She's got us now

Everyday that passes Abby is smiling more and more. I find Nate and I doing just about anything to get one out of her. She melts my heart, makes me all sorts of warm and fuzzy. And I need something like that in this chilly, foggy weather. I'm glad it's her. She's even better than my fireplace.
I have dimples! The melt your heart they're so freakin cute kind!
It was Daddy getting these big smiles out of me!



Getting a bit chubby too.

2 months

Can you believe our sweet Abigail is already 2 months old? I can! Ha ha! Maybe because it's honestly been a rough couple of months, yet strangely, I wouldn't change it for the world. I love this girl. She's the love of my life (and her Daddy's too.) The 3 shots she was given in her chubby little thighs just about broke my heart. I'm so glad Nate skipped school to accompany me to this appointment! I'm not sure how I would have handled it on my own! Listen to me, spoken like a true wussy Mom. At 2 months Abby is:
-12 pounds 6 ounces 87th%, 22 3/4 inches long 66th%, head circum 39.6 73rd%
-sleeping at night for 6-8 hour stretches
-improving on nursing everyday
-smiling. Mostly for Daddy, she's a bit stingy with them still
-still LOVES to be swaddled and won't sleep or nap any other way
-enjoys taking baths with Mom (sorry for any of you out there that think this is gross-get over it! It's one of my favorite things to do)
-loves her swing, especially when it's close to the heat of the fireplace (relax, I'm real careful)
-Coos and Ca's. Especially in the morning. This is when she's the happiest
-still hates getting dressed/undressed
-focusing and following things with her baby blues
-jolts and looks around at loud noises
-loves her bassinet and the teddy mobile above it. Those little beady eyed bears make her smile every time, it's not fair!
-has her Mommy and Daddy wrapped around her little finger
Sometimes I find myself wishing the time away. Thinking I can't wait until Abby is....
I keep trying to remind myself that it won't be like this for long and to enjoy everything at this moment. I love my baby.

Trying to capture a smile
So cute! She doesn't know what's coming...

But I do. She was so happy even though we woke her up from her nap, stripped her down and laid her on a hard cold bed. Crazy baby.

With Daddy.

Go Whiteboy

This is a classic, you've probably seen it, but it never gets old!
