Touchdown! (unfortunately it was a GT score). We hope she'll get to do this to celebrate an Irish TD this season.

Hey mon

Abby sports her cute dress from Jamaica. Thanks to Aunt Kelly and Uncle Brian!

Abby is a Big Girl

Here are some shots of Abby hanging out in her Big Girl Bed (which she now sleeps in every night-yay!)....and demonstrating one of her newest Big Girl skills--walking down the stairs by herself with a mean face.

36 weeks

Here is mommy at 36 weeks--in the home stretch!

Tubby Time

Here Abby shows off her tan lines and her sweet mullet during one of her favorite (or least favorite, depending on the day) times of day.

A hug for baby brother

Happiness is....

...eating a tortilla chip inside a laundry bag. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

A new cousin!

Molly and John welcomed Frank Joseph (or "Frankie Baby" as Abby likes to call him) on July 18th at 12:06pm. What a cutie!

Kelly & Brian's Wedding

We celebrated the marriage of Katie's sister Kelly on Saturday 7/14/07. What a great day!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Abby celebrated Grandpa's birthday and Father's Day by making him a special card. She calls it her "masterpiece."

Chillin' in the playhouse

25 weeks

Starting early

Here Abby starts her journey in learning about the wonders of alcohol. Dad may regret this later.

19 months

Hi! I am 19 months old today--can you believe it? Mommy asked me to give you an update. So, I guess I will start with my favorite stuff. I still love yogurt, but my other favorite foods are sloppy joes and spaghetti. That stuff is so good. My favorite letter is E and my favorite number is 8. I like to shout "8" every time I see one somewhere, especially in the grocery store. I like watching the Weather Channel with Mommy in the morning, I love Sesame Street, and I must admit that I am a bit obsessed with my Laurie Berkner Band DVD. Thank goodness Mommy and Daddy don't get annoyed when I want to watch it 3 times in a row. I love to play outside and my most favorite thing is to swing on the swings. Oh, and I also really like to dance. I don't like having to come in from outside or brushing my teeth, and I HATE time out. Fortunately, I am a pretty good girl so I don't get time out very often. That's about all the news I have for you. Til next time....

One last thing. Here are some pictures of me watering the driveway with my shiny silver watering can. Enjoy!

Fun in the sun!

Abby got all dolled up and went outside to enjoy the beautiful weather...

Picking some pretty flowers

Just looking cute

Fun with the alphabet ball

She hasn't quite mastered the big wheel yet...

21 weeks

Here is Katie at 21 weeks....a little over halfway there

Today Abby picked her own outfit, right down to Mommy's slipper sock. She thought the headband made her look extra-cool.
