Abbi's 2nd Swimming Adventure!

So, since we didn't get pictures of our first swimming adventure (Thanks Dad!), we decided to go back for a second outing at our old stomping grounds, in Saratoga Springs. Our friends, The Royces, still live there, and are nice enough to let us come out and spend a lazy Sunday at the pool. It is a really nice pool, heated by the hot springs that Saratoga Springs is known for, but it was a little hot for a 98 degree day. It is funny, we have used the pool more now than when we lived in the neighborhood! Thanks for the picture opportunities Tyler and Amy!

Zoo to the Ziggidy!

Thanks to our fabulous friends, Jene' and Tre', we had a wonderful outing to the zoo, and not to mention Abbi's first visit!! We pulled the day off, without any screaming babies, and we really had a lot of fun! I think our favorite part of the day was, besides eating naughty, the bird show! The birds are very well trained, and swoop inches from your head! The babies liked looking at them so close! Abbi had her very first carousel ride, isn't she cute? Thank you Jene' and Tre'! We had the best time!

Not so Flabby, Abbi!

So, Monday was Abbi's 6 month check up. She is coming in at a whopping 13 lbs. 5 oz., I promise, I am feeding her. We, hopefully, just had a temporary dry spell in the nursing department. Abbi and I are working on that. We will take her in again in about a week to get her weight checked again. She is in the 10% for weight, and 25% for height. Hopefully we can bump that up a little! Craig and I love baby chub! But we love Abbi, whatever size she is.

So, this blog is for Kriste and Jami. Apparantly, I don't blog enough. So girls, here you go. This blog is just to say, I blogged today, Monday, August 18,2008. Don't you just love my Abbi? I can't stand how cute she is. These days, she is rolling port side. She flips back and forth from front to back, but always towards her left arm. I guess that's good, because she can't get very far that way. I really need to get a safety gate for the stairs before she rolls over there. She isn't sitting up yet, but we are working on that. She is kind of a mommy's girl these days. She would rather sit in her bouncy seat and watch mommy do her hair and make up than hang out with daddy. Sorry Craig, your day will come. I know she will probably hate me in about 12 years, so be patient.

Raspberry Days, Bear Lake 2008

"G.G." and Grandpa John at the Cabin. Thank you for letting us come up and stay with you!

We had a nice vacation at the Cabin at Bear Lake. It was kind of a bizarre weekend, with the massive rain storms, and the plane crash on the beach, but we still had fun. It was Abbi's first Raspberry Days celebration, and although she was a little bit cranky all weekend (that is the reason we are lacking in photos), we loved having her there with us. It is always fun to get together with our family and our friends, Tyler, Amy, and their kids Kelcey and Haylie, Jeff, Misty, and their kids Hayden and Taylor. Thanks for the fun weekend everyone!

Sweet Potay-tah

Abbi Loves sweet potatoes,



















But sweet potatoes don't love Abbi's clothes!

I now know to just strip her down to the diaper before feeding. These are the lessons of motherhood!
