Abby talking up a storm!

She say's all words we could type about this!

Fleetwood Mac

Last Tuesday Christina gave me my birthday present early, tickets to go see Fleetwood Mac at the Verizon Center. Christina and I are both huge Mac fans and we even had "Songbird" as our Wedding Song as well.
My mom so graciously watched Abby and Christina and I went to our 1st concert together since college when we saw Bon Jovi.
We met up with my sister Angie and her husband Dave bc they are big Mac fans and have seen them before too.
Well I have to say the concert was AWESOME! We had quite a number of older folks come up to us and say "Aren't you all too young to be here", and we said "Not too young for this music that still affects our generation" well I didn't really say that, I just smiled and said "whatever you say Buddy".
There was no opening act, and they just walked out on stage and played all their greatest hits.
The Verizon Center was not built to hold big concerts as the acoustics were not the best, but you could still here them rocking out. We all had a great time, and unfortunately we did not get to here Songbird as Christine McVie was not on tour with them, but we did here one of the greatest songs ever, Big Love...

We only stayed at the venue until about 10:20ish as we still had to get up the next morning at 4:30 and it was about an hour commute home from the venue.

All in All, it was a great time together even though we would look at pics of Abby constantly on our phone bc we missed her so much, but it was much needed, and we loved it.

New views

Abby can now sit up in her stroller and it definitely changes her perspectives on things. The whole ride up to subway the other weekend she sat in silence just staring at all of the cars, people, buildings, trees, etc. By the time we left subway it was dark and cold so I carried her home in the ergo carrier and in 5 minutes she was out like a light. She was a little overstimulated from all of the stuff she got to see, but I know she is going to enjoy that perspective than the previous view of skies and trees.




Ok these shorts were 9 month shorts but they turned into little booty shorts. I couldn't believe how tiny they were! But she had to wear them at least one time! So we took a picture just for Aunt Jennifer to see how the outfit she picked out looked like =)

Movin' and a Shakin'

Abby has started to try and get mobile. She sees what she wants and she goes for it now. So if that means she leans forward, then rolls, then stretches and squirms, she will eventually get whatever it is. It is exciting and scary at the same time that she is beginning to get mobile. Joe and I have some work to do in order to get the house more baby proof.

First Big Snow Fall

We got close to a foot of snow on Sunday. It was so pretty and for the first time we didn't have freezing rain that followed the snow fall. Which made it a little safer to get around town and also meant the snow stayed white and fluffy a little longer. Abby was not all that into the snow. It was bright and cold and wet. A combo that doesn't really appeal to kids under 2 =) So she tolerated it for about 3 minutes and then was done being outside in the snow. Joe and his parents scraped the driveway which took about 4 hours to complete. They were freezing and numb in certain spots by the end of it all!

Sick (Thanks Baby!)

I caught whatever little Abigail had and it was not fun. I have been sick for over a week now. I am finally feeling a little more normal. Last weekend was the pits. I was on house arrest all weekend. I think I got the flu even though I got the shot this year. Go figure! So I missed Brians Magic Show and Danny's birthday, but Abby represented for me.

Abby was so into Uncle BB, she was watching so intently and loved the show.

6 month drs appt

Abby had her 6 month check up last Friday. She was 16lbs 2oz and 27 1/4 in long. So she was in the 70th percentile for weight and 95th for height. She was really good for Dr. Julia (as always). She was trying to show her how she can move from the sitting position to the crawling position on the exam table. She was non-stop moving and grabbing. At one point she just took the stethascope right from the doctor. Thank goodness pediatricians find this amusing. We also found out that our Dr. is having her own baby in August! So seeing Abby gives her a taste of what she is about to experience. Abby had to get 3 shots and an oral vaccine which are never fun but she was a trooper!
