Happy girl, happy parents

We love how Abigail wakes up in the morning--talking to herself. What do you think she's saying? "I wonder what adventures I'm going on today, hey...there's my hand!" Or, "Will I be able to eat that orange or green stuff again today?" (Sweet potatoes and avocados have been added to her solid food menu!)

Last weekend we hung out with lots of older kids (the Tot Lot with Hayley and Charlotte and then the next day trying on costumes with Beatrix and Millie). We discovered too that Abigail thinks puppets are hysterical (especially if they're shiny, have big eyes and a mouth). A fish puppet spoke to her and she laughed and laughed. We bought one for her own this week and while she doesn't think it's as funny she's still mesmerized by it.

We went to the MoMA yesterday with Wanda and baby Aaron. They ate through much of the trip, but still had a great time discovering the works of Matisse and Picasso.

We're off to our fourth sign class today! Abigail hasn't quite picked up any of the signs (in fact last week was the first one she didn't eat or sleep through most of the 45 minutes), but Mama has and can't wait to show them to her when she's ready.

We are more amazed than ever of our girl. Whether she's laughing, wiggling, crying or reaching for our hands we are simply in awe that she is our daughter. Our daughter! It's no longer, "I can't believe she's here" but more, "how did we ever live without her?"
