At play

Abi loves to chase and be chased, especially if there is a ball involved.

Fun with Uncle Richie

Abi was happy that Uncle Richie came to visit.  At first, she was wary of him.  She decided he was ok after they played ball.  Uncle Richie, Mommy, Daddy & Abi walked to Harvard Square on Saturday and then had fun at the fancy playground that is just outside the square.

Abi did not use the potty for its intended purpose, but she does enjoy sitting on it.

Today in pictures

Abi enjoyed the great weather today. She walked at least a quarter mile and had fun at the playground. Abi really wanted to go off-road.

Abi had fun playing with a baby stroller at a toy store. She even tried giving it to the cashier to "buy" it.

Abi tried her first french fry. Mommy feels guilty.

Party in Abi’s crib

Last night, from 2-2:30ish AM we heard loud, loud giggling coming from Abi’s room.  She seemed to be having a great time, and we decided to not interrupt.

Abi is very persistent

She waved to people while at the mall on Sunday. She was very happy when they waved back. If they did not wave back, she gave them a dirty look. Sometimes, she even followed the non-wavers, and yelled at them in babyspeak.

In the blink of an eye

Abi has become super-social.  She’ll go up to people at the playground and make friends.  She’ll initiate ball playing.  She’ll get in line with elementary school kids waiting to go inside at the end of recess.  Today, a teacher was sitting on a bench.  Abi moved over stuff on the bench so she could sit next to her, sat down, and started to interact.  Watch out world, Abi is ready to be your friend!

Abi can now say at least 5 words:
