my camera died and we couldn't find the charger for a week -- so i'm missing a week of pics

August 23, 2009 -- being just a happy happy little baby.

She played herself out -- she fell fast asleep on her playmat and I just let her stay there because I was worried she'd wake up if I moved her.

Helping Daddy play football -- she did pretty good too.

August 24, 2009 -- best $6 we ever spent was on that bouncer at the flea market. She loves it.

Yeah...........she likes hair.

My cute, sweet little angel.

At Walmart with Mommy this afternoon. She sleeps through shopping. I'm not sure how she could possibly be my daughter. (c:

backlog

August 13, 2009 -- trying to grab Daddy's nose. She's very grabby.

She wants the camera. She REALLY wants the camera.

August 15, 2009 -- She is FASCINATED by Daddy's XBox controller.

Trying to help!

I love this picture. First of all, she's standing, even if just for a few seconds, pretty well on her own. Second? She looks like she's trying to rap or something. It's just too cute!

She loves her naked baby time!

Grabbing at Daddy's nose again.

My little Yankees fans.

August 16, 2009 -- playing with Mommy's phone. She loves that, the camera and Daddy's controller.

Playing with her feet. She can't quite get them in her mouth yet, but I'm sure it'll get there soon!

August pictures

August 1, 2009 -- playing with the birdie on her new playmat (Mommy. Loves. Big Lots).

August 2, 2009 -- hugging Mommy's arm with both her hands and, though you can't really tell, both her legs. I didn't get my hand back for like ten minutes.

August 3, 2009 -- playing bouncy with Daddy.

August 4, 3009 -- playing with her spinny toy. She's fascinated by that thing.

August 5, 2009 -- sleeping in the back of the new truck. She is loving the AC in that car.

August 6, 2009 -- wearing her Daddy's Yankees cap before the first time Daddy got to watch his team in HD. Abby loves her Yankees (I think she has a crush on Joba Chamberlain)

Trying to eat Mommy's hand. She does that. A lot.

August 7, 2009 -- having too much fun playing with her awesome playmat to even think about paying attention to Mommy.

Talking (and talking and talking and talking) to Mommy about something or other. That child is a chatter box!

August 8, 2009 -- laughing and all around being a happy girl.

My giggle goose.

August 9, 2009 -- holding her own bottle. She can only hold it for a few seconds at a time, but she's trying already. I'm pretty impressed with her.

August 10, 2009 -- playing with her babysitters across the yard. She loves those girls and is apparently a perfect angel for them. They've "fallen in love" with her.

August 11, 2009 -- again with her baby sitters and mugging for the camera. Such a little ham!

End of July photos

July 24, 2009 - cooing and giggling at the camera while Mommy tries to pack up the old apartment.

July 25, 2009 -- playing with her rattle -- at like five in the morning. Our little Abby is an early bird.

July 26, 2009 -- sleeping in the hotel with her big brother. It was too cute!

July 27, 2009 -- SO happy to have her Daddy back and feeling well! She was gloating like crazy.

July 29, 2009 -- playing on the floor in her new apartment. She thinks she might like it.

July 30, 2009 -- her first experience with rice cereal and "big girl" food!

She knows SOMETHING good must be coming!

Not so sure about this stuff, Momma..... (she likes sweet potatos more than the cereal)

July 31, 2009 -- snuggle bunny sleeping. It's so hard to put her down when she gets snuggly like that!

Getting kisses from her Daddy!

another long week gone by

July 15, 2009 -- my giggly little goose

July 16, 2009 -- reaching for her elephant toy and trying to make it sing -- you press the buttons on its tummy. Sometimes she can do it without help.

July 17, 2009 -- fascinated by something. I'm not sure what.

July 18, 2009 -- petting her big brother. She loves him. He tolerates her.

July 19, 2009 -- playing with her toy -- there's all kinds of spinning parts. It's a great toy.

July 20, 2009 -- sucking her thumb. Definitely her mother's daughter.

July 21, 2009 -- playing at work

July 22, 2009 -- she loved the paper at the doctor's office. It crinkled and made very cool noises.

July 23, 2009 -- napping at work

Playing peek-a-boo behind one of her new Raffes from her friends Reilly and Makayla (Aunt Mare's girls)

At work, during a thunderstorm -- SarahBelle is the dog and she's "guard dogging" (she's terrified of thunder, and was shaking like a leaf there)

Chewing on her elephant's trunk. She actually has a few toys that are elephants, strangely enough. This one sings. She loves it.

For her Nana, her Aunt Anjie and her Aunt Marys (Mare in Georgia and Miss Mary in Key West) -- all my Georgia girls!
