Zoo Trip II

Abby and I had a great time at the zoo today. We saw all of Abby's favorites and this trip we rode the train too. Here a some pictures from our day. Enjoy!

Tortillas Song and Other Funny Stories

A recent picture of Abby cleaning, one of her favorite things to do.

We have several new Abby stories to share with you all.

Tortillas Song
We started singing the Sunday school song "Zaccheus Was a Wee Little Man" to Abby and now at nap and bed time she asks for the Tortillas song because she has trouble pronouncing Zaccheus. Maybe living in San Antonio is having an effect on her.

Sample
Today at the mall we walked past Auntie Anne's pretzel store and Abby started walking toward the counter when we asked what she was doing she said she wanted a sample. Ummm...I (Naomi) take total responsibility for this as I am the queen of samples. But, isn't two a little young to know about samples? We didn't even know she knew the word "sample."

"Sit and Be Fit"
Disclaimer: If you've never seen the PBS show "Sit and Be Fit" you may not think this story is that funny. Check out the show's website and this story makes more sense - http://www.sitandbefit.org/.

When I (Naomi) take showers in the morning I usually put Abby on our bed with books and let her watch a TV show on PBS. The other day her show ended and "Sit and Be Fit" came on. I walked out of the bathroom to find Abby exercising along with the host of "Sit and Be Fit." Needless to say, Matthew and I lost it. We are still laughing about Abby's workout - she was so into it.

Precious Abby

Here are a couple pictures of Abby we took today. As we wrote in an earlier post, she is really not into looking at the camera when we try to take her picture, so this is as good as it gets for now.
Abby has become quite the talker lately. She is starting to use pronouns and is sharing her own "original" thoughts with us (opposed to repeating what she hears us say).
Here are a couple Abbyisms of late...
We were on a walk with Abby the other day and Abby decided she wanted to start running. After she stopped she said, "Abby has fast legs." We were driving yesterday and passed a runner. Abby pointed to him and said, "He has fast legs like me."
The past several days Abby has been completely disinterested in taking a nap. When we tell her it's time she starts crying and runs in the opposite direction. Yesterday Matthew and Abby were downstairs playing and I told them to come up in two minutes for rest time - we thought maybe using rest rather then nap may make a difference - it was no use - anyway, Abby looked at Matthew and said, "Daddy, take me get donuts."

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! We hope you all had a day filled with lots of love.

For those of you that have not had the chance to meet our adorable nephew Abram - here he is wishing all the lady loves out there a Happy Valentine's Day.

La Comida Mexicana más Sabrosa del Mundo

We have found the best Mexican food restaurant - Taquería Aquascalientes. All three of us love it - Abby always asks for tortillas. If you come and visit us then we have to take you there because it is just glorious.

First Trip to the Zoo

Today we took Abby to the zoo and had so much fun. Abby loved the petting zoo where she got to brush the goats and she enjoyed looking at the elephant and the zebra. And she loved the aquarium too. We bought a family membership so I'm sure this will be the first of many trips for us. Enjoy this picture of Abby pointing out the fish - this is the only picture we were able to get of her actually looking in the direction of the camera.

Welcome to Our Blog!

Hello! Now that we've moved to San Antonio and away from friends and family we decided it was past time to start a blog. Hopefully this will help us stay in touch with you all and enable us to share recent pictures and stories about the most fun member of our family - sweet little Abby Ruth!
