Abi's been tagged

Abi was tagged by Bronco--at least I think it was our Abi. Here are 8 things you may not know or are just to fun to leave out.

1. Abi has started to play shy lately--which she totally isn't and I really think she is just playing. She drops her head down and smiles. It's so darn stinking cute.

2. Abigail will reply to Abi, Abigail, and Geunter. (Yes, that last name has stuck).

3. She is starting to take 2+ hour naps on occassion and I usually end up waking her up because I miss her too much.

4. Her favorite toys are still her feet, socks, & shoes, and whatever is in Molly's hand.

5. Abi always has a crowd of boys around her at church. Sunday there were 4 during sacrament. They were all talking and smiling at her.

6. Abi can now wave bye-bye when she is in the mood.

7. Abi can now say "Hi" and it's legit. She scared our 5 year old neighbor, Jenna, as she was riding her bike and I was so worried she was going to fall over. She often says hi to people walking by as we sit on the front porch.

8. She sometimes gets freaked out by really loud noises like Daddy's sneezes, packing tape dispensers, and the blender.

Abi's First Kiss and Tongue Action

Abi's friends Molly & Shane came over to play last week. Molly is a month older and Shane is 2 years older. They were so great and so well behaved. Abigail played more with Shane than she did with Molly. Shane was playing with Abi at one point and bonked her in the head lightly and she started to fuss. Allyson (their mom) asked him to say sorry and so he gave her a kiss on the nose. He went in so slowly and i watched Abi's face as she smiled and then looked worried and then smiled again as if to say "I like this, wait...do I? Oh yes, that's nice."
Abi got her 6th tooth last week. Hence the picture of her "tongue action" as she tested out the new tooth.
A few days ago I put Abi in a long sleeved shirt that was too big for her. I put her in her high chair and put some food on the tray. She gave me the weirdest look and I couldn't figure out why. She then slowly dropped her head to the tray with her mouth open. I then realized that her hands were stuck in the sleeve of the shirt. I took her hands out and she immediately got to work on her food. She is such a good eater!!! We are soooo blessed. The last few days she has gotten so much better at crawling with her tummy up--and she can get to a sitting position from a laying position on her own.
And to think...some of you read this post only for the title.

Abi's Play Talk

This is how Abigail talks to her toys. Aren't you glad you're not one of them? You may want to turn your sound down a little...

Abi Loves Puppets

So we got Abi this Monkey Puppet on our trip and she loved it! Watch the video and find out.

Our First Family Vacation

We got back yesterday from our first family vacation (yes I did survive my killer cold). We went to Park City for 3 nights and stayed at the Westgate. It was wonderful--(except for the rock hard bed which my body is still recovering from.) Abi got to go swimming for the first time and she LOVED it. She's a water bug just like her mommy. We went swimming everyday. I loved it too because I just got a new bathing suit that I feel modest and attractive in all at the same time. Check out http://www.shadeclothing.com/ to see their suits--they are a bit more expensive but they are worth the investment. They have a store in the University Mall too.


Yeah! I actually had a good enough hair day to wear my hair down for once. It's been months since I have done it. I think our water softener relaxes my hair too much and all of my curls go away. I have no idea how to fix it though. Here is Abi and I getting ready to go to the zoo.
We gave Abi a piece of toast when we got to the zoo and she loved it! She just munched on it until she was covered in a nasty bread filled slime. Yum!
Abi and Daddy watched the gorrillas for a while. She loved the zoo. A giraffe kept staring at her and she stared back. She also got to see a tiny little monkey (about the size of your hand) within inches of the glass. It got right up to where her face was and they just looked at each other. We were there for 3 hours and she was so wonderful the whole time. If you haven't been to the zoo for a while, I'd highly recommend it.
While I was in the shower, Daddy gave Abi some toast in bed. I love her expression in the picture below, "What do you want? I'm eating my toast."
