

Videos

I am getting ready to head to Australia so I thought I'd post a few videos of Abby over the last couple of days.  I took some time off before my long trip to just have fun with her.  I love how much personality she has!!

Garbage Man!




Running like a crazy girl on our country club lawn!




Today I took her to a place called Jumpstreet.  There are rows and rows of trampolines and bounce houses, and foam ball pits, and video games.  There is an entire section for little ones...and this morning we had the place all to ourselves for about 15 minutes!

Bluebonnets are here

With all this rain we've been getting, the wild flowers are popping up all over town.  Our neighbor (who is also Abby's teacher Ms. Jo) had planted bluebonnets last year in their flower bed.  Those same bluebonnets have come back this year in force and are now taking over their entire yard!  Before they get them under control, we thought it was a perfect time to snap a few photos of Abby.
