Too much fun

This weekend was a blast. We played and played and played. For starters, we went to the little gym on Saturday morning. This has been well worth the money. For 45 minutes every Saturday you "work out" with your baby; anything from running, jumping, practicing forward rolls, walking on a balance beam, and hanging from uneven bars, these little babies go for a solid 45 minutes. Abby's favorite part of the class is when the instructor wakes the balls up and they get to play. The balls have been sleeping for the past week so it is the kids job to wake them. They do this by hitting the top of a huge tupperware bin. Once the class is over they get a stamp on their hands and a squirt of magic soap (hand sanitizer).

This is what Abby looked like after the first class.

I checked to make sure she was still breathing. I was a little concerned there for a second.

Here was the night after the first class. Again, I doubled checked to make sure she was ok.

Clearly it wears her completely out! Here are some pictures from this past Saturday.

After the Little Gym we had some friends over for hamburgers. Abby's "besties" as we like to call them; Giuliana, Jake and Abby all play so well together. It's really nice now that all of the babies are around the same age and mobile. For a while Abby was the oldest and the other babies were much calmer and easier to please. Now they can either walk, crawl, or sit-up which makes play time much more fun. Everyone went home about 9:30 and it was no problem getting Abby to sleep that night!

Sunday was just as much fun. Abby was outside ALL day; she played with her friends, Maggie and Thomas that live next door, her new hose and crab pool, ate popsicles, took a walk with Mommy and a jog with Daddy. Here are just a few of the many pictures we took.

Well, all of this fun must have worn her out because we ended up here:

In our bed and home from school with a 102 fever.

To here:

The Yukon Clinic waiting on Dr. Chidister.

To back home and on the coach with another fever.

It looks like along the way Abby caught a little fever virus- nothing too serious. We got a prescription for her terrible diaper rash and came home to the couch where she slept for about an hour. After some tylenol and a snack she was already on the mend. I'm sure by tomorrow she will be feeling much better. I guess all this fun wore her out!
