Well, Abby is growing like a weed! She is now 10 pounds and 9 weeks old. We have her passport and are planning a trip to see Grubby in Gitmo. (Hopefully next month!) We also hope to go see family in Tennessee (Great Grandma & Grandpa) and Virginia (Grandma & Pop and Michael) that we hope to go visit soon. Abby has changed so much in the last 2 weeks! She laughs and smiles a lot now, and is starting to play with toys. She has a favorite puppy that her Uncle Frankie in Diego Garcia sent to her. (He sings and teaches letters, numbers, body parts, and colors.) She is finally sleeping for 4 hour stretches so I am getting a little more sleep now! Abby liked the fireworks on the 4th of July. I was afraid she'd cry at the loud sounds, but she didn't seem to care. She liked the pretty colors in the sky.
Grubby is working lots of hours in Gitmo, and in his spare time is getting certified to scuba dive. He says there are shipwrecks and plane wrecks he can dive down and see.
