the bow

I have the hardest time these days getting Abby to keep her hair bows on. It makes me so sad because she looks soooo cute in a bow. But, she just HATES to wear them anymore. Here's a picture from a week a go and our hair bow battle.

"Momma, I'm taking this off!"

"But Momma, I HAAAAATE it!"

Look close and you can see she even broke out the tears on me.


How sad is this face? I almost gave in at this point....

but instead, I gave her the remote and she forgot all about the bow.

Where is Abby?!!!

How do I lose my child in my own house? I just left the room literally for 10 seconds and I come back and she is no where to be found. I panicked for a moment, but then heard her in kitchen.

She had crawled underneath the kitchen table between the legs of the chairs. Whew...but how in the world was I going to get her out?! When I would say "come here Abby" she would just sit and laugh.

She definitely keeps me on my toes!

Here's a little video as I captured her and we headed to change her diaper. I thought I was going to get a video of her saying "tickle-tickle-tickle-tickle" but as you can see, she thought screaming was better.

Garage Sale Elmo

Two Saturdays ago we had a family day doing fun "family" things. We got up, walked to Einstein's, had breakfast, walked through our neighborhood, went home, went to the pool, grilled out.....it was fabulous. I'm sure we also watched golf and baseball here and there, but I don't really remember that part.

When were walking through our neighborhood we found this Garage Sale. The find of the day was this Elmo for only $1. I thought it would be a "Tickle Me Elmo" but as I put batteries in it, I soon learned otherwise.

Introducing the new member of the Wagnon family,

Hokey Pokey Elmo.

Yummmm Yogurt!!

Abby's first attempt at eating Yobaby Yogurt. She would dive into the spoon for the next bite. :) She loved it.

Dinner with Claudia

I've so missed my friend Claudia. She moved away to Brazil right before Abby was born. She was in town for our friend Britt's wedding and we got together one night for dinner.

I mean...this little boy is just precious. I think he speaks like 4 different languages, but Abby didn't care. She was talking to him in her own special way....the scream.

Here she goes again. I can hear the ringing in my ears as I look at this picture.

Here he was loving his Tex-Mex fajitas.

Abby preferred to eat her lid.

He would get up and run and run. He was loving hiding from Claudia too.

Two new friends.

We had to take the group shot in front of the gum ball machine because that was where Nicholas kept running off to. :)

Miss you Claudia - Thanks for spending the evening with Abby and me.

Watching Mickey

Uhhh...Abby. You're a little close.

This girl loves Mickey Mouse. Look how tall she's getting.

She'll crawl away for a second, then quickly realize that Mickey is still on.

She's crawling all over the place and pulling up on everything. Here's just a quick video of her crawling.

Lunch with Caleb and Niki

We had lunch a few weeks ago with Niki and Caleb. This little piece of handsome was flirting with my Abby the whole time. AND, she couldn't keep her eyes off of him either!

This is the face of a boy waiting to eat! :)

Our conversation went like this......"Abigirl, don't stare sweetheart."......

"I'm not Momma, my eyes are closed."


Group shot.
Look at Abby's face. She can NOT believe I'm holding another baby!

Caleb and his Momma

Abby is telling Caleb how she eats her puffs with only two fingers. Caleb is like "Why? It's more fun to eat as many as you can at once with your whole hand."

I think Niki had a puff in her hand here. Abby wants it and Caleb is trying to crawl out of the chair to get it for himself.

And this is the face of a little boy who ran out of puffs to eat. :(

Niki and Caleb, we love you guys so much. We MUST have lunch again soon!
