Can you count the rolls?


Did you imagine it possible that Abby could have even more rolls?  Well, it appears that she does!  I hadn't taken any naked pictures of her lately, so I did tonight.  She'll be mad at me when she's old enough to understand that I posted this online.... :)


And look at that curly hair, how cute.


We had a wonderful time visiting with Aunt Sheryl and Cloe today.  They came through Seattle on their way down to Oregon for vacation and will stay the night tonight.  It was a hot day today but be kept cool with lots of fans, open windows, and porch time.  Abby loved playing the piano for the first time with Aunt Sheryl.  I think we may have a prodigy on our hands.


We made a delicious salmon dinner and played games after Abby went to bed.   Cloe and Sheryl proved to be quick learners when we taught them to play Bananagrams and Bang!  It was fun.  In fact, Brian are still playing Bang! after over an hour!  

Abby is working really hard on crawling.  She's made a few little movements forward - baby proofing, here we come!  She can scoot around quite a bit when she's on her back, especially when on hard wood.  This morning, I turned my attention away for just one moment and found that she had scooted herself (on her back) underneath the pack-n-play!  She was just beaming, having a blast with it! :)  She also does yoga poses like 'down dog' where she straightens her legs, goes on her tippy toes and sticks her but up in the air.  So cute!!  This little girl is ready to move.  In fact, it's nearly impossible to hold her theses days.  She is constantly squirming, pushing off, trying to stand.  Beware - anything is a handle for her including skin, hair, cheeks, dog ears, etc.  What fun.

Best Buds


Abby and Tatum are having so much fun together.  They get excited to see each other each day and gab constantly.  Jerri (our nanny) says they're most talkative in the morning.  They don't fight over toys (yet).  A lot of times, they rub their foreheads together when they're playing.  


Today was a hot one in Seattle - temps in the 90's the past couple days.  Therefore, I found Abby and Tatum dressed only in their diapers when I came home from work.  So cute!  Two rolly polly babies happily playing together.

Abby just learned how to pull Tatum's hair - and Tatum doesn't like it!  :)  Pay back for those days when Tatum would pull Abby's.  They've developed quite a cute friendship, often playing on each other's moods and actions.  They are a ton of fun!
