A Shout Out to Abigail's "Friends"

I think it's time that we introduce some of Abigail's "friends". In addition to the playmat, swing, mobile, and exersaucer, these things help entertain her throughout her day. This will also give you an insight as to how uncreative we are. Of course, I am married to the man that probably wouldn't mind naming a dog "Dog" or "Pup".

Chicken Bird. Yes, Chicken Bird. It is a wrist rattle, that now hangs from the bar on her chair. He has been her favorite from the beginning. When we first got it, somehow we couldn't decide if it was a chicken or just a bird, so hence the name "Chicken Bird".

Little Bunny Foo Foo. She does not like to hold it like she is supposed to, but laughs every time I use it to "bop her on the head".

Flower Girl. I know, original. She is a rattle, which again, is not used by her as a rattle, but instead when she is crying, you can shake it and she will stop. She used to like it when it was hanging from her chair as well. Flower Girl is slowly being phased out as one of her favorite toys.

Green Guy. He hangs from the center of her playmat, and she for some reason thinks he is hilarious. I think he looks scary. And much like Marvin the Martian, that alien guy that used to hang out with Bugs Bunny.

Leo the Lion. This little guy was in her stocking at my parents' house for Christmas. She loves him. She can fit the feet in her mouth, and they make a crinkling sound that she likes.

Baby keys - sorry, no creative name. Jill and Brian brought us these. They used to be Riley's and she LOVES them. Again, they can go in her mouth easily. That's all that counts these days. Also, if she is ever pitching a fit, we can shake these LOUD keys, and she just instantly stops. It's like she can't concentrate on pitching a hissy fit if any other noise is going on.

Buzz the bee. She can chew on him easily, and it has lots of textures.
