Hyatt Holiday Party

We got to enjoy the holiday festivities at a children’s party thrown by the Hyatt! It was so much fun and a great way to start celebrating this joyous time of year. We are looking forward to Abbie's first Christmas and the many that are to come with our own family traditions! Here are a few pictures from the party!

Rock'n and Roll'n

Abbie is trying her best to be on the move. She is a wiggly little worm when we try to change her... she wants to be on her belly. She is now able to get up to her hands and knees and she rocks back and forth. She tries her best to lurch forward but she falls. She move best by pushing herself backwards, when you put her down she will push herself across the room and then get stuck against something and become frustrated!





Kevin had the pleasure of feeding Abbie dinner one night and I think these pictures explain it all!

Back in VA

I know that it has been a long time since I last posted but we have been very busy in the Crabtree household. Kevin came to Ohio and picked Abbie and I up the week before Thanksgiving and we started celebrating Abbie's first Christmas with the Holiday parade in Lancaster.


We also cheered on the Ohio State Buckeyes during the big Michigan game!!




Once home Christmas came a little early for Abbie so that she could use her gift for awhile. She loves her ExerSaucer!!



We celebrated Thanksgiving with Nana, Grandad, Christa, Barry, Tyler, Alyssa, and Ayla. We really enjoyed getting to spend time with everyone! We all have so much to be thankful for this year (two new additions to our family)!




Abbie is doing so well. She is now rolling all over the place to get around. She now wants to be on the move, she gets to her hands and knees and rocking back and forth. Abbie is trying her hardest to drink out of a sippy cup and has even tried to drink out of a cup, with mommy's help, she ended up with more water on her then actually made it into her tummy. She can sit on her own now and play with toys. She is at such a fun age and is so happy; we are so blessed!

Happy Halloween!!!

Abbie had a fabulous first Halloween. She was a sweet little pumpkin. Mommy and Abbie passed out candy at Nana and Grandpa's house and visited Aunt Mary Katherine and Uncle Tim. Uncle Tim had his house all decked out for Halloween, it looked great!The Gran Nana had been asking to see her "Little Pumpkin" since she has been in the hospital... so we went to visit her the day after Halloween and Abbie was dressed in her costume. I hope you enjoy the pictures! Along with her first Halloween Abbie has started to do raspberries and growl here is video of Abbie making her new noises.

We are very busy in Ohio!

Abbie and Ilene have been in Ohio for almost three weeks and they have been very busy. We miss Daddy and all of our friends and family in Va but are having a good time with all of our family here in Ohio. Abbie has gotten to spend a lot of time with Grandpa who has been watching her so that mommy can study everyday. Before daddy left we went to the Fairfield Fair... here are some pictures!





Here is Abbie cheering for The Ohio State and working on sitting up all by herself!



Here is a picture of Mommy and Abbie before we went out to dinner.

Aunt Aubry and Uncle Tony sent Abbie her first Halloween card.


Just being cute!
