Once you go Mac...

Good thing I can get Apple discounts.

Our little Picasso

Abby's first painting. We are just so, so proud and I cannot wait to hang it on our fridge tonight!!

Raspberries and tummy sleeping?!?

My girl is getting so big. It used to be she hated tummy time. But now that she is sleeping through the night, when I go to check on her in the wee morning hours (I just can't help myself!) - or when we go to wake her up in the morning - she's on her tummy with her hands curled up under her face. Part of me loves it because she looks so cute and comfy...the other part of me freaks out when I see it thinking she is going to suffocate. Oh the life of a parent. And I have been known, on occasion, to flip her back over on her back. Good thing she's a heavy sleeper and it doesn't even phase her!

The funny part of it all though, is that sometimes when she's on her tummy in the mornings she's just chatting away. I'm not sure if she's talking to her hands - or the bed sheet - or just to her imaginary friend, but she will chat and chat and chat until we say something to her. Then that is when we get those awesome morning smiles. :)

She has also figured out how to blow raspberries. You know that noise you can make with your lips/tongue which also lets you blow spit everywhere?!? And her most favorite time to do it is either during said tummy time in the mornings, or when Mommy is trying to give her liquid medicine. I'm pretty sure she thinks it's super funny to mash her lips together and blow raspberries when I'm trying to pry them open to get a medicine dropper in there.

I have a feeling we are going to have our hands full with her as she starts to grow up!

Talking with Daddy

Abby and Matt were having a really serious conversation yesterday and I happened to catch it all on video. ;)

Log rolling and talking...

HAPPY EASTER!

Today our Country Club and HOA had an Easter "Egg-stravaganza". They had a petting zoo, blow up slide, face painting, egg hunts, food...the works. It was KID mania. And total Suburbia. :) But it was really fun and Abby loved being outside and watching all the kids running around. The weather is beautiful - it's sunny and 80 degrees. We walked from our house to the club and it was perfect!

And of course - we had to snap some photos of Abby with the Easter Bunny! We couldn't really get her to look at us. She was so interested in this large white fluffy thing...and wanting to put the large white fluffy hand in her mouth...that she couldn't focus on us or the camera. haha

I'm a big girl now!

Abby is eagerly trying to learn to sit up all by herself, so we bought a Boppy pillow to give her a little support (and a soft place to fall...). She's been "practicing" sitting up a lot. Even today when I tried to put her in the car seat she much preferred to sit up than to lay back and let me buckle her in. It's really cute watching her each day. Seems each week brings a new skill for her to master.

I tired to upload a video of her sitting on the Boppy beside me on the couch, but for some reason blogger won't let me. So I put it on YouTube!

Jump, jump, jump

Abby has started to actually "jump" in the jumperoo now! It has a setting that plays music when she jumps - and I think she's put two and two together and has it all figured out.

Such a smart girl. :)

Comb-over

Reminds me of someone I know...

Baptism

Abby was baptized at the Methodist Church in Ennis last Sunday, March 21. We were so worried about her being fussy, or bored, or hungry during the service but she surprised us all and was a perfect little angel.

Of course she couldn't NOT make her presence known...during the "let's bow our heads and pray" part, Abby thought that's the best time to let out a nice loud burp and three sneezes. :) That's my girl.

Here are some pictures of the day:

And Abby got to see her little man friend again this weekend too! My friend Lindsey was in town with her son Calan. I just love those two.

And one more - just for cuteness!
