Yay for Fall!

A couple of weeks ago, when we had our first 'fall-ish' day, my mom brought out of storage this awesome scarf to play with. I loved it!I should mention that it tasted REALLY good, too!!

Mmm....YUM!

Summin' up Summer

Hi Folks!
I can't believe it has already been another month since I've talked to you all!
Well, summer is over...so here is a brief summary of my life during the last month or so.

I started eating real food! I like pretty much everything...my veggies (carrots, sweet potatos, squash) are my favorite! I did gag a little with peas...but now I eat them just fine. It took me awhile to get used to fruit (I know I'm strange), but now I think I love all fruit except peaches. Man those peaches are yucky!!! Blech!
Here, I think my mom got more food on my face than in my mouth!

My mom did a fun little photoshoot with me a few weeks back...I think I was going for that "Norman Rockwell" look.

By the way, I started sitting on September 12th. Just one day after my 6 month birthday!

Here is a picture from a really special photoshoot of me in my mom's slip...she used to where it when she was a little girl like me! You can see more from this photoshoot on my mommy's blog.

Finally, I went swimming for the first time! Boy, was it a blast!
Here I am in my cool turtle floaty.

Good thing I have my dad's tan skin...
And my mom's awesome hair-do!Ahhh...my dad likes to cuddle and snuggle me.
Wahoo!
We sure had a blast up in my Nanna and Grandpa's pool. My uncle Aaron took this family photo for us.

Aren't we cute?!?!So, that's my summer in a nutshell.
Lots of love,

Abbey

Go THORLAK!!!

That's the name of my first Viking team!

Probably my ONLY Viking team! Ha ha!
I recently went up to Hume Lake with my parents....and with the rambunctious high schoolers from our church!
Yep, I attended my first high school camp...as a 5 1/2 month old!



It was great fun! The theme this year was Vikings and fur....lots and lots of FUR!!!

So, of course my mom had to make this AWESOME costume for me! I fit right in with those wacky big kids! =)

Here I am practicing my THORLAK roar!! I look like a mean Viking, huh?

Especially in that PINK!Okay...I couldn't hold that serious face forever! I started bustin' up here....my mom is so crazy!

luv,

The prettiest lil' Viking ever.

Peek-a-Boo!!

It's my favorite game!

I especially love when my dad puts my blanket over my head and then when I pull it off...
...my mom is sitting there!!
Then, she always puts the blanket back on my head...
...only for me to find out after I wrestle it down...that she has turned back into my DAD!




They are sooooo tricky! It ALWAYS makes me laugh!!!

A half a YEAR already?!?!

Yesterday was my 6 month birthday!!!
My mom can't believe that a half of a year has already gone by since my birth!
Okay, okay...I take it back.
She can't believe that a half of a year has gone by....and I still don't sleep through the night!!!

It's just that I miss her soooooo much in the middle of the night...wink wink! =)

Well, she had been feeling guilty for not posting lately, so she took a bunch of photos of me! So...here they are!

My 6 month photos...

Note: My fingers are NOT in my mouth! Just other things...My mom says I'm getting soooo big! I've already started to rock up on my hands and knees!

No...I'm not sitting up by myself quite yet. I last about 3-5 seconds without help. But with a Boppy around my waist...I do pretty well!


Thanks for taking a look!

Until next time!
Abbey

A Little Update...

Hi Everyone!
How embarassing! You haven't seen or heard from me for over a month! Yeesh!
Well, my mom has been pretty busy...
We've taken lots of pictures though. It just might take us awhile to get you all caught up on my little life! Here's for starters...

I've been going on lots of walks with my parents.
I LOVE the Bjorn.
If I'm cranky...all my parents have to do is wear me...and I'm all good.
In fact, I picked my first flower the other day while we were on a walk. My dad tried to show them to me...and I snatched one before he could blink!
And...then I tried to eat it, like I do EVERYTHING.Over-stimulation anyone???
I've got plenty of it... I love my parents bed. It's probably my second favorite place to be (after the Bjorn).
My mom was trying out some new photography stuff...I think I cooperated rather well!
Okay...that's it for now.
More to come! Promise. =)

I wanna be just like my dad...

Hi everyone!
My dad is teaching me how to do some pretty cool stuff...I just wanted to share with you what I've learned from him!

He likes to sing to me...especially the song that he made up just for me:
"You're the lil' squid. Duh-nuh nuh nuh, na-na-nuh nuh nuh!"
I've started to sing with him, as you can see here:

He also makes lots of faces...I think I'm picking them up rather well, too!

Whadda think??
I'm pretty proud of myself!
