Abigail really does love her thumb, but she'll share if you ask her. She just looks so mischievious with that little smile, doesn't she?

Abigail and her daddy built a tunnel out of pillows between the couch and coffee table the other day. She is quite the tunneler. Looks like fun to me!

Good morning, take these!

Well i've come to the conclusion that Abigail will now be wearing a onesie under her pajamas. The other morning I stood outside her door listening to her talk to herself, which is soooo cute. Then I decided to get the camera to video it. Well in the meantime, she decided she didn't want dressed anymore. I walk in, laughing so hard, and manage to get this sweet picture. You can't really tell from the picture, but she is still a little sleepy, and completely naked.

John has this mask that he got as part of a gift exchange with Young Life. And we put it on Abigail yesterday. The funny part is, she liked it, and proceeded to wear it around for quite awhile later. She just went about her normal buisiness, but wearing the mask. She is so stinking silly!

So I know, it's been a while, but we wanted to make sure everyone got to see that last picture. Here is a picture of Abigail after we shared a popsicle the other day. I think she enjoyed it just a little bit.

GUESS WHAT?

Check out my shirt

Abigail got a new shirt. Do you like it? She seems to be excited about it. Look at that smile.

Where to next?

Abigail and I have simply been loving the warm weather, and Bob (our weatherman) tells me that it'll soon be over. We were outside forever today and I just thought she was too cute in her jeans and jean jacket and boots, that I went back in for the camera. I think she may actually be thinking, "when is Daddy coming home?" TOMORROW PUNKIN', TOMORROW!

Abigail has never been a very touchy baby, snuggles are few and far between. She is also very independent, so I treasure those times that she will let me hold her hand. She has actually started to do it more lately, and it is soooo sweet. Here we are walking across our yard this afternoon.

I can do it myself!

This morning as I was putting some laundry away Abigail decided to grab a pair of pjs out of the basket and try to put them on. As you can see she was successful with the right arm, but had a bit of difficulty with the rest. I thought it was too funny, I had to chase her down to get the photo though. And she doesn't have pants on, because, WHO NEEDS PANTS!

Ahhh!!! Pillows!

Yesterday as Abigail "helped" me change the sheets on the bed I piled all the blankets and pillows on the floor. As she has done everytime i've changed the sheets recently, she went up to the edge of the pile, and said, "Aaa, aaa, aaa!" (I think she was trying to count.) Then she dove into the pile, here she is shortly after one such dive.

First let me explain Abigail's attire. Usually in the mornings I don't rush in her room at the first sound, so this morning I just hung out for a while when she woke up. She got quiet again, so I sat on the couch for a bit, then she started "talking" so I went to peek at her. All I could see was her legs up on the side of the crib, then in a few seconds I heard the unmistakeable rip, rip of her taking off her diaper. I go in and say, "Hey what are you doing?" As I see her laying there disrobbed from the top down and her diaper almost off.(she had footy pjs on at the time) So I changed her and put just pj pants on her. So then when we came out the first thing she said was "down" whle pointing at the chair she's sitting in, so she sat there watching the fish, with Lamby, of course. I know she looks cold, but really i'm not a bad mommmy, she's really just doing that thing she does when she gets really excited and tenses up. She is so darn silly!

Abigail has this board in her room behind one of her dressers and the other day she was just really trying to pull it out. So I layed it on the floor for her, and she started walking on it like it was a balance beam. she is just too darn funny sometimes.

Abigail has become very fond of taking her Cheerios and putting them on her kitchen and eating them. But the other day she discovered she could stab them with the fork from her kitchen and then eat them. She even shared a few with me, so nice!

As small babies can be hard to carry around find another means to transport them, like the basket at left. I mean look, Abigail says it's much easier.

Make sure the baby is hydrated. Look at what a good sharer Abigail, sharing her milk with the baby.

This evening as Abigail was terrorizing the living room, she picked up the purse I got for Christmas and slung it over her shoulder and waved and said, very matter of factly, "Bye, Bye!" as though she was on her way right out the door. Here she is duplicating it for me and the camera, though it does appear as though she is more scratching her ear than waving, she waved when she did it the first time.

Now that's some cute laundry

We have a tall laundry basket for towels and sheets in our bathroom, well the other day Abigail felt the need to knock it over, and then get in it. I do think she is perhaps the cutest laundry i've ever seen, don't ya think?

KISS ME!!

Originally uploaded by abigail0723.

Abigail and I have always been silly about the way we give kisses, sometimes its through the rungs on the porch, sometimes its around a corner, here Abigail is trying her hardest to give me a kiss through the laundry basket she's in. It's pretty sweet, and most of the time these silly ways are the only ways I get any kisses at all. Look at those lips!

Here is Abigail attempting to change her baby's diaper. She plopped it down right where I change her, grabbed a diaper, and went to work. It's so funny how she's even sitting like I do when I change her diaper. She is a silly little thing.

Yesterday while we were playing with Abigail's Legos she decided to put the box on her head. "Where's Abigail" has always been on of our favorite games. And as you can see it still is, check out that smile!

While folding laundry today Abigail climbed into one of the baskets and while I had my back turned to hang something up she got a hold of her Daddy's underwear and put them on her head. Too funny not to get a picture of, she seems to be having a blast. Hey, at least this was AFTER I had washed them.

How many pairs of pants does a girl need?

Abigail was helping me fold laundry today, and she climbed in one of the baskets and grabed one of her pants. She is seen here trying to put them on, she was actually pretty successfull. She eventually got both legs in by herself, but couldn't pull them up. I guess the fact that she already had pants on may have had something to do with it.

This is Abigail having a great time with her Daddy this morning playing Legos. Well, really Daddy was building and Abigail was tearing down, but fun just the same.
