1st Carousel Ride!!

Arlene & Alan came to visit today, so we went down to the Ventura Harbour and had lunch at a nice seafood place! Abby got to enjoy some food too! Then we walked around and found a carousel to ride on, so she got her first "horsey" carousel ride! It went up & down too! She loved it, flailing her arms as usual in excitement.

Sleepy time

She finally fell asleep at the airport....20 minutes before we had to board of course! Cute nonetheless!!


AZ Trip! Lots of fun!

Here's the family photo!! We spent this day at Uncle Kenney's pool for nearly 2 hours and Abby was in the water the whole time! Everyone took turns pushing her around in her floaty!
Abby & Flash.....he loves her!
Abby & Justin....she loved tugging on his facial hair! Not sure how much he loved it LOL!

Just a cutie! Doing her arm dance of excitement.

More climbing at the airport....

We were on our way to Arizona and Abby just had to try climbing at LAX. She loved to stand there (with mommy close by to catch her) and watch the "little" cars run around outside!


Climbing


We visited with Will & Tracey last week, and she is all about climbing on everything these days! So of course she headed right for their entertainment unit! She's really good at getting to her knees, and sometimes her feet!

Backyard pool fun!

The new pool!
Big smiles!
Cutest butt ever!!!
Well, Grandma Donna bought Abby a pool for the backyard and it was a hit (once I got the monster blown up of course!!!). I put some warm water in it (since it hasn't peaked past 75 degrees here yet this summer) and she was in water heaven! She loved being able to crawl in it and chase after floaty toys. Roxy was jealous.....even though she hates baths! Abby got a kick out of her licking her the whole time.

Squeezing Daddy


Here she is giving her "daddy doll" some love and kisses (then she went on to use "him" to bang on her squeaky toy...daddy is so versatile!)

Snacking


Eating yummy treats out of her bowl! She's all about picking things up with those little fingers these days. And now she's realized that if she holds the bowl, all the treats come falling towards her mouth.....and then on the floor for Roxy to eat!

Crazy splashing caught on tape

Splashing

She loves to splash herself. I like to call it "self-cleaning"!

My Cutie Patootie!


Munching on her crackers! She's starting to fill out that highchair.

Diapers!!!


Someone found my basket of diapers! Guess I'm going to have to move them up higher!! She was so proud of her diaper display!

Silly Abby.....book shelves aren't for babies!!

She is so funny. She keeps getting herself stuck on the shelf.


Following me around the house!

She's figured out how to roam from room to room!
The house is an adventure now!
Ahhh....my two cute butts!!! Now Roxy follows Abby! The roles are changing!!

We love you daddy!!

This one's for you babe! You're "big" little girl misses you! Me too!

Visitors today!

The great-grandparents came to visit today.....we took a stroll over to the "Seabee Days" carnival that was being held on base and walked around! Then we bbq'd dinner! Thanks for the visit!




On the move....table in sight!

She loves trying to get her hands onto the bottom shelf of this table! Of course I've already removed the things that used to be on the shelf, but she finds it amusing nonetheless!

Well, and sometimes we get stuck going backwards under the table....mommy to the rescue! But just this evening she started making serious movements forward one knee at a time....I think my moments of rest are over!

Trying to Crawl....almost there

Here are some great crawl-attempts she's been making in the last few days! Its so amazing to watch her little brain work, and correspond with her little chubby thighs to get her body to go, go, go!! (I had to throw in the cute naked one!!)

Morning Toy Time

She loves those farm animals and the tractor! Playing in her pj's (Abby Cadabby pj's of course)

Mike, Allison, Abby and Maddy Smith

Living life in beautiful........well, everywhere......US NAVY!!!
