1st trip to the zoo!

Abigail & cousin Gavin had their first trip to the zoio last weekend. Here we are on our way in:

2 more I couldn't get in the last post

Just 2 more I wanted to share:

We had professional photos done today

Here are a few examples of the photos we had done. We went to Portrait Innovations, and when you buy a package collection they give you every shot on a CD. Not huge resolution, but still fun to share! I think there were 75 photos on the CD, so many to pick from. It was hard to choose for our prints! :)

Baby'tude

No pictures today, just a story:

Abigail isn't quite 7 months old yet (will be in 4 days) and I think she already has a little baby'tude (attitude) going on. On Saturday we were playing, and I picked her up. She loves to pull my hair, which she did. I took her hand out of my hair and said sternly "Ouch, No, don't pull mommy's hair." She looked at me for a second, then yelled "Bahh!" and smacked my face!

I was in shock, it seemed so deliberate. Isn't she too young for that though? I looked at Jeff with my mouth agape, and his eyes were wide, he just shook his head.

Sometimes I swear she is cursing at us in baby talk. ;)

Any of you other parents or caretakers of babies out there have experience with this? If so, please share in comments. :)

Abigail had her 6 minth check up and shots on Friday. Here are the latest stats:
weight: 15 lbs 13 oz, 50th percentile
height: 25 1/4 inches, 30th percentile
head circumference: 44 cm, 90th percentile

And here are some photos taken on our trip to Topeka in July for Valerie & Max's wedding:

We will be posting more recent photos soon, including some of our trip to Colorado and some of Abigail sitting up on her own. Abby can roll all around but she hasn't started creeping or crawling yet. She scoots backwards a little sometimes. She can sit unsupported now, but we have to help her get to the sitting position. Sometimes she puts her head down and lifts up her behind like a tripod. Hehe! She has been enjoying eating various solids-cereals, veggies, and a few fruits. We haven't tried the baby food meats yet but probably will sometime soon. Some of her other favorite things to do include shaking her head back and forth as if she is saying "no!" and she likes to say "mamamamamamama". Clearly showing her preference for a certain person. ;)

Photos from July 4th

We stayed home and relaxed on the 4th. Did some grilling and enjoyed the day. We took a few pictures of our yard, and these of our little cutie. :)

More pictures!
