Ten Months Old

Abby partied all day yesterday, literally, to celebrate being 10 months old. First she went to church, then to a baby shower, then she had friends over to play Nintendo. And she did all of this with no naps. Not a good plan on her mom or dad's part. But since she is pretty darn cute and generally happy she pulled it off without too much crying or crabbiness.

Abby loves her newest hat, which came from her future Aunt Courtnie's mom and dad. It was very soft and warm. She's been wearing it a lot with her new coat and doesn't care if you don't think red and pink are a good match.

Today is Abby and Mom do laundry day - and boy do we have an abundance to wash again. We also have a ton of dishes to do after the partying yesterday. I can't wait until Abby is big enough to be a helper instead of a distraction or a pulling the clothes back out of the basket non-helper. At least she is the cutest kid on the block while she is preventing me from getting things done.

Abby typed the first part.

Play Date!

Abby had her first play date yesterday with a little person her own size. She had a great time playing with A.J. Thankfully we had no hitting and no crying, except for whimpering when Abby needed to take her nap. They were so cute playing together. A.J. and I had fun after Abby went to sleep too. She is to cuddle and like twisting my hair, but not pulling it. But, I wouldn't trade any baby for my Abby.

Today is Abby's 1/2 birthday! She is officially 6 months old. We are hoping to have a fun dinner with her Dad tonight to celebrate. Abby's poor Dad didn't get home until 7 o'clock last night and boy was he tired after a long day of work, so he and Abby have a lot of playing to catch up on tonight.

We have to go to the store today to pick some things up, so I bet she will try to sneak in a half birthday cupcake or two. We even made her a half birthday crown last night out of our old Burger King crown. She is going to be super cute wearing it.
