Abby's First Parade

Abby got to see her first parade in Brandon! Her cousin Kinsey and her dance team where in the parade. Abby and her cousins Kinsey and Carson had lots of fun watching the parade! Abby even managed to catch herself some candy (which Daddy enjoyed later!!!)

Sitting Up!!

The same week Abby turned six months old - she started sitting up on her own!! She loves to sit up like a big girl and play with her toys!

In case we forgot....

Did we mention we love taking pictures?!?

Abby & Great Grandma Carol

We had lunch with my Grandma and Abby loved every minute of spending time with her Great Grandma!! She was all Giggles and Smiles

Hehehe - This is totally us!

We love taking pictures (our should I say... I love taking pictures ) and when I saw this cartoon it made me think of us and all our pictures of Abby!!!

Sitting Up!!

Abby started sitting up all on her own this week! She loves sitting up and you can't hardly get her to lay down now!

All Smiles at Grandma's!

Abby was all smiles when we went to visit Grandma Cheryl and Grandpa Dave in Flandreau

Da-Da

Abby said her first word last week - and it was Da-Da!!! And she hasn't stopped, she babbles dadada all day long!!!

Abby 5 Months!

Our friend Jessica is going to school for photography and is in the process of setting up her own studio. While she is still learning, she practices with friends and family. Abby and I where visiting one day and she took these photo's of Abby. We think they are pretty darn cute!

Easter Fun

Easter Dinner at Grandma & Grandpa Anawski's was lots of fun for Abby - she loves playing with all her cousins!

Abby & her Easter Bunnies!

Abby was spoiled on her first Easter, receiving lots of fun Easter Bunnies. Including a special bunny from Grandma Cheryl that says "Some Bunny loves Abigail on it's T-shirt!"

Easter Mass

Easter Sunday the family got all dressed up and went to Mass at St. Therese. Abby's first Easter was special for the whole family, and she got a special little blessing from Father Hal at communion.

Easter Bunny fun with Jadon

Abby and Jadon had fun experiencing the candy & toys part of Easter together! From trying Peeps for the first time, to matching bunnies from Auntie Tiffani - they had lots fun!

Kisses from Daddy

Daddy's Girl...

Abby - 5 Months!

"Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous.
It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
-Elizabeth Stone

Abby is doing really well at 5 months! At her last doctors appointment she was 17.12lbs. 26 inches, and advanced in her motor skills (i.e. holding her head up, sitting up) She is still working on rolling over, but is getting there, she gets half way! She is healthy and happy and we couldn't ask for much more!

Abby first time at the park

There is no feeling like the feeling in South Dakota when we have our first few nice, warm days. Everyone is outside, walking their dogs, playing ball, working on their yards, no one is inside!

Every day it was nice out, Todd and I took Abby for a walk, and she loved being outside. Tiffani and I also took Abby to the park for her first time. She really liked the swings, and really had fun just checking out this new fun experience. Everything was new to her, and she had a blast, as did Tiffani and I!

All dressed up in our Sunday best!

Abby was all smiles Sunday before church in her special dress from Godmother Kimber!
