Playtime

 Abigail's new favorite playtime activity...pulling all the toys out of the basket and sometimes putting them back in!

 Looking through the table!

 Playing with Nanny and Mattie!

 Chewing on a teething biscuit...what a mess!

 Out for a walk with the doggies!

 Those silly dogs!

Holding her own bottle...such a big girl!

Happenings

Abigail started saying her first word earlier this month..."uh oh"!  It's so fun to listen to, but gets old when she drops stuff on purpose just so she can say uh oh!  She also claps her hands!  She still hasn't made any moves to crawl, but gets around very well by rolling and kinda scooting on her belly.  She is starting to like eating chunks of food instead of the pureed baby food.  She can feed herself that way!  She is also quite proficient at holding her own bottle!  And she still continues to love the water, whether at the pool or in the tub!  Can't wait to get her to the Owyhee Lake this summer!

Eats!

 This is a little mesh bag that I put a sweet potato frozen cube in.  It's supposed to help with teething.  I think she liked it, it was just a little cold!

Fresh cooked sweet potato chunks!
