Pretty Flowers

Abby got to pick some flowers from the yard yesterday and Daddy helped her put them in a vase for her room. She was so proud! She also wanted to try out her 4th of July dress a little early. She loves to wear "pretty dresses" and dance around the house!

Dress like Daddy Day

Today is dress like Daddy day in honor of Father's day. We went to Old Navy and picked up a navy polo shirt out of the boys dept for Abby to wear. Finish with a pair of khaki capris and ta-da - dressed like Daddy. Abby kept saying she was wearing "Daddy's shirt" which was adorable. The first pic she is all sad because we asked her to put down pink dog for the picture. You can see how her mood improved once we let her pick him back up. :)

New hair clips

Just wanted to share a few pics of Abby that Paul took around the house the other day. I ordered some new hair clips from a friend that makes them. One is a butterfly and it is Abby's favorite! She loves it! One is a collection of bows and there is a third that is a red flower. Abby loves her new "hair bows"!

The new summer line was just put out and the clips are all of Disney's princesses! Guess I am going to have to get Abby some more - her obsession these days is with Cinderella!

New bed!

We moved Abby into an official toddler bed today. We took all the nursery furniture out and put in her new bed, a shorter bookshelf and a chest of drawers. The best part is that most of her toys made the move upstairs into her room! We need to make room for the new nursery! Our office is going back downstairs so that the new baby boy will have a space of his own!

Baltimore day 3 - National Aquarium

We spent our last full day at the National Aquarium. Paul only had sessions in the morning, so we was able to join us for the afternoon. We all had a great time! Abby loved the turtles and the sting-rays. The Aquarium is beautiful! There was a wonderful rainforest section where Abby got to see plenty of birds and a monkey. She even saw her first Dolphin Show and loved the dolphins jumping out of the water. She even got to mingle with some ducks outside the Aquarium.

Baltimore day 2 - Discovery Cove

Abby and I headed to Port Discovery Children's Museum on our second day in Baltimore. Paul was giving his presentation today and meeting with Ross. After the museum, we met Paul out at the inner harbor for dinner. Then we ventured back out to the fountain for Abby to play. She got absolutely soaked this time around with the help of some other kids playing in the water. She had a great time!

Baltimore day 1- Inner Harbor

Well, we all headed to Baltimore this past week. Paul was speaking at ACSM and Abby and I tagged along. We spent the day exploring the Inner Harbor while Paul was busy at the conference and then we met him at night for dinner. Paul and I have both lived in Baltimore for short stints in the past. We had both forgotten how much we liked it there! We also were reminded how much we liked being in a big city. Abby had a great time, she even took a picture of Pink Doggy in her stroller to share with everyone. We pretty much stayed in the harbor for the day.
