She wasn't really stuck, but its kinda funny to think she might have been. Somehow she twisted herself around the other day when Jenn stepped away and BAM, she had put her legs through the poles. She loves to grab onto the sides while we change her in there to. Always an adventure!

Stuck

Yesterday Abbi took a nap with us in the afternoon and Jenn commented to me afterwards that she thinks its might have been the longest nap Abbi has had since Jenn went back to work. These days Abbi takes short little cat naps for 15-30 minutes, usually short ones and then wakes up happy and ready to be engaged again. But yesterday like us she was beat and took a nice long nap. Looked kinda like this picture.

Sleepy

I took this late last week of Jenn and Abbi taking a nap together up in the office. Jenn and I have been so exhausted pretty much constantly for the last 2/3 weeks. She's still struggling to adjust to working and then coming home to Abbi. The burden of grading papers and other miscellaneous work tasks needing to be done at home just seems to pile up and takes Jenn away from Abbi. So I know moments like this, where she can just sit and enjoy her daughter, and very precious to her.

Snooz'n

Last weekend we gave Abbi her first "toy". Its not so much a toy as a "blanket buddy" as its called. Its part blanket material/thickness part toy. She loves it. She puts it in her mouth and slobbers all over it and smiles while she's doing it. We keep checking her gums for teeth because this baby is drooling like crazy and can't keep her hands out of her mouth. Its nuts!

Kitty

When I was showing Jenn the pictures that I was posting online she commented that this was Abbi's GQ pose. Completely random moment in time caught as if it were perfectly posed.

Strike a Pose

While i was getting the backgrounds set up to take Abbi's Halloween pictures the other day, we sat her in the bumbo chair and Jenn talked to her. As you can see here, Abbi was having quite a good time talking with her mom and was smiling while doing it!

In other Abbi news, a recent "issue" for the Harrah family is that we've needed to get flu shots but haven't been able to. The worthless doctors office kept telling Jenn to call back the next day or later that afternoon. After about 2 weeks of this, Jenn lucked out and was able to get a flu shot last Friday given out by the county department of health.

So that left me still vulnerable. Today on a quick trip to Target to try and get some Redskins pumpkin patterns on clearance (no luck btw), I saw a sign for flu shots. I was able to get one thankfully and now I don't have to worry about Abbi catching the flu from Jenn or I. Since Abbi is under 6 months we had to get vaccinated instead of her, in case you were wondering.

Smilng at Mommy

For Halloween we dressed Abbi us as a pea pod. We got the costume from Tina who graciously let us borrow it. She bought it last year, even though Julianna never wore it! Abbi didn't seem to mind being in the costume, but she appeared to loath putting it on!
