A little preview of Abram's 1-year photos.

march 3, 2010


This shirt is pretty funny.

Abram is getting to be pretty speedy! Look at him go!

My little daredevil - standing on his push toy.

Cousin Lila came over after dinner - Abram thought she was lots of fun!

february 24, 2010


Working on the hat again!

We are working on the word "hat" now... hoping that Abram will be ready to wear a baseball cap by summer.

11-month day pictures but one day late so I could get some sunlight for better photos. Poor baby just didn't want to take monthly photos today. He really wanted to peel off the sticker, though.

We spend a lot of time trying to get Abram to keep hoods and hats on his head. Now he thinks everything should go on his head and that it's hilarious.

february 18, 2010

Wasn't on purpose, but now you can picture Abram with red curls. Geez, how pale am I?

february 17, 2010

Abram has his first baseball cap just in time for Spring Training! Go Cards!

february 16, 2010


These are the best jammies - covered in greyhounds!

february 15, 2010

Abram is very skilled at dumping out the dog bowls. (See the new pantry door? Oooh lala.)

february 14, 2010

Abram says "Happy Valentine's Day"!
It wasn't easy getting a decent Valentine's Day photo. All Abram wanted to do was rip off his hat.

february 13, 2010


Adrian is reading Abram the valentine he got from his aunt and his new "Peek-a-Boo" book.

february 12, 2010

We thought Abram may be teeting again. We will see if tooth #5 arrives any time soon.

february 11, 2010


Abram loves that he can turn the light on and off with the remote in the living room.

february 10, 2010

Another early morning photo. When he's asleep he still looks a bit like the tiny baby he used to be.

february 9, 2010


This was Abram's first time in the snow. I didn't have a proper snowsuit or any boots. He was not thrilled.

february 8, 2010

Our morning routine: Abram wakes up between 4 and 5 a.m. Go to the couch for a bottle, fall back asleep.

february 7, 2010

He looks overjoyed to be standing up on the couch, doesn't he?

I am so proud of Abram! He was eager to get in the pool today and show off what we practiced at home - kicking! After 4 swimming lessons of moving Abram's legs for him, he figured out what "kick" means and has been kicking in the tub and while sitting on the carpet. Check out his "kicking practice" from february 4th to see the "dry run".
Next we'll be working on putting ears in the water - he squirms and whines when it's time to lay on his back.

Definitely walking on his own now, and he's loving it.

Abram gave his bedtime story a kiss goodnight.

february 2, 2010


I think he's looking quite mischievious here. He knows he gets in trouble for climbing on the fireplace, so he keeps turning around and giggling.

february 1, 2010


Today Abram tried on his birthday outfit. I want him to coordinate with his sock monkey so I think I found a pretty good match, but I want a colored shirt to wear under the overalls. I also need to create a #1 patch for the bib. Off to Michael's for some felt!

Abram went to church today to see Grandma and Grandpa. I think his favorite part was the pancakes at IHOP afterward.
Later, Abram made a pretty picture with Mom's grading markers.

Went to Evan's first birthday party this afternoon. Mandee took a cute family photo for us. Abram was very into Evan's Busy Ball Popper... we will be putting that one on his first birthday wishlist!

january 29, 2010

No photo today - bad mommy.

january 28, 2010


Our routine has become: wake at 4 a.m., go to the couch and cuddle/ Abram has a bottle until he falls back to sleep. Here's how he fell back to sleep this morning.

january 27, 2010

Headed to have dinner with the Kitleys and the Baytons tonight. Abram got a million kisses from Reese. The Baytons gave him a new Mr. Potato Head shirt!

Hello?
Abram knows what to do with the cell phone!

Abram v. lemon.

Swimming lessons! This was the 3rd week of lessons and Adrian was off work so he could come take photos. Abram hasn't cried once, although he isn't crazy about floating on his back. Today he finally kicked his feet on his own!




We hung out at Natalie and Jimmy's tonight. Abram was being a sweet little guy all evening. Here's Abram with Clark.

Tonight we were hanging out with the Jones family. Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so I will have to update this post with a photo when I get one from Jen. Mason and Abram were having a grand time chasing each other and sharing toys.

january 21, 2010


This is what happens when Abram holds his own bottle and isn't seriously hungry.

january 20, 2010


Got a little Captain in you, Abram?

Happy 10 month day!
