1st Haircut

@ 17 mos young, I finally gave in & took Abby for her 1st haircut today. Since it was her very 1st after all I took her to Snip-Its (Hair Salon for Kids). Abby was amused by the TV for about 1 minute, pretty good for her. The lady was patient with her frequent looking around (every time the door bell chimed) and Abby NOT looking down as requested.

I opted not to pay the extra $3.95 for the picture and took my own. She did come home with a sticker prize (every kid gets one for their courageous efforts), a 1st hair certificate and the 1st curl keepsake.


She had this weird puzzled look pretty much the whole time.


All done with a pretty pink bow (which got ripped out on the car ride home). Note the same puzzled look on her face.

I SCREAM!

hmm I wonder about her sometimes...

Abby had just thrown those links at the bottom left hand corner of the picture to the other side of the gate. Yeah real funny.

The daycare had ICE CREAM DAY today!

not sure what's going on here...

Abby loving every bit of it. I'm surprised she didn't steal anyone else's!

Egghead

Abby the Egghead


This is what Abby does when you ask her "What does a duck say?"

The Wheels on the Bus

ooooh what's going on in there??


Kids playing 'wheels on the bus'. Looks like Abby wanted to get inside too.

Face painting

Abby had her face painted today. Cute pink matches her outfit. She looks a bit in a daze here especially with the drool dripping down her chin... ... ...her last cuspid is poking through. Thank God this teething stuff is almost done (for now!)


Abby being silly

Holden Beach, NC

Nick, Abby & I went to Holden Beach this past weekend. Nick's parents graciously had us visit their beach house. The best part is the house is right on the beach with a deck perfect for Abby's pool.

Walking to the beach:



Abby rocking on the porch like a big girl!

Blue Abby is back

the ever famous Blue Abby (aka: Smurfette Abby) is BACK!
remember this post?... http://abbygregory.blogspot.com/2008/05/body-painting-by-abby.html


our little girl is growing up but funny things haven't changed that much!!

Dress up

After a weekend @ the beach, Abby went back to daycare today. The kids had fun playing dress-up. She looks a bit confused by it here...


Probably her thoughts on wearing camo? hahaa... j/p


ALL SMILES!! Check out the stickers she is wearing for earrings.

Oh stuck again

Oh hello! Nice view of her big old molar back there...

Say "CHEESE"!!

Sitting in a circle. Nick would not like Abby hanging out w/so many boys!

UH-OH~~ I'm stuck! Why she goes in there knowing she'll get stuck is beyond me. Some of her other friends in class like to do this too. Makes me lol everytime... goofy kids.

Ah~~!!!! Much better, thanks for helping me up Ms Ty-Eysha :)

Doesn't it look like she's reading her scribbles out loud to the class?

On the slide

On the slide with her friend Payton.



@ the bottom of the slide. I guess this is how she comes home with grass and dirt stains.


Silly girl...

The teacher behind the shots...

Here she is Ms Ty-Eysha!! She's the dear teacher behind the iphone pictures from daycare. Everyone *cheer* and please say thanks for sending all these pictures (you can leave comments to tell her, since *I* love comments & she does stop by Abby's blog) :)

I certainly would not be blogging as much lately without her.


Riding her scooter today. I love she's so color-coordinated today! (Doesn't happen too often, blame me). That muddy dirt in the playground is why her brand new shoes are mud laden alread *sigh* I should give up on her having clean shoes.


Random pictures... catching bubbles in class! Love that look on her face.

Bookworm

She knows *not* to do this... lives up to her nickname "Abby-Bad-A**"


Digging into red Jell-O @ snack time! There's not enough time to use a silly spoon...


My little bookworm. Can she be laid back anymore?


Doesn't it look like she's really reading?!

Sunny Day in Fayetteville, NC

Mirin, Jayden & Abby went to visit Darin's aunt house in Fayetteville. They had tons of fun splashing in the kiddie pool, playing with the sprinkler, splashing in the pool and picking blueberries. Darin, Pia & I had Vietnamese food for lunch. It was the best VT food ever, yumm!!

& the kicker (my Philly family get a load of this!?!) lowest gas prices: $3.65/gallon

Mirin & her great aunt Pida (spelling?) Nice lawn huh? I've never seen such a well manicured lawn plus pear & banana trees, blueberries bushes, rose garden & even a persimmon plant. I hate hate my pampas grass but their row of pampas grass really looked nice.

Here's Mirin's blog: http://dayswithmirin.blogspot.com/


Jayden & his mommy Pia


Not so unusual seeing Abby eat BUT she's eating fried rice!!!! She has NEVER EVER touched a bit of the fried rice, steamed rice, any kind of rice in our house. (Well minus the exceptions of puffed Korean rice snacks & rice pudding).

Reading is FUN

OK round peg in the round hole... hmmm~~

ah HA~!! It goes like THIS :) I got it :)

Abby just lounging, kicking back (literally) and thoroughly enjoying her book!

As Abby would say "heh-woh" (means = hello)
