Time is really flying by!

Abby is now 3 1/2 months old! Wow! The past 3 1/2 months is pretty much a blur. Not quite as much of a blur as the first month or so (where I was getting VERY little sleep and pretty much existing on what little reserves I had). She is bringing so much joy to our lives! We've been blessed with a very happy and healthy little angel. She's a great sleeper and has been since birth. At one month, she was only getting up once during the night (around 3-3:30a). By 2 months, she'd sleep 9:30p-5:30a, get up and eat and then go back to sleep until 9-9:30a. Now, she goes to bed about 8:00p and wakes up anywhere from 6:30-8:00a. I am actually starting to feel like a well rested human being again. I don't think I've gotten this much sleep since before I got pregnant!

Here are some cute pics from the past 3 1/2 months:

Abby hates her socks as much as I do. Her little feet are always clammy and it makes me laugh because I have always had "hot" feet (and would prefer to wear flip flops all year if I could). I had her bundled up in her car seat while I was showering and she fell asleep. I went into my closet to get dressed and when I got back, this is what I found:



Her little socks were nicely laid out in front of her car seat and she was still fast asleep! The blanket was still perfectly in place. Not sure how she snuck those off!

Abby loved snuggling and playing with her cousin McCall when they came to visit in June. McCall kept her very entertained with puppet shows and storytime. Abby's eyes would just light up when McCall was around!




Here is Abby's first trip to Niagara Falls...she wasn't very impressed!



She started smiling about 7wks and here was the first big one I caught on camera...



Rian's first Father's Day was extra special this year because our good friends also had their first baby just 2 weeks before Abby. Rian and Brian got together with the kids and showed off their "colors"



I bought this hat for Rian for Father's Day because of an SNL skit we love with Will Ferrell. Rian is now "#1 Dad"...



Am I the only mom out there that loves to look at their little one in the video monitor? It cracks me up when she hasn't quite put herself to sleep yet at night and just stares into the monitor. I wonder how long it will be before she knows I'm at the other end?



Here's one of my favorite pics of Abby during a bath. On our trip to WA last month, she got used to just lying in the actual tub so she no longer uses the chair. She loves kicking her her feet and splashing around...looks like she will be a water baby just like her mommy!



Abby is up from her nap so I guess my blog updating is over. I will return when I can to post some pics from our trip to WA to visit friends and family last month!
