the past two nights we went to some free outdoor music events. one at central market and the other at a park downtown. summer time is good for offering things like this and there is something about having a baby to take along that makes me want to go more. on wednesday we took abbey to the kimball art museum. entry to their permanent collection is free and abbey did great. she was mesmerized by the guards standing around. she seriously stared every single one down until they were out of her eye shot. there were also a few of the giant paintings (of people) that really caught her attention but overall-she's all about the people watching. yesterday morning we went for a walk in the park at 8:30am. i am loving having the option to spend so much time with her and take her on little outings. she's a little small now to really "get" what's going on but i think she enjoys the change of scenery every now and then. as much as it makes me sad to think about her growing up, i am looking forward to the toddler and preschool years when we can do more things like this together.
