Abel & Afton

Abel is 3 months old now. He's 13 pounds, close to 26 inches and still looks exactly like me. Abel constantly surprises me with his mellow personality. He's happy to chill anywhere, and that's exactly what he does...chill. Today I was at a food storage class and heard a baby fussing. It took me a few minutes to register that it was MY baby crying because Abel is usually happy and content wherever and whenever. He's trying to figure out how to grab onto things. He's mastered getting a hold of his blanket and shoving it in his mouth so far.

Patrick was laughing at a TV show yesterday and Abel, who was asleep on his chest, started laughing too. That made Patrick laugh again which made Abel laugh too. I finally caught it on video so will work on posting it on our family website this week. It's hilarious.


Afton is all about making you laugh (wonder where she got that from). Here are some funny things she has said recently:

A: where are we going?
M: Home to have dinner.
A: CHICKEN NUGGETS???!!!
M: No. Soup and bread.
A: chicken nugget soup?!!

We went to a park last week we haven't been to in a while and Afton's was so excited she said, "Mom this park is WICKED!" I'm still trying to figure out where she learned how to use that work like that.

Tonight she was doing some funny dancing and shouted "Check out my disco dancing Mom!"

Wicked awesome Afton.
