National Grandparent Month

So, the month of June was Nat'l Grandparent month, as I mentioned. We saw all of them for a total of 13 days, almost half of the month. Abby loved it! She is getting more spoiled by the day.

We have been enjoying Abby's smiling face, her new laughter, her love of music, and her efforts to roll over half way. She'll get there soon. She does well in her swing or on the bed alone for about an hour a day, other than that, she wants to be stimulated and played with. She loves it when we sing to her, her favorite is when Matt plays the guitar. She has become very interested in her toes and bringing them close to her mouth. It is only a matter of time before she sucks on them. (And in case you are concerned, the toe nail polish has worn off.) We bought her a bouncy seat that hangs from the ceiling and she is a little small but really likes it. The mirror is amazing to her, as well as interesting lights and fans still. She is now holding on to her little doll and her stuffed elephant. It is really cute. She goes to the Dr. in 2 weeks for her next set of shots and I am really eager to see what she weighs. I can barely carry her in her carseat anymore. And when we hold her for a long time, our backs start to ache. I can't believe how big she is getting.

Since I married a chef, I have been lazy in the kichen for too long and I decided that needs to change. I have been trying to make all of our meals and venture outside the box a bit, learn new things, make things up, etc...So far, so good. I love the Food Network, it is a great help. Abby loves it too.

After a really nice weekend out of the heat, in Flagstaff, we are planning a quiet month at home. Matt is traveling a lot this month, but we are tired. I think it will be nice to hang out at home for a change. Here are some new pics of the bebe.
