We're Back - For Now

We made it back from Grandma Lorraine and Grandpa Harley's house and our visit to Ann Arbor. We had a great time catching up with all our family and friends. We also got to do some shopping, which is Abigail's favorite activity. She really enjoys looking at all the lights, racks, and other fancy, shiny, new things. And since we had shopping on our agenda, Abby got to pick out some new things for this winter and for next summer. We got everything that was on our list, so it was mission accomplished all around.

Abby really had a good time at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We got to play with Grandma and Grandpa and also Grandpa Scott. Grandma Lorraine taught Abby how to roll from her back to her stomach, so now Abby can roll each way. It was a great time.

We also got to see all our old Ann Arbor friends and meet 4 new friends. Abby got to hang out with baby Paige at the pool (and her big sister Ava and also Lachan and Jade). She also met Sarah, Luke, and Tatum. It was really nice to get to see so many new babies! Now Abby and I are getting things back in order since we brought lots and lots of bags in that hadn't been here before. Have a happy Monday!

For Uncle Nate

An entire roll for Uncle Nate. We just got our Veggie Tales "Lord of the Beans" movie in the mail - I think it's time for a family movie night :-)

Oh... and this was filmed with the camera sitting on the floor, so if it isn't the best cinematography, sorry... I can't be an expert at everything.

A Half Roll Left For Uncle Nate

Uncle Nate said he wanted proof of rolling, but Abby said he was only big enough to have half a roll. Maybe next time he can have a whole one.

Holy Roller

We have had 4 successful attempts by Abby at rolling over today - her first time accomplishing this monumental task. She rolled over this morning and I thought it must have been a fluke or the way I laid her on her belly to play, so I flipped her back onto her belly and she rolled over again (the other way this time). Being a skeptic, I made her do it a third time just to be sure. And she is a roller.

Steve saw her do the new trick while he was home for lunch. Unfortunately Abby's been camera shy when it comes to rolling, so we having been able to film this new feat - but we will be working on that tonight. Right now she is napping to get her strength up for this evening's attempt. She is still in the novice rolling category - we have to put her arms in the right spot for her and she hasn't quite figured out what she is doing to cause the rolling, but she is sure catching on quickly.
