Hanging Out

I Slept through the night

Abby slept through the night Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night!!!! She went to bed at 730 and woke up at 630. The first morning i woke up and ran down the hall to check on her hoping she was ok. I found her with her hanging out in her crib sucking her thumb. I looked in her crib and she just gave me a big smile with her thumb still in her mouth. She is just so cute I could eat her up.

I am 3 months old

Daddy and Abby

FINALLY!!! I got a breast pump this weekend so I could have a little freedom and daddy could bond more with Abby. Well i must say it is very interesting...I pretty much feel like a cow being milked. She will not take a bottle with formula, but finally took a bottle yesterday with breastmilk. I almost got teary watching them look at each other. She also looks like she has a mowhawk in this picture.

Abby has started sucking her thumb. It is the sweetest thing i have ever seen. She gets a little frustrated because she hasn't really figured it out yet. She started teething!!!! She has this little eruption cyst toward the back in between her eye tooth and molar. She was sticking her thumb in her mouth to put pressure back there and i guess found that is was easier to suck her thumb than her pacifier. She has been rather fussy as the tooth comes in. There is not much i can do because her mouth is to small and the tooth is in a weird place so the teething ring wont fit in her mouth. I have given her some tylenol to help with the pain, but mostly it has been up to her to help relieve the pressure with the thumb. I just cant believe she is growing up so fast.

taking a little nap.

Hanging out with daddy.

I went to the doctor today only to find out i have strep throat. I thought you couldn't get step throat if you don't have tonsills.....I guess I was wrong. I was like how am i supposed to take care of her when i feel so horrible. I had to get up twice last night to feed Abby and I couldn't swallow at all not even my own spit. I must say I was pretty miserable, but as soon as i saw my precious baby i forgot all about feeling sick. I went in to get Abby about 7 leaned over her crib and she gave me the biggest smile. She has been so sweet all morning even at the doctor there havn't been any tears. I am just so lucky to have Guy and Abby in my life! Every time I look at her she gives me this big smile and everything else goes away.

CONGRATS!!!

Brian and Courtney had their baby!! They are our good friends from DC. They had a baby girl named Gianna. She weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces and was 19 inches long. We are so excited for them. I can't wait for our girls to play together. Congrats Brian and Courtney! We miss you both.

visiting daddy at work

She took daddy lunch yesterday. She has drool all over her shirt.

I found my hand

She has discovered her left hand. She will sit there and stare at it.

Such a sweet happy baby

Our Anniversary

She is getting so big it is amazing.

This is a bad picture but it is the only one with the three of us.

We went to Carlyle lake for a picnic.

Guy got me these very pretty flowers for our anniversary. He is such a great husband. I am so lucky to be able to spend my life with him!

Saturday

We went down the street to a friends for a little get together on Saturday afternoon. Abby got a new outfit for the party. As you can see she is about to pass out she is so tired.

Our House

We did so much yard work over the last few weekends I wanted to show off our house.

We went to our 2 month doctor visit yesterday. she got her shots and made it very clear she did not appreciate them one bit. I gave her tylenol every six hours yesterday to prevent a fever and help with the sore legs. I was really expecting her to be crabby, but she was a very sweet girl all afternoon. She laid in mey lap and held my hand while she took a really good nap. Abby weighed 12lb 6 oz and her height was 22 inches. She is in the 90th % on weight and the 75% on height. She is meeting her developmental milestones so far. Our doctor wasn't there so we had to meet with a nurse practitioner. He came into the room and didn't even introduce himself....needless to say it went downhill from there. I am not really sure if he went to nursing school. He did the worst assessment i have ever seen. I would go on and on but i won't bore you. I got home and wrote a very detailed letter about our visit to his boss. NOBODY MESSES WITH MOMMA!!! Guy and I know she is just fine, so we are not going to go in for another visit. She started interacting with us about two weeks ago. She will smile and chirp and make all these new faces. It really is so much fun to play with her! She has started developing a good schedule. She gets a bath, massage, about 45 minutes of rocking and reading a book then she goes down about 7. She still gets crabby when she is tired, but who isn't. We started calling her C.A.(crabby abby). Her usual nickname is peanut which she giggles to when i say it. All in all we are doing great. I can't wait to come to Jackson in June. I really miss everybody!

Easter Weekend

She could only sit up by herself for a second and then slowly fell over to the side.
She is my little peanut.
Abby was a trooper getting the sweater on Guy's mom gave her for easter. It was about 90 degrees and there were a couple of screams while I got her arms in the sleeves, but she hung in there for the pictures. I had to make ridiculous faces at her to get her to smile.
getting a little tired of the photo shoot.


I got this cute dress for her for the summer. She is playing with her lamb that her grandma gave her for easter.

I put Abby in the boppy while I am in the shower.

GOING ON A STROLL

FUN IN THE TUB

I don't think she will appreciate this naked picture when she is a teenager.
