Christmas Morning 2008

Who Doesn't Love A Bouncy Castle?

Abby and Alex were SO lucky to be invited to a birthday party Saturday. The birthday boy, Jared, had a bouncy castle (maybe that makes HIM the lucky one). Abby and Alex were so "taken" with it, that they wouldn't leave the castle for almost anything!



PS - Abby and Alex have become very great friends. Abby and I went with Alex and his mom to the theater to see "Wall-e" this afternoon. During the movie, Heather caught my attention. She pointed to the kids, and they were holding hands. Oh, how sweet!

ABCs with Abby

Recently, Abby has been coming up to me,showing me different letters in sign langauge. It is very cute! She does a pretty good job. So I decided the next time she showed me a letter, I would be ready with my video camera, we would go through the alphabet. Enjoy!

Note: Please excuse Abby's appearance! She had just woken up this morning. If we all waited till we looked perfect, we wouldn't get half the cute stuff taped that we wanted!!! :D

Abby On The Phone

Many of you call the house and ask to speak with Abby. She usually does pretty well, but some days she seems preoccupied, like today. Ever wonder what a two year old is thinking? Well, so do we. Enjoy this little clip, I hope it doesn't make you tired!

Did she just say Butt-ho**???

Thursday, Abby and I were reading a book... She skipped ahead a few pages and proudly pointed to the bubbles on the page and said, "Butt-ho**, Butt-ho**, Butt-ho**"... Several thoughts went through my head at that point: 1. I didn't know she knew that word. 2. I am SO proud of her and how smart she is. 3. Did she just say, "Butt-ho**?" 4. Okay, that's funny!

So being the best mom I know how (wink, wink), I called Mike and had Abby reiterate. It makes me laugh every time! By Friday Abby no longer said bubble on demand, so I had to give it a rest. Tonight I was surprised at how accommodating she was. Here is some of our exchange.
