Fun at the playground

Abi loves the tire swing

Abi treads not-so-lightly and carries a big stick

Fun with Grandma & Grandpa

The girl has soccer skills!  (And so does Grandma).

Abi plays with Daddy

Abi loves to read

This should not be a surprise to anyone. She knows where to find Curious George in our local bookstore.  I think she likes any story that includes a monkey.

"I'm not leaving the bookstore - - you can't make me."

Abi the monkey

She loves playgrounds and playing with water.

And yes, she is wearing a diaper.

Fun with Grandma

Abi recently went to visit Grandma & Grandpa.  It was under difficult circumstances, but Abi still enjoyed her time with them.  She especially had fun running to Grandma to give her a hug.

Someone has to do it

Abi is not beyond doing all necessary work to raise her doll.  Here, she is cleaning the doll’s poop.  Abi keeps her doll’s diaper area nice and clean.  She also feeds her by putting blueberries to her mouth, and praising her for eating them.  Abi’s doll feels very nurtured.

More playground time

Abi loves to push her stroller and to swing.

Mommy’s favorite picture

It took months to convince her to wear her helmet – – but we did it!

Nature time

On Wednesday, the little hungry caterpillar ate:

• 5 bananas
• 3 bowls of cereal
• 1 cantalope
• 1 and 1/2 pints of blueberries
• strawberries
• some sandwiches
• several sippy cups of milk
• some bagel
• and probably other things that I am not quite remembering now
