"She's my Zebra, Mom!"

"She's my Zebra, Mom!" Ashton was adamant that Abbie was HIS Zebra and HE was the Zookeeper. I had to wonder to myself was it the striped shirt Abbie's wearing or just a little boy's longing for a pet that she was transformed into a Zebra this morning? I do have to agree that by putting up the chairs across the entrance to the kitchen, so I could mop the floor, made it look somewhat like a nice holding place for zoo animals. The bars on the chairs made it look so real. Well, if anyone does come to visit we can really call this place a Zoo afterall. Our first animal being a Zebra (thanks to Abbie and some help from a little brother:))

First Climb

After having about a month of crawling, our Abigail decided that she needed to try a new terrain. She has currently not shown any interest at all in the stairs, but for some reason today was the day. I have to laugh because just last night I talked to my sister-in-law about the stairs not being an issue yet and here she goes and proves me wrong the very next day. Well, our little mountain climber didn't get too far, but she seems eager to try again.

Up goes Abbie

What do you get when you put a baby, a sister, a brother, and an air mattress together? Yep, you guessed it! A laughing baby:) Family, friends, and especially grandparents please don't worry. This event occured under close supervision.

Our Visitor

We were able to enjoy a wonderful visit from our friend, Jilly. As you can see Ashton loved the one on one time he got, especially when it involved making cookies:) I enjoyed the opportunity to have one extra set of hands each day to help me with getting kids ready, putting kids in cars, feeding and all those things moms do. Once they leave I often find myself wondering how much a full-time nannie would cost.
