My Super Sweet 16 - Month Old

Abby turned 16 months a few weeks ago and I just have to say, she is more fun than ever. She laughs a lot (and snorts while she laughs - possibly the cutest and funniest thing ever) and talks, sings and plays nonstop. We are very lucky to have such a delightful girl to fill our days. Here are some highlight from the last few days.

After a lot of hard work she finally got the sunglasses on by herself!


She is obsessed with our tomato plant... and she loves to water it.


Just another Saturday morning.




We fulfilled my dream of Abby in Uggs. I didn't think she would care, but she LOVED them. She looks so old and laughed and laughed when we put them on her... oh how I wish I'd had the video camera running. She was so cute walking around and giggling.

Jam Session

Singer, song-writer and percussionist, Abby Malley, sings her new single "Shake, shake, YAY!!"

I love Sunday BBQs

To me there's nothing better than ending the weekend with a BBQ!

Getting So Big...

Summer 2010


Summer 2009


Abby is pretty obsessed with the bouncy chair. I don't know if it's because she hasn't seen it in almost a year or if it's because she just doesn't want to share it with Lazo, but it's pretty funny to see her lounging in it.

Abby meets a baby...

We were lucky enough to host Roberta and Lazo for a night and Abby had a chance to interact with her first baby! There were some things she liked about having a baby around and some things that she definitely didn't like (I wish you could have seen her face when she was cranky and I had the audacity to hold Lazo instead of her!!). Anyway, Abby had fun with baby Lazo and I'm sure when the time comes she will make a very loving and bossy big sister (is there any other kind?).

Would you look at those baby blues?!




Lazo is such a sweet baby and smiley too!


Abby looking so old!


One thing is for sure, Abby LOVED seeing all of her old "toys" - here she is in the baby bathtub.




Roberta and Lazo stayed with us on her 4th wedding anniversary and Matt wins the prize of most conscientious husband ever since he sent Roberta a beautiful bouquet and Abby and I one too for hosting his family! What a guy!
