Playing Catch up from May!

Super hot day at the park with Dad, Mom, Richard and John




This "piano" was the side of the play structure. It is really cool and made very clear, nice ringing notes when Abraham "played" it!

May 26th AJW's 1st pizza-55 weeks old
His half had chicken, cheese, sweet potato and a few small onions and tomatoes.

Our first trip to Build-A-Bear

Abraham received a bear as a gift from Aunt Jane, Uncle Scott and his cousins, Lucy & Kate. We named him Boulder.Here he is getting stuffed!

I think the Mr likes him!

Lunch on "The Square" after Farmer's Market


One of Collierville's bragging points is our cute square and gazebo, around the sides are yummy restaurants and soon a frozen yogurt place!! Abraham and I usually get some goodies at the Farmer's Market after workouts, then eat a picnic lunch in the shade of the square. He loves crawling and exploring. This day he was wearing a new b-day outfit from Aunt Michelle.

That night I made beets and special rolls wrapped in the beet greens. SO yummy!
Here's the recipe: Beet Leaves and Ground Beef

Enjoying his left over birthday balloons!

Fun Weekend With Grandma Kate & Grandpa Norm

On Saturday we went to the Zoo...
Jack and Abraham watching the chickens in the "Farm" area.

and later had some BBQ!

Then Grandma & Grandpa bought Abraham awesome sandals for his Birthday! They are called See Wees and are super cute! As much as we LOVE his tennies, they are just too hot for the Memphis Summer heat!

His soft spot has still not closed and this PM he woke from his nap with a dent from his crib slat across his head!

Jack's cousin Joel also joined us one weekend for a visit. We took him to BBQ fest downtown with the mistaken assumption that we'd be able to buy the BBQ! No such luck, I was a little miffed. We made the nest of it and walked around and checked out the view of 'Ol Muddy.

They really have some elaborate set-ups for their BBQ booths.

Abraham & Joel

He got this awesome wagon from his Lala & Papa and took another birthday gift, his super-cool new T-Rex from Kyle & Faye on a ride around the block. We named the T-Rex Tyrone.

We stopped to have a swing with the neighbor girls!

AJW's b-day balloon is bigger than he is!
Getting weighed in the bucket
At his 12 mo check up Abraham weighed 21.10 lbs and was 31.25 inches long. You can tell he loves the attention from the nurse.
