ABC's and Baby Bump update

Abigail has recently started singing! Although she's loved music for a long time, her "singing voice" has just emerged. She does most of her singing while rocking her baby and pretending to put her to bed. This video is a combo of the ABC song and Jesus Loves Me (both of which we sing at bedtime :).

Many people have said that I have recently "popped out." I agree. My belly button has also popped out already! Sometimes I worry how big I'll be at 9 months with this baby!

(Sidenote... I've completed 5 months and am now in my 6th month... so does that make me 5 or 6 months pregnant? I'm unclear!)

Happy Halloween

For Halloween this year, Abigail dressed as Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street, complete with homemade wand. I borrowed my friend Becky's basketball net pregnancy costume (baby girl was the basketball) and David assisted me as a basketball player (with an Afro). We had fun at El Segundo's Halloween Frolic where Abigail jumped in a bounce house and trick-or-treated at some shops along the way. Then we headed to my parents' house to do a little neighborhood trick-or-treating. Grandma even prepared special treats for Abby- a bag of blueberries (her favorite), stickers, and coins for her piggy bank (definitely her favorite treats of the day).

On Halloween morning, we trekked to the Zimmer children's museum in downtown LA with some friends for some kiddo fun. Abby had a blast pushing a shopping cart around, jumping in the ball pit, painting, and pretending in all sorts of fun "shops" and professions. Here's a few snapshots from the day...
