Double Straws

I guess she couldn't decide if she wanted milk or juice, so she decided to drink them together.



She's talking to her babysitter, Ama, in the middle.

Daddy's Socks

Mischief

I thought it was a little too quiet in the house...

... and yes, Abby was in the hall rubbing Daddy's deodorant all over her body. (At least it wasn't Vaseline again!)





I have to say, it's pretty weird when your daughter smells like your husband.

Pigtails, the Reality

Abby doesn't like having her hair put up (which is unfortunate, because I want to grow out her bangs.) This is what she usually looks like sometime between 1 second and 2 hours after putting her hair in pigtails.

Guys

Abby travels around the house, and occasionally in the car, with at least one stuffed animal, one of her "guys". She sleeps with 3-4 of them. One can often hear her telling them to "sit, sit" next to her before she starts to play with a toy or read a book.

From the Archives

This is from the 4th of July in Massachusetts, caught on a friend's cell phone. Abby is playing "beep, beep" in the car.



Thanks, Paula!!

And the Carl Anthology, which is kinda heavy.



"Nanum" has been one of Abby's words for a long time. We have no idea what it means but she only uses it if she is happy. The chest rub is Abby's version of "please" in sign language.
