Peaceful Abby

Big girl!

I haven't posted too many pictures for the past week or so because we've all been sick. Abby is almost recovered - just in time for her half-birthday tomorrow. Happy 6 months!

Abby's First Day at Day Care

We held out as long as we could, through Mommy Day Care, Daddy Day Care and Gramma Day Care, but this morning the Abster hit the real world. She's now a commuter.

Chilling with daddy while he makes his and mommy's breakfast.



All strapped in and ready to go.


We're here!

Meet and greet with her new teachers.

No (daddy) hands!

We are all on a trip to Seattle for Erika's conference. Abby enjoying dinner out while practicing standing.

Cute pictures of Abby

We emptied off our camera this weekend and found some pretty cute pictures to post:

 5 month old Abby.

Betty and Fred visit

Erika's aunt and uncle, Betty and Fred, took the train (!) out from Missouri to see us in Tucson.  Here are a couple of shots from their trip.  We took the opportunity to take our first family self-shot.

Betty and Fred appreciate the Saguaros.

Abby's new toy

This week Abby has discovered banging things on the counter. Grandma bought her some stacking toys at Ikea yesterday - and they are light enough to make a loud noise, without seriously injuring her when she hits herself in the head. :)
