Abigail Flying

This isn't the best video- but Abigail loves this new Super Baby thing and was laughing hard...so I grabbed the camera to try and capture the laughing...

I love my job!

4 Months!

Below is how I usually find Abigail after a nap- happy and relaxed.  What a life, huh? 

Abigail and her 4 month picture :) Happy Baby!

Abigail Brag

And, somehow, we are at 14 weeks!

Well, I realize that I haven't blogged in quite awhile.  It is amazing how the days slip by- between eating, playing, rocking, sometimes a nap here and there and then starting all over 2 hours later....I don't find that I have that much free time on the computer.  When I do, honestly, I am usually on Pinterest!

I know everyone says it, but man is this baby growing up fast! We'll start at the present- look at what she figured out how to do today!

To give you an idea of the bigness of this deal, let me tell you what Abigail was doing during tummy time a day ago. Oh, right, NOTHING!  She sucked on her fist during tummy time. Or she would squirm until she found her fist.... but today! Out of the blue! Turned over! Crazy! And, yes, I made her flip over several times before I took this video.

She has also started with some intense squealing. It's impressive and I will work on getting a recording for your listening pleasure. 

For now, please enjoy a few pictures from the last month!

I can't figure out how to rotate the video :( sorry.  Still fun!

Six Week Letter to Abigail

Abigail,

I'm afraid if I don't write some of this down, I will too quickly forget.   You are six weeks old today.  Six weeks ago, it was a" marvelous night that you were born."  But, man oh man, how marvelous each day has been since then.

You are holding your head up on your own more- you still hate tummy time, but enjoy being carried around like an older baby.   This is so you can look around...you look at everything.  I am pretty sure you can see farther than what the books say (just 15 inches away? I don't think so) as you stare at the fan with definite delight.

A week ago you started sleeping in your crib.  Apparently, we should have moved you from the packnplay sooner.  Since being in your crib you have dropped a night feeding.  I love the extra sleep, but I also still love watching you stretch in the middle of the night.

A day and half ago you made your first non-gutteral sound. You ahhed out of the blue. Ever since then you aah and coo constantly.  I love even this most basic communication.

You have the happiest eyes.  You smile more often, and I can tell your "social smile" is just days away.  I'm about to pee in my pants in anticipation of it.

Your grip is changing.  You grab onto my necklace and my shirt with the kind of intensity that claims me as your Mama.  Thank you.

P.S. Your thighs are delicious.

It's Been Awhile and Much Has Happened

So, what do you guys want to hear about? Do you want the "birth story"? or mainly just pictures? or do you want me to brag about how awesome Abigail is...?

hmmm. think about it and let me know in the comments!
