Busy July...

Thought we'd start with a sweet photo of Abby taking a bath in the sink. She decided that she wanted to slide down and submerge her whole body in the warm water... Looks peaceful, doesn't she?

What have we been up to since the last post? Well- Abby has had fun playing with friends, swimming, hanging with mommy and Cosette during the day, playing with that silly daddy, and logging some QT with grandma. Here are some pics of her playing with her friends Emma and Chloe Dickerson. They call her Baby Abby (how cute!).




Abby crawls all over the place and she gets into everything. She especially likes wires and remote controls. She is also partial to books -the paper kind- and newspapers/magazines. Apparently magazines taste good. Abby does like her toys and other things she is allowed to play with. She is very good at pulling herself up into her toy basket and pulling out what she wants.



There is lots of talking going on. Mostly, Abby says, "da-da-da-da," and she also says "maaaa," "geeee," "gu-ga-ge-ga-ga," and various other musings. Our girl is brave. She likes to flip upside down, and dive on the floor toward toys or Cosette. She has learned that she can crawl all over the house now. So, she crawls down the hallway to get to daddy or mommy. Last night, she crawled to the bathroom door, and basically knocked while mommy was in the shower. Here is a shot of her getting away while her diaper was being changed.



We have decided that Cosette is the best dog that ever existed. She lets Abby play with her feet, pull on her fur and her ears, and crawl up on her bed with her. Cosy is incredibly patient with Abby. We are very fortunate. Now, like a normal dog, she did not really appreciate it when Abby knocked her bowl over to try and grab some of her food. She was gentle, though concerned about her food- the one thing that she can really claim as exclusively hers.
