Abby's 2nd Cereal Experience...

We got a video of Abby eating last night but the video was SO long that I was not able to upload it to the blog. Tonight we made another video of Abby but this time a lot shorter...

Abby's First Taste of Cereal...

Saturday night was a BIG night for Miss Abby...she had her first taste of cereal and she did amazingly well!!

Here is a video of Abby's impression of her first meal...

Our little girl is changing and growing SO much. I can't believe that she is going to be 5 months on Tuesday.

Beach Day

On Thursday Abby had her first beach day! We, along with a few of our friends went to Centennial beach. Centennial Beach is a man made beach in the middle of downtown Naperville.Abby had a great time relaxing and kicking in the water with her friends...

A very happy Abby:

Abby has settled right into the beach vibe:

Father's Day and Chewy Turns 3!

This year marked Jim's first father's day! We had a very nice day of presents and a picnic. We stated out the day with a waffle breakfast and a few presents. Then we packed a picnic and headed to the Riverwalk...

After the picnic we walked around downtown Naperville and ended-up at Quigley's for an adult beverage...

We ended the night with home made pizza and a dvd. Happy father's day Jim! Thanks you for being such a FANTASTIC father to out little girl!!!

Our furry son, Chewy, turned 3 on Monday! I can't believe that he is 3 already. In honor of his birthday Billy gave him a bath...

Happy Birthday Chewy!!

Jim's Best Year EVER Continues....

Not only did the Pittsburgh Steelers win the superbowl this year but the Pittsburgh Penguins just one the Stanley Cup!

Jim has been waiting for 17 years for this to happen!

A Day with the Webers and Harry Potter

Jim, Abby, and I had a great time on Sunday with our friends Frank and Manuela.

First, we went over to Frank and Manuela's house for a fantastic breakfast!

After breakfast we all headed to the Science and Industry museum in Chicago. The main purpose of our visit was to go see the Harry Potter exhibit...But, as you can imagine this is a very popular exhibit and we had to loiter around the museum before we could get into the exhibit. While we were waiting for our time with Harry Potter we revisited the model train exhibit. We had seen this exhibit once before but we HAD to see it again. The fun thing about this particular model train exhibit is that the train not only goes through Chicago...

but Seattle too...

At the museum we also found Jim's next car...

and we got a new perspective on earth...

There were no cameras allowed into the Harry Potter exhibit but it was great. It was also partially interactive. The experience started with the sorting hat and then we also got to pull-up a mandrake and throw a quidditch quaffle. The rest of the exhibit was filled with props and costumes from the movies...I got to sit in Hagrid's chair.

After the museum we headed to Gordon Biersch for dinner. It was a great day!

Last weekend we also got Abby a new toy...

As you can see, she is a happy girl!

Playground Fun

We are lucky enough to have a very nice playground just a few blocks from us and now...Abby is old enough to start enjoying it.

I foresee many fun afternoons at the playground!
