August 2005 - Visiting Nana D in Alaska

My sweet Abi! I enjoyed her visit in August 05 so much! I can't wait til she gets to come back again!

Wee.....mud...dirt....play....down! 

It's only muddy feet, not poo! Hold me close Mom! You know you love me! 

If you won't let me fish, I'll play in the sand on the beach! 

I'm having such a great time! Let's eat this! After all, I love putting stuff in my mouth and tasting it! Yummy.... 

Wait a minute! What was I thinking? Who said "Let her do it. She won't do it again?" Why didn't someone stop me? MOM! 

gagagagagagag! 

Should I swallow it or spit it out? YUCK! 

Maybe dirt isn't all it's cut out to be! 

Learning to crawl on the beach of the Salcha River in Alaska! I bet none of her friends can lay claim to that fact! 

Abi loves any reason to laugh. Here she's probably laughing at me, her silly Nana D! 

Where's my clothes? 

Where are we this time? (on the Riverboat Discovery) 

Don't I look pretty! You know you love me! 

Mom & daughter 

Uncle Jon and Abi! What a cute pair! 

It's hard to stay in this tricky chair! 

She really wants that cottage fry! It looks like Mom is gonna beat her to it! 

Weeeeeeeee......!!!! 

I love snuggling Abi. Notice her Dad in the mirror. He's making sure I don't hide her before they leave! 

I don't want to let her go! Stay with me forever! 

I had so much fun playing with Abi while she was visiting....I love her sooooo much! 

ABI'S BLOG BEGINS

I can't believe I'm a grandma, but I'm so happy to have Abi as my granddaughter! I hope to see her this summer. I know she'll remember me. After all, there's not anyone else around quite as loud as me so when she sees me again, she'll just wonder where I've been for the past 4-5 months!

Sweet little angel in her daddy's lap! I bet Dad is tired, too, since he probably just got in from work. Nite, Nite! 

Okay, so she hasn't perfected the style of eating from a spoon yet! Give her time! She'll get it right.
