Back Home, A Catastrophe!

I don't know how it happened, but Abby caught a glimpse of the back of her head in a mirror. She was horrified to learn of her bald spot. It took hours of discussion to convince her she did not get her Dad's hair genes.








To help cheer her up, we gave her a bath and a fresh round of milk. One important thing to note for the kids out there. Abby is not "throwing a sign" as they say in the urban vernacular. She is merely expressing her joy with the number "3". Sometimes when she's feeling blue, I'll sing a little song about three bumble bees and she perks right up.

Think about it...three is a fantastic number. Three blind mice. Three little pigs. Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Once, Twice, Three Times a Lady.

Her fascination with the Bath Tub "3" marked the end of the Bath Tub "G" era (not shown). I had many more jokes I could use with G: "Gee, this water feels warm", "Gee, my toes sure were dirty", "Gee, my Dad is losing his hair". Gee, it doesn't get old.

With "3", all I got so far is, "3...that's how many toes Dad lost".

Anyhoot, she seems to be a pretty happy baby. She's kinda snotty this week. Looks like the fun times are starting (illnesses passing through Day Care).

May's Been An Exciting Month

In early May, Mom and Dad spent their first night away from Abby for a wedding. Obviously, Abby was very sad to see us go...
Abby had good baby-sitters and was a model child (we expect nothing less from her)...





Later in May Abby also got the opportunity to visit with her aunts, uncle, and cousins in Fort Wayne. On Saturday, all the ladies plus Joe went to the Fort Wayne Zoo while Uncle Rob and Daddy went boating with Patrick and Jorge.

Unfortunately, the trip was cut short when Li'l Joe came down with a double ear infection, strep throat, and a strong desire to take part in Abby's exercise regimen (his thighs are bigger).










Notice something missing from this picture with the kangaroos? That's right, Little Abigail is nowhere in sight.

We've seen Abby jumping in the Jumparoo...we've seen kangaroos jumping at the zoo...but we've never seen both Abby and the kangaroos at the same time. What does that mean?

Anything To Help Make My Thighs Look Better

Since Abby hasn't taken up crawling just yet, we've offered her exercise alternatives to help cut some of the extra baggage she's carrying in her gigantic thighs. One of her favorite activities is the Jumparoo.



Steph has suggested to the Day Care that Abby, like her mother's spinning classes, lead the group in daily exercise activity. And just like spinning, Abby will coordinate the jumping to music. So far her playlist includes "ABCs", "If You're Happy and You Know It", and selected Beattles (White album) songs.
