Fall!

Abbie, Nate, me, and our friends, John and Erin, went to a GORGEOUS apple/pumpkin/raspberry, etc. picking spot. Actually, there were several different spots. It was beautiful out. We had apples, made our own cider, and had cinnamon mini-doughnuts.... I threw out my caloric intake for the day. Abigail had a blast. She loved all the colors.

YUM!

Well, the biggest news on the homefront is that Munch had her first "real" food yesterday. We gave her a cracker. She will definitely need some more practice, as she had NO idea what to do with it. She made funny faces to say the least. She finally started sucking on it, and it got all nice and soggy. She ate about half of it. She likes to play with her food more than actually eating it. Other news: apparently she loves to surf the net... and we got her all decked out for the pool and went swimming. She kept trying to "grab" the water and bubbles. Fun. She will be 8 months this Thursday, which is extremely hard to believe. She is so much fun!!

BOWS!

Yes, it was invevitable...I've started making my own bows. Please pass the word alont to anyone that you know. They are $5.00 each, and I'm trying to sell some. That is a lot cheaper than what they go for in the baby boutiques!! Have anyone that's interested email me at shejen81@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Weird-o!

Abigail was having way too much fun making funny faces and noises this morning, it was HILARIOUS! She is the cutest thing ever. I also made the hair bow that is in her hair. I decided I'd give myself another hobby to dive in to, as if I didn't have anything else to do... Also, little peanut met her cousin Steph for the first time a couple nights ago. So much fun!

New Dress

Grandma JJ bought her a cute new pink dress. The pictures were so stinkin' cute, I couldn't resist posting a few...

Bored

Well, I'm just sittin' here. Another quiet night at the Merritt household. Abbie went to bed with no problems, and I'm just trying to keep my mind off of SCHOOL starting. Here are a few cute pics that a friend from school snapped when I stopped by my classroom yesterday. Cuteness.

Sitting!

Well, Abigail decided that she would learn how to balance today, and she sat up! Kinda... she was in the sitting position, and when she would fall forward, she would support herself with her hands, so she stayed in the sitting position. YEAY!! I was so proud.... also, at 61/2 months, she got her first hair cut. As you can see, mommy just trimmed her bangs straight across. The top part of her hair (her toupee as we call it) has grown sooo long, that is was starting to get in her eyes!! I think it looks soooo cute trimmed. She has a little loopy pony on top of her head! Love it!!!
