Dear Abigail, Roadside Assistance
Always keep a pair of grungy clothes in the car. That way if you have car troubles on your way out clubbn’ with the girls, you can change out of your whatever outfit and into the grungy things. This serves two purposes. First if it’s something you can fix, you won’t get your whatever outfit […]
Busy Weekend
Abigail’s rolling quite easily now, but she’s so fast I haven’t been able to get a movie of it. She’s even more comfortable on her belly. When she first started rolling, she’d get on her belly and kind of scream. Now she just hangs out looking around and wiggling her knees. I’ve been told she […]
