AH, Growing UP

Well, it's been 5 months since our Abby was born, and I know that's a long time to wait on a post, but there's been lots and lots going on!

Abby has completed the following tasks:

July 1, 2005 - Rolled over, back to front AND front to back
July 14, 2005 - Ate her first meal with a spoon - mmmmm, oatmeal!
July 14, 2005 - Blew her first, second, and 100th raspberry - she likes em!
July 15, 2005 - Rolled over going the other way

And so many more things. Abby is growing day by day. She is currently 15 lbs., and 24 1/4 inches long. She has attended her first birthday party, for her friend Alex's first birthday, and has another next weekend for her friend Liam's first. She is such a party girl!

Abby's Uncle Jon Mark came to visit her over the July 4th holiday. She really enjoyed hanging out with him. She had her first visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art - and she LOVED looking at those paintings (I guess the colors caught her attention). Uncle Jon carried her through some of the museum, because her coach just wasn't where she wanted to be. Of course, she pooped while we were there, but that's ok!

Abby especially loved it when Uncle Jon made duck noises with his mouth, and he agrees with us that our dog, Mick, is Abby's favorite "person" in the whole world. I bet her first word is Mick!

Abby also had her first trip to the New Jersey Shore, and to Wildwood's boardwalk while her Uncle Jon was here. She really enjoyed it, except for the ride home. Sometimes she gets tired of just sitting around - she's ready to get up and go!

Sadly, Uncle Jon had to return home to Oklahoma, and Abby sure does miss him. She also misses her Nana and Grandpa, but I know they'll be here to visit soon! Abby's going to be spending her first Thanksgiving with her family in Oklahoma. I know she'll love Great-Grandma's mashed potatoes. Should be an interesting sight.

Well, that is my latest update. Hope you enjoyed learning about Abby's recent goings-on.
