Week 44

This weeks fabric came from Bubby.  She got it to represent the lake probably, but Momma picked it for this week because it represented summer and we did lots of summer activities on Father's Day.  We went for a swim for the first time in our pool, and I went on my first bike ride!!

My picture is just the teenyist bit blurry because I just don't sit still these days!  Momma used to be able to snap a few hundred pictures and choose the best, but not anymore.  Now she needs Daddy to distract me and we maybe get about 50 in.  She's gonna have to start letting me sit up here soon!  This laying down is for the birds!

Outtakes:

"Momma...no more...please!"

Mom was so sad that this one was blurry and wrinkled.  It was by far my best shot of the day.

Moving and a-shaking!

Week 43

Guess where I'm going tomorrow.  New York city!!  I'm going to visit two of my favorite people.  Aunt Erin and Lindsay!!  Mommy seems a little stressed about the whole flying thing but Daddy keeps telling me that she's always like that.  I don't know why though, I love flying.  It's my favorite when Daddy tosses me up in the air and catches me.

Outtakes:

I stayed still long enough for Momma to get two good pictures of me this week :O)

"Wha???  Don't you see I need a new diaper?"

Week 42

Momma says I'm really starting to show my personality these days.  I know when I'm doing something funny and when I get someone to laugh I just keep doing it.  I learned how to do Peak-a-Boo the other day when I hold the blanket myself and hide behind it.  I wait for you to ask "Where's Abby" and I start giggling before I even take the blanket down.  I gibber jabber all day long and have tons and tons of stories to tell.

Outtakes:

I've been trying out some new smiles these days.  That and I wasn't feeling very well when Momma took these pictures.  My tummy hurted so I wasn't really up to being my usual smiley self.

"Cha-cha-cha!" (with finger tambourines!)

Week 41

Isn't this week's fabric pretty?  It came from Momma's friend Jennifer.  I really like it because there is a big ol' fox right there in the corner.  Daddy's business is named Fox (or something like that), so I already know all about him. 

Guess what else!  My cousin's birthday is this weekend.  We are going to go and see her and eat cake.  I don't know what cake is really, I've never had sweets.  But, I think there's a good chance that Momma might let me have just a little bit of hers.

Outtakes:

We had a pretty busy weekend so we didn't take too many outtakes.  Just this one, that Momma almost picked to be my picture this week.  Next week though, we will be back with more funny outtakes, so come on back!

Week 40

Happy Memorial Day!  I know it's a little early but it'll be gone before I come back next week so Mommy picked this fabric.  She's pretty sure that it came from Bubby but she tossed the little label.  Silly Momma!  We are going to Koontz Lake this weekend and I can't wait.  I hope it's warm enough so I can show off my swimming skills but Momma says it's probably not going to be warm enough.  Maybe for a baby pool on the pier though!!  I'll tell you all about it next week.

Outtakes:

You'd think I was a chunky lady from this picture.  I mean, look at my rolls.  But, I just went to the doctor and I only weigh 17.5 lbs.  I'm only in the 35% for height and weight.

"Yes!"

"Whistle while you work...."

Week 39

 Guess what?!!  I'll be NINE month's old this week.  Can you believe it??  Momma can't.  I think she spent all day on Mother's Day trying to squish me back into a teeny tiny baby.  Silly Momma, doesn't she know anything?  Mom picked this picture because blowing raspberries is my new favorite thing.  I used to just do it with my lips, but just this week I figured out that I could do it with my tongue too and it's way more fun.  My favorite is when someone does it back to me.  That makes me laugh.  Those big people, they are so funny.  And gullible too!!  I can't make them do whatever I want.

Outtakes:

Momma must be crazy to think I'll sit still long enough for these little photo sessions anymore.  I've got places to be, and people to see.

"What now Momma?  Can't you see I need to go get my toys over there?"

Week 38

Do you like my fabric for this week?  It came from our friend Natalie.  She wears red lipstick like these hearts all the time.  It's her signature color so Mommy and Grandma call it "Rosenstiel Red"!!  Mommy was sad she forgot about this fabric when it was Valentines Day but it's ok.  Everyone needs a little love in their life all year round!  Daddy is in Kansas City this week so it's just the girls at home.  Mommy and Daddy and I had the flu last week but this week is better so I think we are going to go for some walks outside in the big girl stroller.  Oh, and we are going to see Grandma tomorrow for dinner.  Grandpa is away too.  He's turkey hunting so it's really a girls week around here.  Good timing though!  It's Mother's Day on Sunday.  Daddy said that we've got something nice planned for Mommy.
Man, I'm feeling pretty random today!  HA.

Outtakes:

"Mommy are we done yet?  I wanna roll over and crawl!"

When Mommy does Yoga they call this pose "happy baby".  Mommy says that I do it way better than she does though :O)
