After Abby woke up from her marathon of sleep we went down to Michigan Avenue to eat breakfast. It took us forever to get Abby out the door. Here she is sassing her Mom and Dad and refusing to wear pants and a diaper.
We found a small little cafe and she chowed down on a blueberry muffin and a red pepper quiche- quite the combo. She was in the best mood, and entertained the other people eating by walking up to their table and yelling, "hi," followed with a,"bye." She thought she was something else!
Pucker up, Abby.
After breakfast we found a park with a swing set and let Abby play. She loved it!
Abby and her Daddy
Getting so big
After the playground we went to the American Girl Doll and let Abby pick out a Bitty Baby. I wanted to wait and get her a big American Girl Doll when she is old enough to pick out the one she wants, and is old enough to understand what the doll is all about. When we handed her the Bitty Baby she started to clap, squeal, and put the doll in her mouth to give her a "kiss." It was adorable. I hate that we did not get the initial reaction on video or in a picture because it was priceless. Once the novelty wore off, she tossed the new doll on the floor, ran over to the racks of American Girl Doll t-shirts and started to play with the hangers.
Leaving her baby on the floor-

From here we went back to the hotel so that Abby could take a nap. When she woke up we headed to the Children's Museum and the Navy Pier. We never made it to the museum because Abby was distracted by the fountain! The fountain was so cool and squirted water probably 10 feet into the air. We were not prepared for her to get soaking wet, but if you could have seen how much fun she was having it was impossible to take her away from the water.
"Hold this Daddy. I need to go play."
Getting closer and closer to the water.
There she goes...
Soaking wet, but loving every minute! My favorite picture of them all. She had so much fun!
In her diaper playing with all the big kids! They would laugh about the baby in the diaper!
Eating a hot dog wearing a onesie we bought from one of the stores.
Back at the hotel playing with her Bitty Baby.
Time to go to bed!
Day 3 to come later...
