Gymboree and First Haircut

Abby is now SIXTEEN months old!  I can't believe it.. Where has the time gone?

Anyways, I adore this age.  She is toddling and chatting and climbing and singing and playing in the toilet. Unfortunately, she really likes the toilet. Actually, I adore this age except for the whole toilet deal.  This morning she had the toilet brush.  Ewwww....

To satisfy her exploring and climbing gene, she attends Gymboree weekly.  Grandma and Pa thoughtfully signed her up for this class for her birthday knowing full well that climbing is in her blood.  After all, she is related to Uncle Brett!

However, Gymboree is a bit intimidating, especially with the new apparatus they are piloting.  So, Abby played it safe on her first day of class (three weeks ago).


She did a little climbing. 


Abby did A LOT of rocking. 




And she did a little jumping. 


In real time today Abby had her first hair cut.  She needed it, desperately.  I was hoping to grow out her bangs and hair for a cute little chin-length bob, but I caved.  Her hair was turning moppy and her bangs were constantly in her eyes. 


Before: shaggy, not cute hair. 





Abby was quite the trooper.  No tears and no fits. 





 Ella came for moral support. 




Viola! Pretty girl and now we can see her eyes.

Is This MY Daughter???

Ella is a go get 'em type of gal.  She is a good sleeper, but when she is awake, she is constantly on the go.  So I was a bit surprised yesterday when I saw her lie down on the floor. One can only assume that her first visit to GYMBOREE tired her out.

Evidence #1



Evidence #2


Plus, Missy Moo took a THREE hour nap! But who can blame her?  She ran, and climbed, and bounced, and danced, and clapped, and giggled, and crawled, and chased, and played with the parachute!  But, silly momma forgot her camera.  Next week, next week.
