Fun With Chelsey

Chelsey's parents went out for the night and we got to watch Chelsey...We played games and then ate dinner.  Here is Chelsey eating her favorite thing at the Nelson's house....APPLES!!!  She asks for them every time she's here!  Yummy!

Chelsey was so cute when she thought she was done with dinner...She was doing the "I'm all done dance" with her arms...When the camera was on her...she sorta stopped...but it's still cute!

(Notice that all the apples are gone...but she is still left with chicken nuggets and crackers!)

After dinner it was bath time!  Abbie was super excited to share her "tub time" with Chelsey...It's always more fun to have someone to play with!  Chelsey was reluctant at first...but had a great time!

 Happy Abbie!

Happy Chelsey...Goofy Face Abbie!

We had a great time with Chelsey...Bryan and Brenda...You can leave her here ANY time!

She's Swinging

Now that Aimee is sitting up so well, we put her in the swings at the park...and she LOVED it! I have a feeling she will be a daredevil just like her big sissy! Here are her first 2 times in a park swing...Her smile just couldn't get any bigger!

Happy girl!

Just peekin' over...

I liked this picture because you can see the size difference...they just grow way too fast...I remember, like it was yesterday, when Abbie was this little!

Little beauty!

Big Sissy loves the swing too!

The Map

We were getting ready to go and have lunch with Mike at his work. I was strapping Aimee into her carseat and Abbie went out onto the balcony to wait for me. She has sidewalk chalk out there and I could hear her drawing. When I came out...this is what I found...(explanation below)...

On the left is "Daddy" with a tuff of hair on top of his head (he only wishes...LOL)! in the middle is the long road we go on to get to Daddy's work (the 405 freeway) and the last circle is Daddy's work.

Abbie went on to tell me this was the map we needed to get to Daddy's work. Daddy was first to show us the way. Then we go on the long road and third we get to Daddy's work...Somehow, I think she might be watching too much Dora the Explorer!!!

Aimee Figures Out "The Straw"

We went to McDonald's the other day and I was giving Aimee small bits of my hamburger bun and pieces of french fry. I figured she was getting thirsty, so I was trying to do the "finger over the straw" thing with Abbie's apple juice. Well, the straw is so tiny that she was hardly getting any juice and was grunting for more. I decided to see what she would do if I put the straw in her mouth...and lo and behold, she sucked that juice right up. She was so proud of herself. She just kept wanting more and more. It was super cute to see her try and hold the straw. Big girl!

Don't bug me Ma...This tastes good!

Holding the straw to her mouth...she actually had pretty good coordination considering she's never had a bottle!

Curly Hair

Ok, ok...so it's been forever since I've posted...I'm feeling very overwhelmed with the amount I have to blog about...so, I've made it my plan to stay up with current pictures and then do back logged pictures as I have time.

Here is Miss Abbie with her curly hair after the pink rollers. It was hard to get a good picture because she LOVED the curls so much, she kept bouncing around and not letting me get a good shot. But you get the idea! I learned some good tricks, now that I have done it once...so I anticipate that the next time I put rollers in her hair, it will turn out even better!
