Happy Easter!

C'mon Mom, enough already!:

Of course, the photoshoot wouldn't be complete without these 2 in a photo or two:


Happy Easter!

A Story in Pictures

This is Jakkals:

She is super stubborn and smart.  She will do whatever it takes to get what she wants.

We decided to turn the living room into Abigail's play area since she's more mobile now (she rolls/scoots across the floor.. tries to crawl but not quite there yet!). We also decided to block the dogs out because they leave clumps of fur everywhere and even with lots of vacuuming I'd still like Jelly to have her own space. We barricaded the entry way with the Pack N Play:



First she got her head stuck trying to squeeze through:

I had to rescue her. She was really stuck!  I took Abigail to the supermarket, and when I came back, this is what I found:

She jumped over the back of the couch and got stuck on the other side.  Now that she's figured it out she keeps letting herself in.  I can be sitting right there on the couch, and I'll see this large animal come leaping out from behind me.  What a bad dog!  It's a good thing she is so sweet.

5 Months!

Abigail is 5 months old! Ain't she a cutie?



Here she is playing with her crinkly block, while sitting up in the boppy:


Some other pictures showing off that tummy time isn't so bad, really:



Showing off that she can flip over, even in her RNP sleeper:



Her new thing is standing.  No, she can't stand on her own yet, but she pushes off with her legs and if I hold her up she can stand on my lap.  When she does that I usually make a huge deal about it ("WOW! Look at this big girl standing up!!!") and she loves it!  She grins from ear to ear, totally proud of her accomplishment.  I'll try to get a picture of her standing and add it in later.

Here she is standing in her bouncy seat.  Yes, she's strapped in, but it doesn't seem to hold her down very well:



And here are a couple pictures of her with Jakkals, because it's so cute to watch them hang out together:




She's also extremely interested in big-people food.  Apparently that's a sign that she's ready for solids, but I'm in no rush! I still plan on waiting another month.  It's funny to watch her though, she tries so hard to grab whatever we're eating/drinking.  Soon enough little girl!
