Can I just point out that none of these were posed? I just set her in the chair and let her do her thing and...well...she has quite the personality.

She's awesome and I love her.

First Haircut

I don't think many 5 month olds have much hair to cut - but our little Abbs, with her full head of curly locks had enough to necessitate a haircut to keep her from looking like a homeless child. Luckily grandma is skilled and shaped her wispy hair up nicely.

Abby Lately

She loves her Johnny Jump Up - but she prefers spinning to jumping
Photobucket

She loves (LOVES) to watch videos - espcially of herself
Photobucket

She has a love/hate relationship with food
Photobucket

She loves rolling over - most of the time she just hangs out like this
Photobucket

She makes the silliest faces ever - but makes you work to hear her laugh, giggle and squeal
Photobucket

She loves her feet and wants SO bad to eat them - but mostly can't figure out how to get her hand out of the way
Photobucket

and as always - she LOVES to snuggle up

Small and Simple

I went back to work in February full time. Leaving Abby home is easily one of the hardest things I have to do (it isn't any easier 2 moths in), but it's what we do right now and I know she is happy and well taken care of (spoiled) by her grandmas and grandpas and dad while I am gone.

The hardest part of the day is leaving in the morning, especially since she is always extra happy and playful when she first wakes up. Instead of being sad about leaving, I try to focus on little things that will brighten my day - sometimes it's the weather, or seeing the colorful love birds that are sometimes near our house... one morning in particular it was the amazing pattern the ice made on the roof of my car... I know what you're thinking - ice?! But really, it was pretty enough that I had to take a picture to show you all so you didn't think I was crazy:

It just goes to show that if you look for it - even small and simple things can brighten your day.
