Abbi is working her way through life, looking cuter every day. Not much new to report on her, but she's just pretty much amazing. She's smarter every day.

Last night Abbi and I were upstairs and Max was at the bottom. So I told her to tell him to come and she gestured different from her wave to him and called for him to come up. Amazing. This is a picture of her from church two weeks ago.

My Little Girl

Last night we went to Chick-Fil-A for some free food. After we ate we took Abbi to the playplace for the first time. After a minute of some hesitation she headed over to the "toddler" section and played for a few minutes. Once she was bored with that, she decided to go ahead and climb around in the rest of the area with the other kids. She climbed up a bunch of steps and then came down through a slide all on her own. Jenn and I can't really fit up there, so she was all on her own.

Jenn was incredibly proud of her for being confident and doing it on her own. Abbi of course loved it all, so she then proceeded to go around the loop a few more times. It was really cute to hear her coming down the slide as she was laughing and enjoying herself all the way down.

Little Climber

Abbi's been walking long enough now that Jenn and I don't really remember the crawling stage all that much. She runs around the house like she's owns the place, and really never resorts back to crawling. This picture was taken on May 30 this year, and it honestly feels like ages ago. She was a lot easier to keep track of back then, and certainly it was much easier to keep her out of things. However - I wouldn't trade where she is today for anything.

Contrast

Isn't she cute. I took this last night. We headed out for a few minutes, I needed something from the car, so it was a good opportunity to let Abbi explore outside a bit. She's been working really hard at figuring out how to manage the front steps. She doesn't like to scoot down them because it scratches her up, so she's working on taking careful steps and using the railing to keep herself up. She does really good, but can't quite get down the last step thats extra big. But she is doing fantastically with the others!

Cutie

This is my new favorite picture of Abbi. She looks to freaking cute here. That big beautiful smile on her face. She's looks adorable. I was outside taking pictures of stuff and so she was outside with me, wandering around on the deck checking things out. She was engaged pretty good with the ladder and then I started snapping pictures. I got this one while she was under the ladder, clearly super happy!

New Favorite

Here is a compilation video of Abbi enjoying different aspects of Port Discovery two weeks ago. She definitely had a good time!

Video: Port Discovery

Last Friday we met up with the Sofinowski's so the girls could enjoy some play at Port Discovery, a self proclaimed kids museum downtown. They are running a special on the third Friday of each month where you can get in for $2, an $11 discount.

Abbi had a great time running around playing with anything and everything she could get her hands on. She played really well with the other kids and it was encouraging to see her interact so well with them. This is a picture of Abbi having way to much fun with a fake steering wheel!
