Abby is 9 months

She is creeping around and loves to jump when someone holds her. She likes real food and will not eat baby rice cereal. Abby is mostly patient when Elizabeth takes toys or knocks her down by acciedent of course. We love having her in our family. She makes us smile!

More Easter fun

So I was going to do a post about the girls easter baskets just because it is fun. The top picture, is a picture of Elizabeth keeping her loot from Abby, oh the joys of sibling rivalry. Elizabeth couldn't wait to get the candy, so she opened and ate the candy in the bathroom where the Easter baskets were hidden. Abby had fun discovering what was in her basket. She liked her yellow ducks to chew on.

After we colored the eggs we went up to Mt. Madonna and had an Easter picnic (Togo's sandwiches) and an egg hunt. It was loads of fun as always.

Elizabeth knew just what to do and went about collecting eggs, and had a wonderful time filling her basket. At one point the basket had gotten pretty full of eggs so Chris offered to carry it for her but that would not do because it was her basket and she wanted to carry it. So he let her carry it and she tripped and all the eggs spilled out but they had fun picking them up as fast as they could. The top picture is of Elizabeth and Grandpa looking at a bannana slug (you'll have to enlarge the picture to see it). Elizabeth has just touched it and is wipeing her hand off on her shirt, it was "too squishy". My Dad always did like bannana slugs for some reason. We ended the afternoon with some candy and a nice quiet ride home as both girls were tired from all the fun.

coloring eggs

Hello so I am finally posting some Easter pictures. Abby had fun spilling die and eating the egg (with the shell still on of course) Elizabeth had a great time coloring the eggs and her hand. Chris looks soo cute with his two bunnies, to bad we do not have some bunny ears for him.

Like to paint?

So this afternoon Elizabeth wanted to finger paint so I said okay. I knew she would get messy so I told her to take off her dress. She had fun painting then I thought well Abby might like to finger paint also so I stripped her down to her diaper. They were both having fun painting on paper untill Elizabeth decided it would be fun to paint on Abby's arm so I eventually just put them on the mat and let them be creative. They had a nice soappy bath afterwards and are not painty any more. I am glad that I only buy nontoxic washable paint!
