On Sunday we had a nice memorial service for my Grandpa. Afterward, Abigail got strolled around by her cousin Anna.

Grandpa Peter's Park
Abigail and I are back from our extended-weekend trip to Oregon. While we were there, Abigail got to play at the park that Grandpa built at church. 
Jammin' to the Ringtones
Thanks to Grandpa Mike for forwarding these videos of Abigail dancing. She is dancing to the ringtones on his cell phone.
I can't decide if this one sounds Italian, or if it's the music from a carousel...so, we'll call the the Italian Carousel. My favorite is when she almost loses her balance about halfway through, but then keeps on going. Nice recovery! Although it's almost as cute when she keeps dancing after the music stops.
Next up, the Hallelujah Chorus...
P.S. We're leaving for Oregon tomorrow for my Grandpa's memorial service. I will try to post while we're there, but no promises. We get back next Tuesday.
Bye-Bye
Bye-Bye, Nana and Grandpa Mike. Thanks for visiting me and helping to celebrate my birthday!
Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!
What's more fun than going to the zoo with baby, Nana, and Grandpa? Going to the zoo with baby, Nana, and Grandpa, and watching a thunderstorm while you're there! We got a little soggy on Memorial Day, but we had a great time, nonetheless. (And the storm was kind of fun to watch!)
Last time we were at the zoo, Abigail missed a nap, and fell asleep. She was a more animated and interested during our visit to the zoo yesterday.
Apparently, Abigail prefers monkeys to apes. Her close encounter with a gorilla on our last visit to the zoo ended in tears. But this time she was pleased as punch to get up close and personal with three baboons.
Fun in the Sun
Just call our backyard Six Flags for toddlers. We've got a veritable amusement park going on back there. Today we blew up the wading pool and made a water slide. It took a few tries for Abigail to get comfortable with the idea, but soon she was eager to slide...over, and over, and over.
Our neighbor Mikayla gave Abigail a swing for her birthday. We don't have all the hardware that we need to install it, so today we improvised. Who knew that a mobile swing could be so much fun?!
