with everything else going on, i forgot to mention that abby is officially walking! she was taking a few steps on her own here & there but not consistently (she started that maybe two weeks ago?) but now she is walking all over the place! she does still drop to a crawl sometimes (it's faster) and of course, she loses her balance and falls. but yeah, walking!!

of course, now that she is walking she seems so much bigger to me. it's hard to think of her as a baby when she is walking around the house ;)

she can also now point to her belly button though she is not interested in doing parlor tricks for mommy.....haha. if i ask too much she ignores me!
