Abigail is 1 today, hooray!

Above: Abigail plays with her new toy phone.

Below: She tries to answer her phone "Hello?"

Below: Just smiling and playing

Above and below: Some close-ups of the smiley birthday girl. You can see her lil teeth in the photo above.

I forgot to mention in previous posts that Abigail started standing unsupported last week. She gets really excited when she does it, and starts clapping. ;)

Birthdays young and old

In January, Abby's Great Great Grandma Ketterman turned 100! We visited her and here are a couple of pictures. Above is a photo of 5 generations!

Abby and Great Great Grandma Ketterman are about 99 years apart in age. :)

Above: Granny has her arms full of babies! :)

Above: Here is one of some of the kids playing with new toys.

Above: She was so tired at the end of the day! She relaxed with a bottle before bed, and used Henry as a footrest. He didn't mind!

Above: All rested up this morning and ready to play some more. She is pointing at me to tell me to stop taking pictures and come push her around on her car.

Above: Today she got her first haircut. I just trimmed her bangs a little. :)

All the "kids"

Thought I had better post some pictures, since it has been a while since I last did so. I want to share some pictures of all of the "kids" including the furkids! So here we go!

In these two, Abby was sick....but not too sick to still play with Henry and steal his toys.

Here she is telling Henry this is HER highchair.

Henry knows the high chair contains many tasty crumbs.

Here he is trying to sneak a snack before we cleaned the highchair.

Here is Abigail peering into the ginormous toybox Gramps made for her. It is adorable, with animals on it to match her bedroom. Right now we have it in the living room--that's where it fits! :) Plenty of room for more toys in there!

2 recent photos of Hoss, our cat who will be turning 12 this summer!

And last but not least, 2 recent photos of Henry, our pug who will be 3 in March.

11 months old today!

I don't have any pictures ready to share today, but I will try to get some soon.

I forgot to post after Abby's 10 month check up in December. She was at 25th percentile for height, 35th for weight, and 90th for head circumference. :)

Now she is 11 months old today! Time is really flying. Some things she has started to do since my last post: she gives hugs and kisses! She makes gestures for combing her hair when I say the word comb. She also gestures and points when she wants food or drink. (Puts fingers in her mouth and then points when she wants a snack for example.) She has also started to refuse her baby food and eats some of our food. Last night she had some meat loaf and mashed potatoes!

Her birthday party is going to be Saturday, February 10 at 2pm, at our house. Friends and family, please let us know if you can attend!

Edited to add: She also got her first tooth this past weekend!
