something familiar
Abby was fascinated by this doll's pacifier. She compared it to hers, even tried it out, but, as happens often, ultimately moved on to other ventures. Like using the doll's head as a drum.
jam session
We've been considering piano lessons for Kate. Maybe a two for one deal would be appropriate.

Honey, have you seen our cookie sheet?
We broke out the cooking gear Saturday, and Abby, as expected, was into it.

backyard fun
While Abby enjoyed her swing today, Kate and I played Star Wars with water/laser guns, lightsaber noodles, the Millennium Falcon wading pool, and hours of imagination.

nine months old
Abby is nine months old today. As this shot suggests, it's not so easy getting the girl to sit still these days.

To share or not to share?
A mobile and inquisitive Abby recently discovered Kate's treasure of toys. Kate, understandably, wasn't as stoked as her little sister about the find. And so it begins.

Not quite nine months old, Abby is already working on the look. I'm in trouble.

The Iowa wooden park...
as it's known to Kate, is a favorite destination when visiting Papa Kelly. During our stay, Kate slept with Papa Kelly and thought it was very cool. Unfortunately, I didn't get a shot of the experience.

Uncle Francis and his posse
Uncle Fran took the young rock hounds geode hunting while in Iowa, and they loved it. Here, a little later, the paleontologists unwind with a good book.

Uncle David and Abby
Like her sister before her, Abby has found Uncle David to be wonderful.

reading to Graham
Kate enjoyed reading to Graham. And Graham loved being read to.
do-rags
Kate and Graham had so much fun together this weekend in Iowa. Here, the dynamic duo are sportin' do-rags for their trip to the park. Papa Kelly wore one as well.
