On the brink of toddler-dom

We found this trike at a garage sale this morning, but Abe's legs aren't long enough yet to reach the ground enough so he can propel himself forward. Instead, he's figured out how to do this with it:


And this photo is one of my recent favorites. These two girls come running down the street yelling for "Abey-baby" every time they see us outside. One day last week, we were inside eating dinner with our front door open, and they were standing in front of our house calling for Abe until one of their parents yelled for them to stop and leave us alone. Today they read this book to Abe and brought him a toy to play with, as our neighbor cat came over too from across the street to join in. We feel pretty lucky.
