visit from the Grandparents

About a week ago my parents took a break from their busy lives and decided to pay us a visit! Abigail was sooo excited to see them. As soon as she saw them, she wanted Grandpa. Right away, no questions asked. Guess he's her buddy :). We played for a little while, then went out to eat at the Elements. One of my new favorite restaurants - yum!! Afterward my mom and I went shopping, and then we headed home for the rest of the day! It was fun to watch how excited Abigail was to play with her grandparents, and how much they love her!

Abigail is very good at knocking things down - including many towers that my mom built. And thanks, Mom, for taking the pictures! Glad someone is good at remembering to document things!

destruction

It seems like every day Abigail is getting bigger, and acting older. She still doesn't talk a lot, but she tries to communicate. She jabbers a lot, particularly when she gets excited, and she'll answer you when you ask a question. Today she discovered something that had giggles pouring out her mouth, over and over. Destruction. She was playing with her alphabet puzzle pieces, and dropped her water bottle on them. This made the pieces pop up, and she thought it was the funniest thing and kept banging her water bottle on the board. All I could do was laugh with her, and try to capture the moment. Ignore the lack of focusing - I was having camera issues :)

fall in January

Where is the snow??? No white Christmas ... no crazy storm traveling home after Christmas. Doesn't seem like January! Our camera's battery died over Christmas, so we're waiting for pictures from family. We had a great time, minus being sick!

The past couple of days we have enjoyed being able to go outside and play at the park. Abigail is a little hesitant around other kids, but loves playing in the wood chips and the steering wheel. As much as I am loving the weather, I do hope that we get snow soon!
