Abby loves Celerly

That kid. I tell ya. She is a NUT. Out of nowhere yesterday Abby started talking in a goofy voice. She thought it was hilarious & instructed Brandon & I any time she spoke to us in that voice, we were to laugh.

I made a pot roast dinner, with mashed potatoes, and of course veggies roasted along with the roast - carrots & celery. After Abby had stollen all of my celery from my lunch (tuna fish salad with celery sticks, cause I"m on a freakin' diet), I figured I'd put some on her dinner plate. Turns out it's her new favorite food, cause she refused to eat anything other than "celerly". Eventually, I talked her into eating a few bites of roast, which she called "chicken" by telling her it would help her grow big & strong like daddy. After eating her "chicken", she ran around the house for the rest of the evening showing off her strong she was! I'm kinda worried that was only a 1-time trick, cause now she thinks she's as strong as Hulk.



The weekend was pretty chill for a change, quite nice. The weather was lovely and we ventured out to the park. Abby actually ran into 3 of her very own friends! Not friends we have, who have kids, so therefore are Abby's friends, but her actual friends from daycare. I found I was introducing myself as "Abby's mom. She talks so much about your son!" It was a new experience for me, kinda cool.

this thing spins around like an individual merry-go-round

That little boy is Abby's very best friend in the whole wide world. His name is Cage. They are about 6 weeks apart in age (he just turned 3), and they both started daycare at the same time together. They were attached at the hip our entire visit to the park. I was so glad she ran into him! Made it so much fun for her!

is she not the prettiest baby? 

Being silly

so much silliness!

hehe!

Brooklyn got some mommy alone time yesterday when we went to the grocery store. I don't realize how little she actually gets individual attention. She was the happiest baby, and was so into looking at everything! I'm not sure if I'm just too distracted to notice during other trips to the store, or if she actually felt more relaxed, but she was very into the store displays, the balloons, and other shoppers. She would look at anyone that walked by us and smile and giggle, she was quite the hit! The woman next to us in line couldn't take her eyes off Brooklyn. And Brooklyn was playing right along, being as charming as could be. Poor kid, she doesn't get enough attention.

Part of Abby showing off how strong she was, was her lifting Brooklyn's legs in the bathtub. And yes, that is impressive, cause Brooklyn is a GIANT baby! Bless her heart.
