Abby started crawling the other day! I have been trying to get her to do it for the camera but she has been a little camera shy the last few days. My sister told me to bribe her with something, so I thought "If she is really Matt's and my daughter then there is only one thing.....STARBURST!"
When Matt gets home form work and I hand Abby off to him so I can finally get something done I usually find thenm in the living room like this. Can you tell who is in charge?
Last night some friends and I made tutu's for our little girls. This one is actully for a toddler but I just had to try it on!
She is not crawling yet but that doesn't mean she doesn't try! I think we're almost there!
Abby loves to stand. Some days I wonder if she will walk before she crawls!
My sister-in-law tagged me, not that others haven't, it's just that Abby is downstairs asleep on Matt so I finally have a few minutes to fill one of these out!

Since Abby's feet have been hanging over the end of her car seat and she is about 2 pounds away form the weight limit we decided it was time for a big girl car seat! She thinks she's pretty cool in it. I can't beleive she is that big!
Since it was friday night we thought we should get out of the house and have some fun. Since we only had about two hours until Abby's bedtime we deciced to just go on a picnic. There is this little penisula on base by the Harbor and we decided tonight it is one of our favorite places. You can see Downtown Honolulu with Diamond head in the background if you look to the east, straight out you will see the open ocean until it touches the bottom of the sky, and to the west the sun sets over the water. It was a gorgous place to sit and just relax.
After watching us eat in front of her Abby had peas and carrots for dinner. Mmmmmm
Saturday was "Free Museum Admission Day" so Matt, Abby and I took advantage of the "free" day and visited Queen Emma's Summer Palace and The Maritime Center. The other pictures are me and Abby in front of Aloha Tower and views from the widow walk at the Maritime Center. Camera's were not allowed inside the Palace so we only have the one from the outside but it was really neat.
We were all dressed for church and I thought we looked so nice we could take a family picture! Only problem was we didn't have anyone to take it for us, so this is the best we got!
Abby doing what she does best!
Matt likes to talk to Abby in Portuguese but she just looks at him funny. So he gets her lion and has him talk in Portuguese to her. Abby LOVES it! I just wish I could understand what he was saying, Abby seems to!
We can hardly believe our baby girl is six months old. It feels like we just brought her home from the hospitol yesterday. She is the best thing that has ever happened to us and we love having her in our family! "Bubba" you are the GREATEST!
For Abby's half birthday we had Lily over to play! Abby thought she was the coolest toy ever!
She also tried sweet potato's for her birthday diner. 
This picture is from Labor Day weekend but I love it, so I thought I would share it with you!
WOW! What a vacation! Abby and I returned home yesterday afternoon. I don't think Matt has ever been more excited to see us in his life. He came home two weeks earlier and was just about to die. Luckily Abby remembered who he was after a while. We loved visitng home (Utah) and seeing lots of family and friends. We can't wait to buy our plane tickets for next summer! Here our some fun photo's of our vacation! Enjoy!

Twiners! Can you tell who's who?
This is Abby and me modeling her fourth of July outfit. Abby had her four month check up Tuesday and these are the results: She weighed in at 16lbs 5oz and is 26 inches long, which puts her in the 95th percentile for both!
Abby's new favorite place!
We know Abby's a little young to really appreciate the zoo but Saturday was "Military Appreciation Day" at the Honolulu Zoo so we took her. Here are some pictures of our day. We had fun with our friends and Lily (Abby's new best friend of 2 weeks)came too. 
Abby's first pair of shoes! How could we pass up these?
Thats right, our baby is 3 months old! We even celebrated with cake and icecream, mainly because Matt and I wanted a reason to eat cake and icecream!
