Summer Fun

AB and I have been having a great time. AB is at such a fun age! She enjoys doing so many things. Even trips to Giant Eagle get her so excited! We now have friends there who come up and say hi to her. One lady in particular loves when Annabelle comes into the store. She knows Annabelle's name and just eats up her little grins. We have been swimming in her baby pool, going for rides in the stroller and even going for rides in her big stroller while I get some much needed exercise by pushing her on my Rollerblades. We are looking forward to being at the lake this July (a lot) going on boat rides and swimming in her baby pool. I look forward to those things but then again I don't want them to come too fast...I want this summer to be slow and easy. Each day is more fun than the last. I love being a mommy. Just some little updates for those who are interested in this stuff. AB is sleeping through the night! It took just a tad bit of training (more for me than her.) Now, she does it with ease. Last night in fact, she slept for 11 hours!!!! AB is doing other big girl things like eating solids. She eat fruit for breakfast, sweet potatoes (her fave) for lunch and then some other veggie like green beans, peas or carrots for dinner. When we go to the doctor in July for her six month check up we're hoping to get to try some meats and yogurts. She does such a great job in her high chair and really loves her solid foods. It was such an easy transition for her. It made weaning her from nursing so much easier! She still gets most of her nutrition through her bottles which she has with her meals. AB has not had to go to the doctor for anything other than wellness checks (and shots of course.) We feel so very fortunate to have such and healthy, happy baby. Hope you all are enjoying summer as much as we are.

Daddy's Big Day

Daddy's first Father's Day was a lot of fun. AB Marie made him his favorite for breakfast in bed...Pretty easy for Mommy (Coco Pebbles are easy to pour!) After he finished his yummy breakfast he got to open his cards. AB chose a card at the store that plays a song. She loves it! We almost wore out the battery before Daddy got to open it. When he did she look over at him and gave him the biggest smile! Apparently AB really likes the song "Macho, Macho Man." After Daddy thanked Annabelle for his gift we spent the day relaxing. We played outside in the grass and went for a stroll. It was a very fun, relaxing day.

Summer...At Last!

Mommy has been waiting for this day...well since she had to go back to work. It is summer at last! AB Marie just turned five months old on June 4th. Time has FLOWN by. I have posted a new video of AB's newest trick. There is also a new slide show at the top of the page.
ENJOY and happy summer!!!
