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!

No photo today - bad mommy.

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.

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.

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

Got a little Captain in you, Abram?

Happy 10 month day!





















































Daddy and Abram self-photo. So cute.

Doesn't look like it, but he loves pickles.

Abram on his way up the stairs:

Lazy or clever?

Abram has never been any good at tilting his bottle up to drink. See his new strategy?

Making silly faces

tonight.

Abram in his new jammies - notice the cute greyhounds.

Adrian was helping Abram throw the beach ball, and Abram was really getting a kick out of it. His little giggle doesn't sound like a baby laugh anymore.

january 14, 2010

I had a meeting until 6:30 today, and Abram was all kinds of crabby when I got home. No time for a photo today :0(

january 13, 2010

I am a lucky mommy - Abram just loves to share with me. Here he is trying to give me, yep, CRINKLED PAPER! Is that better or worse than when he feeds me cheerios from his slobbery fingers?

january 12, 2010

Abram is so close to walking and is getting more confident. He can stand up from sitting without holding on, will let go of one toy and walk a few steps then lunge and grab onto another, or full out sprint and dive into a couch cushion.

Abram is incredibly smart and silly at the same time. He knows where the letter blocks are for his ride along train, but he insists on laying across the the train and peeking down into the container of blocks rather than just grabbing them out from the side. What a goof!

Abram has been a crabby boy today. He has been crying (hence the snotty nose you need to ignore). Poor guy is in pain from teething. Here's the gruesome culprit:

january 9, 2010

Abram is headed for the dog bowls (his current obsession). He is wearing his new overalls, aren't they cute?

Sharing Cheerios with Hawk.

The pic is a bit blurry, but I love the look on Abram's face and Adrian looking at him in the background. This is making me think that I may want to invest in a digital SLR. On the other hand, I'm afraid I'd never put in the time and effort it takes to learn to take better photos. Hmmmm...

january 6, 2010

He just looks so smug when he is standing on his own!

january 5, 2010

Report cards are due, so time for photography is limited. Abram was very glad I took the time to clean out expired coupons. He was swimming in piles of old ads like it was a million dollars!

january 4, 2010

Not exactly photography at its best, but it is hard to get a good picture of an excited little boy with his annoyed dog!

january 3, 2010

Abram's first "cookie" is a teething biscuit. The mess on his face proves he enjoys it.

january 2, 2010

Abram loves bathtime!

Getting a late start

I didn't see the idea for this 365 day project until today, but I took a few bathtime pictures of Abram yesterday anyway. We will just have to pretend I have a photo for Day 1.

Edited: Here's an appropriate one, not taken on the right day, though.
