Crawling!

Our little Abigail is not so little anymore. She is officially crawling all over the place. Already had her hand in the dog water and is lifting herself up on the couch! Where did my baby go? Still no teeth though. I thought for sure she would have one by now. Ill take a video here soon and upload it for everyone to see.

These are pictures I just took this morning. I love this outfit! 

Um yea she fell asleep like this lol

Another First

We went to Cowans Gap over the weekend to visit my parents. Abby got her first feel of the sand! No, it's not real beach sand ( that will come next year ) but she was so intrigued by it. I was so thankful she didn't immediately try to put a handful in her mouth! We walked around the lake and had a great time. Next year, we will be taking a trip to the beach, hopefully, and she will get her first taste of salt water!

5 Months Today !

Today we mark the 5 months that Abby has blessed our lives. It's been awhile since I last updated and a lot has happened. She is sitting up on her own, rolling around, and tries really really hard to crawl. Pretty soon we will be able to start solids. We tried some sweet pureed carrots the other day and she wasn't quite ready yet. 

She is showing all the signs of teething but still no pearly whites. We are impatiently waiting :)

We finally found a place to call home in Greencastle. We hope to settle and move at the end of September. We are very excited to have more space to live and Abby will have her own bathroom!

Enjoy some pictures from the last month :)

Happy 4th

Abby turned 4 months on July 2nd. We had a great time celebrating at a friends house for the 4th of July. She obviously was the princess of the party. We think she might be teething. Any day now we should see a pearly white popping up. Lots of milestones lately too. She can now roll over and back with out a problem. We had to stop swaddling her because of this. SHe is chewing on everything! She talks and coos constantly. She is such a happy baby. Always smiling and very pleasant. She can almost hold her own bottle too. It's so cute.

Not much going on at the homestead. Trying to house hunt but not having much success. Abby has her 4mth appt. tomorrow so will see how much she weighs and how tall she is. She is a tall and slender baby!

Enjoy the pictures....

Blues Festival

Abby went to her first Blues Festival in Hagerstown this past weekend. She was a very good baby. I was impressed because of how crowded it was. It was a gorgeous day. We got really lucky. She also enjoyed her first swing ride! Still too small to fit but we put her in the swing anyways and grabbed some cute pictures to share. Enjoy!

Just playing around

I discovered Photobucket the other day. They have a great photo editing program for free. Who needs Photoshop anymore! 

3 months today!

We had a great weekend. Family, friends and sun. What more can you ask for? Abigail turned 3 months old today. She weighs now. She talks up a storm! Smiles all the time and is overall a GREAT baby! We are very blessed. She sleeps through the night and has been since she was 6 weeks old. She is getting better with the car rides and loves to take walks in the evening with mommy and daddy in the stroller.

We decided to try her Bumbo seat today while at grandpa's house. Her head is strong enough now to hold herself up while she is sitting in it. She loves it! She is so cute in it. Enjoy some pictures from today. Happy Memorial Day!

Finally caught a real smile on camera

My First Mother's Day

We had an awesome time at my mother's house who hosted a Mother's Day picnic for the family. Abigail gave me a lovely card that I will keep forever and daddy gave me some cash to do whatever I want with! I'm hitting the mall! The wind was awful so I didn't really get a good picture of the two of us. Better luck next time.

Random Pictures

Well, this is my last week with Abigail until I go back to work. I'm so sad, I don't even want to think about it. I had the opportunity to go back to Sprint, so that's what I'm doing. The health benefits, 401k and PTO time are things I just couldn't pass up. As much as I hate mean customers sometimes, the company is great to work for.

So our Internet connection is finally back up to speed so I can upload pictures now. Here are a few from the last week or so.

♥ 2 Months Already ♥

Abigail is going to be 2 months old on the 27th !!! I cannot believe it! It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home. Now our little girl is sleeping through the night ( most nights ) and she is starting to do really well with taking naps so I can get some work done. 

Looks like Ill be going back to work here soon. Most likely the first week in May. Marshall's grandmother will be watching her on the days we both work. 

Abby is starting to use her voice box a lot more. She coo's and screams when she gets excited. It's the cutest thing. She smiles when you greet her in the morning. She loves laying on her changing table. She will lay there and be content just staring at the walls and all her stuffed animals on the shelf. She is starting to turn her head when she hears my voice. I'm so proud of her. I'm having issues uploading pictures again, so Ill post more later. 

Easter cont...

Ok here are some more pics....

Me and Abby. The picture is blurry and it makes me sooooo mad!!

Abby's cousin AJ and his first Easter Egg Hunt walking around with mommy

 

Abby's First Easter

Ok, I must say I'm very upset at our camera. Their is a setting that was changed somehow and now almost all of our pictures are blurry. So, we didn't get that many Easter pictures that turned out good. Abby did great at Aunt Jo's house. She is still too young to go Easter egg hunting but next year she should be old enough. She took two good naps for us yesterday and slept pretty well through the night. Sometimes she wakes up for her night feeding and sometimes she doesn't. Haven't really figured out what makes her decision but oh well, I'm not complaining. 

So enjoy some photos below and in the meantime, I have to try and figure out my camera.....or buy a new one :)

This is at Aunt Jo's house while she opens her Easter gift from her Great Grandma

This was before we left the house. I tried to get a good picture of her in her Easter dress, but she can't hold herself up too well. The animals are Easter gifts from her grandparents. 

I will have to upload more later because Blogger is acting up now.....

1 Month Check Up

Our little girl has grown soooo much in the last month. She now weighs 9 lbs. 14 oz. ! That's 2 pounds she has gained since birth. Her health is great. Poor thing did not like her shot in her leg today. She screamed and I cried :( . But she is ok now, sleeping away. Speaking of sleep, she had been doing VERY well with sleeping through the night recently. I'm not getting my hopes up, but for the past 3 days she has been sleeping between 5-6 hours strait! And take 2 good naps during the day too. I love it! I finally have time to do homework and eat lunch. 

The Proofs Are In !

We FINALLY got the digital rights to Abigail's photos today. We have been waiting for almost two weeks! Below are the web files of the images we chose. I must brag though; the photographer loved the picture of Abby in the hat that she used it for her next promotional post card design that she hands out for advertisements. She also will be putting some of her pictures up in a doctor's office at Robinwood Medical Center, which happens to be Marshall's doctor for display with a few other babies. Maybe she's on her way to Hollywood...(we would never do that ). 

If you would like to get prints made of any of the images below DON'T copy these on the blog because they have her logo on them and the file is not print quality. All you have to do is email me ( bellawool@gmail.com ) and let me know which ones you would like and I will email you the print file that you can then take to Target, Walmart or where ever to have prints made in whatever size you want. There is a site which the photographer recommended to us to get prints made. It's called mpix.com. This is the site that she uses for her own prints. They are VERY reasonably priced. I suggest looking their first because you can just upload the image to their site and they will send the prints in the mail to you.
