First library card (librarian said credit card)

Applied for her first library card today in our new home town!!!!
Only requirement was for her to write her first and last name with a pen.  She's a pro at that!  Yay Abby!  And her first pick?  Nate the Great, which we already read for bedtime. Two others were my faces growing up... Amelia Bedelia. Remember "dress the turkey"?  Can't wait to read that with her tomorrow.  Though she will be starting K, I'm on the lookout for a summer reading program for her. I spied one starting in August at the library and hope she can join. 

A Chip off the old block...

Happy Birthday Grandma Nam!

We celebrated grandma's birthday a day early... Abby's first.

Our little "Boo"...

We celebrate 2 firsts today.
1. Abby's first pigtails. Last week, we were watching Monster Inc. on TV and I've been wanting to try. Her hair is finally long enough! YAY! She was scared of Sully, the blue monster, but seemed to be fine with Michael Lisowski (?) the one-eyed cyclops.
2. Mommy's first post on her new Mac Book Pro. Abby's Uncle Brian delivered it today! Hmmm.... not sure if it's me, but all the options I used to have on Blogger on the PC are now missing. Erica, any words of wisdom? I only have a font and upload icon.

Abby feeds herself...

First Uncle to take Abby swimming for the first time...

But, just for the record, Charisa was the first EVER to take Abby into a jacuzzi. The pool was only about 60 degrees that day so Abby's first pool experience was put on hold for now.

Picture taken on June 30th at the Falls View pool in Ellenville, NY (Well retreat OASIS 2007).

Abby's 1st ponytail...

Or rather, tails? This was taken about 30 minutes after I got home from work... before, Abby had FOUR ponytails!!! What is grandma doing to Abby? It was so warm today that she put a tail on top, both on the sides, and a dinky one in the back. When I first got home, she had the top and back tail which I immediately pulled off. AYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!

Tooth #1 and soon to be peeking #2...

Hi, Abby here!

Last week, Abby started standing all by herself against the wall. G-grandma & grandma has Abby doing all kinds of things while mommy & daddy are at work! ;)
She tried this out at the WELL yesterday and she got overwhelmed by the attention and began to cry.

Now she says "uhm-ma" which is Korean for mommy when she wants me to hold her. =)
She said "da-da" first, but not really referring to daddy.

8 months... 1st tooth on the way...

This past Sunday, I noticed that Abby's bottom right tooth had broken out through her gums... it explained the crankiness last week. She seems to be ok now... but gnawing at everything she can. Her tooth has definitely come out a lot more since Sunday. I'd say about 3 mm above her gums. Her 8 month check-up was this past Saturday and she weighed in at 20 lbs, 6 ozs and her head is now 18.3 cm (inches?) can't remember... if it's inches, I now see the reason for the doc's concern... hee hee. Actually, after letting my mom and grandmother know about the doc being concerned over Abby's rapid head growth, I came to find out that we have some BIG heads in our family.

First drumstick... 3.3.07

NOT! But you'd think so at the rate Abby's grandma (my mom) gets her started on new things!!! It's actually a toy drumstick from her stash of toy foods. =)

Go Nuggets!!!

Guess what Abby's daddy brought back from his trip to Denver?

First jean jacket to match the jersey... Thank you Aunt Crystal!

Not easy being me...

Happy Valentine's Day!!! 2.14.07

Abby's first Valentine's Day and her first scarf... another creation by great grandma (hat too).

Look ma, no hands! 2.8.07

Abby started her potty training today... thanks to grandma Chung who gets her started on most things pretty early!!! She did pee pee in the potty 3 times today! Talk about getting a head start! She doesn't seem to mind the potty too much.

Abby finds her shadow... 2.4.07

Abby made me smile as I sometimes forget that she's discovering things like this for the first time!

Abby's new hobby...12.20.06

Uncle Chris caught Abby reading...
