10 months

We are so sorry that this post is late! We have been busy this month. Abby is doing very well and growing so fast! She is about 23 lbs and her 18 month clothes are getting pretty tight! She loves to eat, walk in her walker, and take a bath. She is waving hello and good bye and claps all the time. She loves playing peak-a-boo!

She would not keep that sticker on!
This one was my favorite!
She loves to eat and is pretty good at using forks and spoons! She loves yogurt, Mac and cheese, and mandarin oranges.
She enjoyed watching Shark week with Daddy in her Shark PJs!
We had friends from Colorado come to visit and meet Abby for the first time!
And she went for a play date with a baby her own age. That baby’s Mom is going to watch Abby on day a week while Jennifer and Shawn work.
We also went for a quick visit to Nana and Papa’s (Jennifer’s Parents) Abby started cruising for the first time! She will be walking soon! She is such a big girl!

9 months

Abby is growing so fast! We went to the doctor yesterday and she weighs 22 lbs and 10 oz and is 30.5 inches long. She is in size 18 month clothes, size 3 shoe, and a size 4 diaper. She babbles all day long and thinks peak-a-boo is the funniest thing ever!

She can’t stand test but she can stay standing if you put her there.
Everyone who sees he says how beautiful her eyes are.
We had a fun Fourth of July!
Abby loves hot dogs (cut up in little pieces of course).
Jennifer’s parent’s came to visit for the weekend and we cooked out (hamburgers/hot dogs, etc).
Abby with Papa Mike.
She is not crawling yet but zooms all around the house in her walker.
She loves to swing!
And play in her ball pit!
Abby went to the zoo for the first time. We went with our friends so have a baby about Abby’s age.
It was good for the girls to interact with someone their own age. Above you can see they had a very important conversation about Pacifiers.
We also celebrated Shawn’s birthday last month.
And she got to wear her party dress.

8 months

Abby is 8 months old. She loves swinging in her outside swing and reading books. Her favorite foods are yogurt, mandarin oranges, and mozzarella cheese. She claps all the time and babbles non stop. She is about to grow out of her 12 month clothes and is now wearing a size 4 diaper. She has gotten 3 more teeth this month too!

It was hard to get her to lay down to take this picture. She wants to be sitting up!
She can’t stand on her own yet, but if you stand her up and put her hands on something she can stay standing. She is growing too fast!
She loves to swing!
She can drink water from a straw!
The dogs are ready to clean up any thing she drops!
We made her a ball pit!
She helps Mommy with the laundry.
And helps Mommy teach students online.
Those two side teeth came in first so she looked like a vampire for about a week! Now she has one of her front teeth too.
Bath time is her favorite time of day!
Family selfie!

Abby’s First Easter

We didn’t get to do our usual Easter traditions like church or lunch with Shawn’s parents but, we made the best of things.

The Easter Bunny left a basket for Abby.
And we read Easter Books.
She likes this book the best!
We made Easter Cards.
And put on her Easter dress for some pictures.

All in all it was a nice day. She also went to the doctor last week and weighs 19 lbs and 6 oz (91st percentile) She is 29 inches tall (off the chart tall). The doctor said she is developing normally and thriving!

Six Months Old

Abby was 6 months old on Saturday. It is hard to believe. She is growing up so fast! We don’t go to the doctor again for a couple weeks so I will post here height and weight then.

She can roll over now and is getting really strong. She still needs support to sit up but it won’t be long until she can do it on her own!
She is a great eater! Her favorites are prunes and pears. She doesn’t like peas, green beans, or peaches.
She loves being read to.
And playing with toys.
We put her bouncy chair outside and she loved that! She spent about an hour bouncing and looking at birds, squirrels, and the occasional chicken.
She has her first baby doll and I think they look like twins!
She had her first St. Patty’s day.
Of course we had more than one outfit!
She took sometime to smell the flowers.
She has two teeth! She likes to bite Mommy and thinks funny when she says ouch! 😂
We have finally gotten her room together.
Mommy made her name sign to hang over her crib.
She is also a good sleeper!

That’s all for now! We hope everyone is well and saying safe during this scary time!

5 months old

Abby was five months old on Wednesday! I can’t believe how much she has grown!

She likes to put her elbow on things when she sits up (like she is doing in this picture). She even does this in the bath!

She is eating baby food now and loves it!

And she likes to sit in her high chair and play.
She still loves her bouncy seat. She loves it so much she will bounce until she falls asleep!
Daddy took her fishing for the first time.
Mommy had to go to a conference for work and Abby came too (Nana came to watch Abby while Mommy was at the conference)!
It was her first hotel stay
And longest car ride.
She did great!
She is working on cutting her first tooth so everything goes into her mouth!

Four Months

Abby turned four months old on Tuesday!

Her 4 month check up is on Valentine’s Day so I will post her height and weight after that. I know that she is growing like a weed! She is almost out of 3-6 months clothes! The outfit in the picture is 6-9 month size.

She loves being wrapped in snuggly blankets, putting things in her mouth, and playing with her unicorn.

She is not a fan of tummy time but is very close to rolling over.

Despite our best efforts, she is a thumb sucker.

Abby is happiest first thing in the morning (she wakes up smiling and cooing) and afternoon her nightly bath. She sleeps 11-12 hours and night and take 2-3 naps during the day.

Also, our dog, Sadie, is still her protector and goes everywhere that Abby goes. They are going to be best buds!
