All About Abby Cate

Here we will share some clips and tales of our bouncing baby girl. Come back and visit to she how she grows!

 

Ridin' in Style - Abby Tries out the BOB Stroller

Abby is 5 months old now and we decided to try out our Bob stroller. Brett and I were a little more excited than Abby (she doesn't look too thrilled, does she?), but this thing is AWESOME! It is seriously fun to push and motivation to go on lots of hikes. It can roll over just about anything.

We went for a hike in the hills of Oakland with our friends Megan and Michael and their almost 1 yr old daughter Maya. Maya is a pro at Bob stolling :). We look forward to many more adventures. Thanks to Ron and Sandy for such an awesome gift!









After the stroll we had a little bbq at the house with Uncle Greggie and Auntie Ais too! Maya was nice enough to loan Abby her bouncer, which Abby just loves. Here are some pix of Abby at this age.

 
 

5 months, 1 week old - It's HOT!

Summer is here - at least for the weekend! We are having a heat stroke in Oakland and man is it hot! Not the best time to be a teething 5 month old. Let me rephrase that - not the best time to be a nursing mother of a teething, hot, restless int he night 5 month old ...

Here's Abby cooling off in her carseat with a nice cool washcloth.





Next up - Abby entertains herself in her cool Pack n' Play, chock full of toys and her funny purple "Bumbo" seat from Marnie.





Here I am, finally getting some rest. Mom thought it was cute that I learned some yoga moves in her Prenatal Yoga class - here I am in childs pose :).


And finally, chillin like a villain in my diaper. Fan, please!


 
 

5 months old - June Visitors and Father's Day

What a lucky girl - I had all kinds of family visiting me this month. Grandma Sandy came by and brought more cool outfits for me (new hat and new Hawaiian sundress from Oahu!).


I also got to meet my Great Aunt Jeanne Schultz and Great Uncle Gary Schultz. They were a lot of fun! Uncle Gary sure does look a lot like my Poppy Schultz! They even made the same Donald Duck quacking noises. That was pretty cool.

Aunt Jamie also came by, bringing me some cool new books and a snazzy bib that I am going to wear when I eat real food! Here is a picture of Aunt Jamie reading to me.

The last picture is of me and my Daddy on his first Father's Day as a Dad! Dad wanted to do something fun for Father's Day so we went to Santa Cruz and surfed. Here we are all snuggly afterwards, having a nice big meal.





 
 

4 months, 1 week - Cornell Reunion!

Just over four months old, but here I am on my way to Cornell University.

Mom is getting old and wanted to go back to college for her 10 year reunion, to see some old friends and show Dad and me off. Cornell is located way upstate New York, which is a fun place, but takes a LONG time to get to from Oakland! First we FLEW cross country ... first flight ever for me! Aunt Ronee told me to wear my "Juicy" sweatsuit so I'd be extra cozy on the plane ride. Mom decided to get one too so we could be cozy together. Mom and Dad said I was pretty good on the plane ride. It was cool to sit in the aisle seat and watch everone board the plane ... I was so excited and wanted to meet everyone that went by. Mom wanted me to settle down since it was an overnight flight, so she put me in the Ergo Carrier and I dozed off for most of the flight (you're welcome Mom and Dad!).

When we got to New York City, we rented a car and did the 4 hour drive to Ithaca in a nice roomy SUV with Mom's college buddies, Jenn Roberts, Heather Boyd and Chris O'Keefe.

For the weekend we got the privelege of staying with Kathey and Molly MacQueen, work friends of Mom's, in Trumansburg, NY. They have a super-cool house on Lake Cayuga. I had a great time rolling around on a blanket and sleeping in Molly's big girl room. At age 6, Molly is a budding Cornell Ice Hockey protege and is an expert lizard-ologist, showing us all the places to find salamanders and baby skinks under rocks in the stream near their house.
We had a lot of fun at Cornell, but MAN was it HOT! I got to do lots of big girl things though, like crawl on a table at Ruloff's (a bar in Collegetown ... they didn't even ID me!) and play video game poker with Auntie Jenny. All the heat was making me thirsty when we were up on the roof at Rockledge (a frat house that Mom apparently frequented in college ... good blackmail material for later!). I tried real hard to get Mom's beer but she wouldn't let me have any.

On the way home I went on my first train to JFK and rode an elevator. There sure are a lot of people in New York! I had fun, but it was nice to crawl into my crib at home ... zzzzzzzz.....
