Teeth Galore!


Hello All,
Sorry it has been a while since the last blog. School is keeping me busy along with a cute little chica when I get home. I LOVE how she smiles at me when I walk in the door. They are true about the endorphines that erupt in a mom when she sees her baby smile. I am sending pictures and a funny video I shot this afternoon. I started telling Abby she looked like Bertha Mae, my nanny, and she got tickled so I had to capture that on film.

We are good. The new actions are clapping our hands. Well, actually holding the left hand still and bringing the right hand to it. She started that last Thursday. She is now pulling up on things if she is close enough to them. We were practicing that tonight in the nursery. She has thunder thighs, might as well put them to good use!

Enjoy the pictures and video! Love Abby's Mom :)

another month has passed




Well, Abby is now 7 months old!!! She began with two teeth at 4 months and now has 4, yes 4 teeth coming in on top. She will be eating Nana Burgers any time now! We are good. Sitting back and watching Ike roll in to our area.

School is going pretty well this year. I have some really good kids and they can seem to keep up with the new curriculum. Of course I have an Abby shrine around my desk and they get to watch her grow through all of my pictures.


Abby girl is growing like a weed. She can now get up on her knees but if I tell her to come see me, she flops down on her belly and does an imitation of Michael Phelps. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming... This weekend we started a runny nose due to allergies I think. The apparatus for cleaning the nose is funny because she fights us when it's time to suck out the icky stuff, but she stops to listen when I squeeze it out on a tissue.
She is always grabbing and leaning over to watch everything.


When she gets fussy, her babysitter Christy puts her in the stroller and walks around the house until she dozes off. It works!
