Abi clapped today

For the first time!

Containers

Abi has mastered the skill of putting things into containers and taking them out.  She especially enjoys putting Daddy’s “toy” into her wagon.

Abi’s Pony in the Box

Daddy loved his jack-in-the-box when he was young, and so we bought Abi a pony-in-the-box.  It looked cute on the Amazon website.  Unfortunately, Abi got very, very scared when the pony first came out.  So the toy is now hidden.  We will try to reintroduce it when she is a little older.

Abi’s second swim class

Daddy reports that Abi had a great swim class.  She really enjoys sliding into the water from a sitting position (Daddy catches her each time).

Today’s curriculum involved blowing bubbles and kicking.  Abi did not like doing either of those.  (She shook her head “no” to indicate that she was not willing to blow bubbles.)  Unfortunately for Abi, she is either the youngest or one of the youngest babies in class, so she is behind the other kids who are willing to kick and blow bubbles.

Playtime – Abi the Strong Baby

Mommy & Abi went to a play group on Thursday.  Abi picked up a heavy table toy (probably 3-4 pounds) and swung it around her head and shoulder continuously.  Pretty incredible given that she just weighs 18lbs.  Here are some pictures of her swinging a lighter ball around.
