Please excuse a rather Abby-centric post, but we were all delighted with our little girl who discovered the joys of her exersaucer this week. She also began averaging three hours rather than two between feedings, and that was simply ... amazing. :) We love you, Abby-girl, but Mommy most definitely does not mind an extended feeding schedule. :)
Day 12. Let the exersaucer be explored!
Oh. Yes. Teeth. She's also cutting teeth. Not overly bothersome during the day. Rather disruptive at night. ;)
Big brother is a pretty cool guy!
Day 13. So. Many. Things. To. Explore!!!!
And look at me sit up!
Or topple ... :) She's oh so close, but is still only stable for about 15-30 seconds. :)
Day 14. Still exploring ...
"Mommy, do we really need to take pictures? I have things to learn!"
And while our little lady explored, this young man designed a whole crew of "jumpers" similar to those on Planes Fire & Rescue. :) Love to see his imagination at work! (For what it's worth, he also has plans to build a spaceship and is already booking passengers ...)
Day 15. "You are My Sunshine" is one of my favorite sleepy songs to sing for Abby, so I was delighted to unpack her nine-month clothes and find this cute outfit with one of the lines from that song printed on the front: "You Make Me Happy." ♥ We had fun investigating Great Grandma's scarf this morning ...
Day 16. I love to see these two together! Their mutual delight in one another thrills this Mommy's heart. ♥
Day 17. The Lord blessed with beautiful!!! weather this weekend! So warm and sunny, in fact, that we were able to get the last four interior doors spray painted! (Not that I took a picture of the process or anything ... not even when I was outside taking pictures of items to post on Craig's List. Ah well.) However, my hubby took this picture of bonfire beginnings ... we figured it would be better to simply make the jumble of logs from an old tree go away rather than leaving them for potential buyers to wonder about. :) Matthew watched it for a bit ... Peter spent most of the afternoon splitting logs to keep the fire fed. :)
And so continues life. Moving or not, little ones are still growing and playing and squabbling and learning and loving and ... living. ♥ For this we are thankful.
For those who have asked, we have chosen a Realtor and are working with him towards a March 1 listing date. Paperwork has commenced, and an assessor and a stager are coming out this week. We're expecting a move date of early May.
