Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

My friend Lisa & I took Abby to her first pumpkin patch today in Ventura! I'm not quite sure what she thought, beyond wondering why there were so many round orange things just laying around in the dirt.....who knows! But she liked touching them!!

Rollin' like a big kid in her new ride!

Aunt Amy bought Abby this fabulous radio flyer wagon for her birthday! We took it out for its maiden voyage tonight for a ride around the neighborhood, and she loved it! It has 2 seats with seat belts, back rests, and 4 cup holders! Its a regular toddler mini-van!! She just sat back and held on tight.

Not the greatest shot, but she wasn't in the mood for photography.....imagine that.

To eat or not to eat......crayons....

Last weekend we went to lunch at El Torito with Grandma Donna, Aunt Sarah, and Ricky. She wore her kids hat, ordered off the kids menu, and even tasted the crayons....first time seeing those!

Attempting to draw.....she made marks!!! I think she knows the general idea!
Hmmm.....eating or smoking the crayon.....neither work!!!! But its cute!
Ahhhhh.....Silly Abigail!!

Just too cute not to share

New "Laugh & Learn House"

I got this for Abby with the birthday gift cards she received, and she LOVES it! My girlfriend had one she has played with, so I knew she liked it. It is 100% interactive, so everything on it makes sounds and teaches her the cause and effect of doing things, like open/close the door, ringing the doorbell, turning on the light switch, changing the numbers on the address, etc, etc. She spends so much time crawling in/out of it all day!

Peeking out the door to watch Elmo on TV!
Such a big girl!!
