Tanglewood Farm

Last week Abbey and I went to Tanglewood Farm, which is home to many miniature farm animals, manx cats and some really BIG dogs. She had a great time, but she really didn't pet many of the animals- she just put out her hand like you do with a new dog and let them sniff her.


Abbey riding the bull at the end. They also offered free pony rides but Abbey wouldn't wear the mandatory helmet. Maybe next time!


There was a mini cow in this pen, but I must've forgotten to take a picture of him. :(

This was about as close as Abbey got to the animals, which was fine by me!


Abbey, her friend Delaney and mom Krista braving the aggressive mini goats. They knew when you had bread for them!


Mini goats!

The HUGE dogs. We saw about four total, and all were very sweet.

A farm of minis, but also a huge aderondack!

Sponge Bob Popsicle

After two hours of jumping in ball pits and dancing (see new videos!), Abbey downed a Sponge Bob Squarepants popsicle in about four minutes.

32.5 Weeks

For those of you that wanted a new belly shot.

Revisiting Old Friends, Part II

Lilly's room is all ready, and the last items I checked off my "To-Do" list were to raise the crib and put the bumper and mobile back on. Abbey immediately wanted to play with the mobile, and it seemed she definitely recognized her old friends, the Koalas and Kangaroos. She still climbs into the crib daily, which might become a problem once her little sister is inside...

At the Pool

Thank you Tam for the cute suit! I can't believe she fit into a 3T!

Work of Art

I was making banana bread the other day, wondering why Abbey was playing so quietly in the sunroom. Figuring it would be prudent to check on her, I discovered her, crayon in hand, creating a work of art between the windows next to the table she is supposed to color on. I yelled, "Abbey! NO!" which was all it took to start the water works. I felt badly since I could tell she was super proud of her work, so I told her we'd take a picture before cleaning it up. We also took a little video. I tried to get a picture of her cleaning it off with a towel, but it was too distracting- but she did help!

Watching Sesame Street

Typically, Abbey sits on my lap when we watch Sesame Street. On this night, she preferred a more comfortable lounge.
