Chicken Little!

I really like puzzles. This is a farm puzzle mommy got for me a little while ago. Each cube has part of a different farm animal and you have to find the right side of the cube to make an animal. You can make 6 different animals: Chicken, Horse, Cow, Pig, Sheep & a Duck. Well
I decided that it was too easy to do it the regular way (flat on the floor). I think it is MUCH more fun to build up! Mommy says that is pretty impressive...I just like a challenge.

Abby Zicaso!: Our Budding Artist!

Our cousin's John and Jennifer gave us this really cool desk. Both Michael and I really really really like it. We sit at it all the time and make pretty pictures! Sometimes I like to taste the crayons but Mommy says "Abby! Yucky!" and I stop and laugh at her (I don't taste them very often...they ARE yucky!).

WE HAVE A BONAFIDE WALKER!!!

On May 6, 2006 I started walking!!!! Mommy says she considers it walking when I prefer to walk rather than crawl. I've been taking steps since just before my birthday and now I can walk all over the place. I like to chase after Michael too! Mommy and Daddy says it is very cute how I walk and giggle a lot when I'm walking around. Walking is VERY cool! Mommy says she will post a picture (and maybe even a video?!?!) when she takes one (silly Mommy!).

...stay tuned!...

Our Friend Penny!

This week was a very special week. Our friend Penny and her Mommy came and stayed with us from Monday to Friday. We had SO MUCH FUN!!!! Penny is a super cool little girl and she fit right in! Our Mommy's had so much fun too that there aren't any pictures (these are the only ones my Mommy took)!!!! Maybe Penny's Mommy got some better ones and will post them on Penny's blog when they get home. We hope they can come visit again (and bring Penny's Daddy too!).

Miss Penny

A Boy and His Mommy!

I wanted to take a picture of me and Mommy...

Abby Girl

What every girl needs is her lamby, a cell phone and her pink chair.

This is a very pretty outfit and it is finally warm enough to wear. My cousins Claire, Evan and Daniel (and their Mommy and Daddy: Cheryl and Kerry) gave this to me when I was born. Cheryl is Mommy's cousin.

Mommy is going to have to play catchup!!!

She is a little behind in updating the blog - stay tuned for more cuteness and shenanigans from Michael and I.

"Mom - I'm a cool dude"

...'nuff said

Hmmmmmmm...do you see a resembleance?

Michael - 2 1/2

Mommy - 2 1/2

HAPPY EASTER!!!

The whole gang!! This was taken in the late afternoon.

Both of the kids were really tired and ready to go home!

We got lots of goodies in our Easter basket. Mommy and Daddy weren't keen on getting us candy so they got us games, coloring books, slinkies, a calculator, play-dough, magnetic letters for our letter board, puzzles, lots of stuff! We were VERY excited.
Thank you great-grandma Joan for the goodies for our baskets!

Me and Mommy

I likes to play with the instruments in Papa and Dama's music room.

Our cousins Katie and Rachel's Mommy and Daddy were on a trip so they are staying at Papa and Dama's house...they are very lucky! Rachel and I wrestled...it is fun to wrestle with someone bigger than Abby but not as big as Mommy and Daddy!!!

Rachel is my most favorite person in the whole wide world. I don't look for Mommy when Rachel is holding me. I spent most of the day on her hip.

Too much party! I got all tuckered out playing with my cousins. I fell asleep on the way home and took a nap on the couch.

"Mom! Michael reading...Michael a great reader!"

That is what I told Mommy this morning. When she turned around to look at me this is what she saw...

....I don't understand why she was laughing...this is a great book...hmmmmmm....very interesting....

April Fun!

I think it is the most fun to eat my food while laying on my back on the floor. I like to roll around and look at everything and play with my toes...all the while munching on a yummy bagel!
It is really great to have a little sister. I like to hug her and kiss her as much as I can. Sometimes, though, having a little sister isn't so fun...like when she takes my toys and runs away with them laughing...I don't like that very much.

Our great-grandma Bell came to visit us. She is our Mommy's grandma. Great-grandma brought Abby a really cute outfit and then got down on the floor and played with me when I asked her to.
Daddy was mowing the lawn and Michael and I went from window to window so we could make sure we could see him. I would bang on the window so that he would know that I was keeping an eye on him! Mommy and daddy can't wait until the ground dries out a little and we can play more outside.
Woohhhhh Daddy!!! I love it when Daddy holds me upside down. I don't want him to stop and when he puts me down I want to do it again right away! Daddy's are FUN!
I am ALMOST walking. I can go several steps by myself. I wanted to show you my red shoes. They are my favorite and I insist (and Mommy wants me to say that insist maybe too calm a word...more demand) on wearing them all the time. I think every girl should have a pair of satin, red, dancing shoes!

Aunt Fessy!

Here is a really cute picture of me and my Aunt Fessy!

I like Aunt Fessy she is lots of fun!!

Houston...We Have Pigtails!

I can't even being to discribe how HAPPY Mommy is that she can now put pigtails in my hair. She says I'm the cutest darn thing she has ever seen. I like my pig tails too - I don't try to take them out or anything.

Fun with Daddy - Part II!

We got a package in the mail a couple of days ago. Inside was some food and this white stuff Daddy called 'dry ice.' He poured some water on it and this smokey stuff came up. If he blew on it more would come up. It was really fun. Abby kept trying to catch the smoke! I liked to blow on it and make the smoke go really high!

I Just Wanna ROCK!

I love to play the piano. I play and dance while I play and walk around the room pushing it. I'm a prodigy!

Bath Time Rulz!

Last Monday Mommy put Michael and I in the bath tub together. We had LOTS of fun splashing and dumping water out. Mommy says that we flooded the bathroom but I think she is exagerating just a little...

Fun with Daddy!

Daddy's are FUN! Especially when they bounce you on the bed. Abby and I couldn't stop shrieking and laughing. Mommy had a hard time taking pictures because she was laughing too!

*These pictures were taken last weekend. The past couple of days we have been very sick in our house with the flu - it hasn't been very fun*

My hat is very important!

It snowed here two days ago (and a little bit yesterday). Mommy was trying to get us all bundled up. I didn't want to wear the nice big warm coat mommy had for me. I only wanted to wear my favorite sweatshirt. I put my hat on and then demanded (mommy says to say that I really did demand...I didn't ask) that my hood go up over my hat. It was really cool.

Most of you know that I don't go anywhere or do anything without my hat. I even sleep in it. Mommy snuck it away from me a couple of weeks ago so that she could wash it and now it is all clean! It is getting too small for my head and mommy and daddy are trying to get me to wear a bigger hat but I like this one just fine!

My chair is super comfy!

I like to lounge in my chair. It is fun to rock and crawl on. It is my chair but I let Michael sit in it too...sometimes.

I Love the Camera!

"Cool! The camera! Can I have it Mommy?"

"If I smile really pretty and jabber will you let me have the camera?"

"No?! Fine - I'm mad!"
"Just checking to make sure you are looking at me."
"You are - Good - I'm Mad!!"
