Well I've been back to work for a week now. Last week was horribly tough on me and I still miss Abby dearly, but you all deserve an Abby update! :) Abby has been spending her days with her Grammy (Cindy), Grandma (Carol), and Auntie (Mandy). She is just full of life and love and entertains all of her audiences. She is now giving the raspberry and thinks that it is so funny when people give it back to her. The other night I held her in my lap and said the word, "Kitty" and she laughed a good belly laugh. That word continued to amuse her for another 10 minutes or so. She is full of smiles and is definitely testing out her voice. She visited with her second cousin once removed Susannah (yeah, we just call her cousin Susannah...) ;) down at the lake recently. Susannah taught Abby how to scream and Abby has definitely been testing out her lungs from time to time. Abby continues to be such an easy baby. She only fusses when she's hungry or over tired and her fussing is always so tolerable. She loves to stand (with the help of someone, of course) and spends so much time exercising. She is just in love with her mobile too. I'm including a couple videos of our dear Abby entertaining. :) She spent this past weekend out at the lake and went swimming again. She now loves to swim and doesn't mind cold water (Leif and I dipped her toes in the cold Boston Harbor and she didn't even frown) :) We've been trying to enjoy every second of free time with Abby. Our time has become so precious. :) Abby sends love to everyone (as do we) :)

Terry, your description of Abby is so good that I can picture her performing. What a good-natured baby you have. But it helps that she has good-natured parents, grandparents, and auntie. I'm so glad Abby got over her worries about water. Sounds like she's well on her way to becoming a mermaid. XXXOOO
