November was a wonderful, fun filled month! I had pretty much the whole month off, so I got a to spend pretty much all day every day with Abby girl. It was great. She had a lot of fun getting all dressed up and taking advantage of the nice fall weather.
She got to see Mommy shave her head! She was very intrigued and loved rubbing my head for the first few days. The day after I did it I was sitting on the floor and she came up and rubbed and then kissed my head. It was very sweet.
She got and modeled a new purple outfit and vest. Such a ham.
We went shopping with Papa. Several times. We get to see Papa a lot and Abby loves it!
Payton came over a lot this month, too. I watched her for several days and the girls had a lot of fun playing together. So much fun can wear baby girl out!
Again, having fun hamming it up for the camera. So silly.
Miss fashionista!
We took a day trip to Rochester to visit Andrew, Aimee and Norah! (I don't have any pictures of it) Abby really loves her cousin. Norah was just getting over an ear infection and was not very interested in being held by anyone other than her mommy and daddy that day, but it was still nice to see her. She had slept through the entire Bald for Bucks party, and then Abby and Chris had head colds so we didn't want to risk getting her sick so we decided to go visit the following weekend.
Uncle Adam read the girls a story. It was nice having the girls together so much. Lots of fun playtime together.
Abby and Everett had a moment through the door. Charlie better watch out! Haha He's getting so big! Can't believe he's almost one already!
Abby fell asleep on the couch, and ended up hanging off, over the side. Half on, half off. It looked like she was just leaning on the couch sleeping, but her feet weren't touching the floor. It was pretty funny, not sure the pictures do it justice!
Abby was big into wearing sunglasses, if you couldn't tell from the theme of the pictures from this month. It was her accessory of choice for the month no matter what we were doing.
She spent an afternoon playing with Charlie and Isabel. We see a lot less of them now that the weather is colder and all of their kiddos are in school (minus Ev, of course). But I'm sure if we ever get some snow, they will all be out making snowmen and playing. And then of course in the Spring it will be back to regular trips to the playground and playing outside!
We took our annual trip to Cleveland for Thanksgiving! This was the most people that have ever been there and it was great! It was so wonderful seeing everyone. So wonderful, in fact, that I did a terrible job at taking pictures of Abby with everyone, I suppose I was too caught up in just conversing with everyone and hanging out and eating. I got a few pictures of Abby riding Schlomo, which she just loves to do. She really took to Stephen, my Uncle Steve's girlfriend Amy's son, who she met for the first time this trip. It was a riot watching her play with him Wednesday night. She was using what resembled WWF moves on him and he was a great sport about it. We were all laughing like crazy watching the whole thing. Not sure where she got any of that from, either, silly girl! My Aunt Jodi also got us an Elf on the Shelf which we can't wait to start using next year when Abby will be able to understand the whole concept!
Here is her little thanksgiving outfit, thanks to my Aunt Barb. So cute! She was up and about socializing and snacking all day! She must've eaten 1000 cashews! And then like clockwork, the second we all sat down to dinner, she was ready to crash. She hadn't napped all day because there was just too much going on, and our social butterfly doesn't want to miss anything! I had already made her a plate and everything, but she was just too sleepy! Luckily she fell asleep in no time and we were able to feast!
We went to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame the next day. It was Abby's first time going, and the featured exhibit was the Grateful Dead. So how could we not? Abby really took to Jess, and had a lot of fun riding up and down the escalator with her. And running around the exhibit and through the gift shop. So sweet. Jess and Matt even got her two cute little hall of fame rings to bring home. So wonderful seeing them and watching Abby with them both.
I was able to snag a couple of cute shots of Tessa and Jamie with her right before we left and right before Abby hit her wall of sleepiness. It was at that point that I realized I had hardly any pictures from the trip, and almost no pictures with all of the people that were there, but it was too late and Abby was too tired for me to be able to get any good pictures. Sigh. At least the few I did get turned out quite well.
Just don't mind all of Chris' photobombs.....
And can't forget about these gems that I got while Papa was practicing on Thanksgiving. Abby was very interested in the violin and must've gone up to where he was practicing and then back downstairs about 20 times. She was helping him bow. So sweet!
We drove back late Friday night because they were calling for bad weather early on Saturday. Then Saturday we had another Thanksgiving dinner at Grandmas house! Abby had fun playing with (making a mess of) Grandma's sea glass. She helped me set the table and sat at the head of it and just said "Eat!" Funny girl.
It was a very nice and wonderful month. Abby started potty training! And is a potty champ! She is no where near ready to go without diapers, but I took full advantage of my full days home with her, and let her roam the house naked, well diaperless at least, usually donning a long sleeved shirt and some leggings. She picked it up incredibly fast and has been doing great since! She pretty much always poops in the potty without fail, and goes right over and sits and goes when she has to pee. She is still in diapers whenever we go out anywhere and overnight, but the process has started and is going great! She is also starting to talk up a storm! So much fun! And we just can't wait until December and everything that comes with it! Christmas is sure to be tons of fun this year! Can't wait!
