March 17th

Well I think we are turning a corner on sleeping at night. She is starting to sleep for 3 hours at a time!! We have started walking every morning which has made me feel so much better. Abby is usually asleep during our walk, so I get some good quiet time. Abby has been invited to join a playgroup on Tuesday morning's. She doesn't do much but stare, gurgle, and grunt. I am sure she will be a big hit at playgroup. Unfortunately Abby has not gotten better with the fussy episodes. I have nicknamed her " Queen Fussarella" She is the most stubborn child. On Wednesday and Thursday she was up from 11 in the morning to 9 at night crying about every 15 minutes. She will be almost asleep and then will her eyes back open and start screaming. The evening's are generally a fussy time everyday. She is cranky and hungry. She will eat about every hour until she goes to sleep. It can be very frustrating, but well worth the because she stops screaming when she is eating. She seems to be growing like a weed. Some of her 3-6mo clothes are already fitting. I am amazed at how many of her newborn clothes she can't wear anymore. All in all she is my sweet baby. I am so blessed to have this family! I look at Abby everyday and get a little teary at how lucky I am to have her in my life.
