What do we do in Ohio??

I have to say I am pretty proud of myself for doing so much on my blog lately. I am going to try really hard to keep it up:) This post is just some random pictures of what we have been up to lately.

Miss Abby is now a big time eater of baby food and rice cereal. We use her bumbo chair to eat in and she loves it. She likes everything I give her. I think the peas were a little questionable for her at first, but she eats them now:) I try so hard to plump this girl up but she just won't do it. She is still a great eater though. When she gets really hungry she starts breathing really heavy in her chair and the second she sees me pull out a jar of baby food in front of her and pop it open she calms down because she knows what is coming:) Lately Abby has started to "dance" in her chair, and even when she is not in her chair as of the past few days. She will bop her body back and forth and smile really big. I love that her personality is really starting to show.

Andrew is completely obsessed with jumping lately. Before we left Utah we would take him to Jump On It probably three times a week-that is no exaggeration. It is kind of sad because he keeps asking to go there and does not understand why we can't. The last night we took him before we left he jumped in the air and on his own completely did a flip. Who is this kid????? I REALLY need to post the video I have of it. I will work on it. I think he meant to do a sommersault but got some air and then kept doing it over and over again. He was so proud of himself and tells us all the time about how he can do a flip. The picture below is now his makeshift trampoline. I could really careless that he is jumping on the couch because it is our rental furniture for the summer--is that bad of me? Oh well, he is entertained and that is really all that matters to me right now! He removes the cushions multiple times a day and just jumps and jumps and jumps. I still am trying to figure out how that kid is literally NEVER tired.

This picture just melts me. This is Abby in a nutshell: always super sweet, mild mannered, and smiling.

Andrew really can make Abby laugh better than anyone else. She always watches him and laughs at him. He loves to bounce her in this toy, but I probably tell him to be "soft" five thousand times a day. He gets a little too excited. Luckily she can handle it most of the time and just laughs.

Bubbles are now a favorite of Andrew. Everytime he starts begging for bubbles I think he sounds like the crazy lobster in the fish tank on Finding Nemo "bubbles! bubbles! bubbles!". Anyone know what I am talking about? I obviously have watched that movie WAY too many times. I think I could quote the whole thing.

As for me...I am still trying my hardest to get back in shape and lose some weight. I am a little discouraged because I was doing really really well, then when I came back here I basically gained it all back. So back to square one. I joined the YMCA here so I have a place with daycare to work out. Andrew calls it the Triangle Store (because the Y symbol looks like a triangle). He also calls Target the circle store now. HA. That's about it these days!!!
