You may wonder....

why this blog is called "Hippy's Happenings".

Our daughter Abby was given one of the Ty baby stuffed animals when she was born. It is a pink and green hippo. When she got old enough to play with toys in her crib I put it in there. We noticed that she always seemed to sleep with it (or laying on top of it with her rear in the air...isn't it so cute when babies sleep like that!). Then we discovered that if she was fussy and we gave it to her she would calm down. And that was when the hippo became Abby's "lovey" or comfort item or whatever you want to call it. He was named Hippy and has been "part of the family" ever since. As Abby has gotten older we have noticed a vivid imaginiation where Hippy is concerned. For instance, Hippy goes to the doctor...a lot. And he goes to Dr. Wilbanks, who happens to be my Ob-Gyn (she heard a lot about him when her Aunt Becca and I were pregnant). Hippy also has a brother named Kevin and a cousin named Camit. And he got married in Flordia this summer (as did Rick's cousin Danielle, and she heard about the wedding when we were at the bridal shower). I could go on and on about Hippy....and I will in future posts!
