The New Adventures of Abigail: Episode 1

...in which she eats puffs, claps for herself, shows off her infamous "mean face," and waves goodbye.

Ticklish!

We discovered Abigail is super-ticklish, just like her mommy! :o)

Abigail's New Friend

Abigail has a new friend. He is very special. Not only did he travel all the way from Belarus (in a package from Abigail's grandparents), but he was actually one of her daddy's childhood friends, too! :o)

Video Re-Post

Here is the video again, for those who don't have a Facebook and couldn't see it (such as the grandparents in Belarus)! :o)

Time to Flip!

I am a logophile, and I am quite unashamed to admit it. Words fascinate me. Riddles, anagrams, puns—these are a few of my favorite things. In light of this, it should not be surprising that, while experimenting with posting the video below from my new Flip camera, I looked up the word flip in a dictionary. Here are a few of the definitions I discovered (excerpted from Dictionary.com):

—verb (used with object)
1. to toss or put in motion with a sudden impulse
2. to move (something) suddenly or jerkily
3. Slang: to make (someone) insane, irrational, angry, or highly excited (usually followed by out)

—verb (used without object)
4. to move with a jerk or jerks
5. to turn over
6. Slang: to react to something in an excited, astonished, or delighted manner

Flip apparently derives from the Middle English word for snapping the fingers. Interesting, huh?

There is actually a point to all this. I think it's time to...well..."flip" over a new leaf, metaphorically speaking. This blog needs some attention—with all the other things (and people) vying for mine, I'm not sure how I'll manage to give it much, but I intend to try. I find it sad and ironic that a word-lover like myself should struggle to scrape together enough words to post on here more often than once a quarter!

Fortunately, I also like photography...and I happen to have a nice new digital SLR camera and a very photogenic little subject at home whose face I hope you have not tired of seeing just yet. Plus, with my new Flip camera, I can capture cute videos like the one below and easily upload them for your entertainment...in moderation, that is, so as to avoid flipping anyone out, so to speak. :) So, if you can put up with photos and videos a bit longer, I hope to get the words flowing soon.

In the meantime, Abigail has some "words" of her own to say (while she "flips" over her new Christmas presents)...

Mozart Baby

Abigail combines three of her favorite pastimes: sitting in her Bumbo seat, watching her Baby Mozart DVD, and eating her hands. :o)

(The acute observer may notice that the music heard in the video is not the Baby Mozart DVD. Taras decided to mute the DVD and play some 'real' Mozart on a CD instead. Abigail didn't seem to notice.) ;o)

Rock & Roll

Check out Abigail's new trick. She wasn't too happy about having to do it again for the camera!
