Puzzles

Abby has loved puzzles since she was about 11 months old. In the last few months she has graduated to jigsaw puzzles. It took her quite a while to understand how they worked, and papa worked hard to teach her the concepts of corners and edges. At this point she needs a lot of help with new puzzles, but she quickly memorizes them by doing them over and over and over again.

Her she is in action. (Be warned the video is a bit boring.)



(Oh, she picked out this outfit. She wanted to wear orange because Lily was, and she wanted to wear the shorts because they don't fit over a diaper but she was wearing training pants.)

Painting

Total concentration needed to make Daddy a Father's Day present.

Lovey

Abby's lovey, named "Gus-Gus", helps her to sleep and, in this case, wake up.

Tummy Time

"It's ok, Widdy."

Skyping the Nana and Papa

Clearly Nana and Papa need to borrow some hats from Grandma and Grandpa.

Magic Trick

In truth our conversations usually go more like this:



huh?

Coos

I was trying to get her to show off her smile, but I had to settle for some coos.

Potty Training

Sister Time

What's stronger, Abby's arms or Lily's legs?

Tea Party

Abby has just gotten over a horrible cold that lasted over a week. When she was starting to get better, Dan coaxed her outside for a tea party even though her energy was still quite low.
