Back at work...

This is Abby on a "Smile Strike" because I'm back at work.
(Yeah right, this baby is all smiles whether she is with me or oscar the grouch)

I'm back at work this week. It's only 3 days a week, so the rational part of me knows that I shouldn't complain, but it's still really, really hard!! (Most of me is not rational, usually I want to whine like a 10 year old girl when I'm sad about something). So anyway, on my work days I really miss Abby (and Sammy too).

I should also say that I am really lucky not to be worried about Abby because she has been in excellent care thanks to my team of helpers. Thank you, THANK YOU, Mom/Meme, Auntie Kelsey and Uncle Pete, and Kate/Bubbe. I don't know what I would do without you guys!

The ABIGAIL Sweater

Charlie's office gave us this beautiful hand knitted sweater when Abby was born. It says ABIGAIL on the front and I remember when we got it, it was so big it seemed Abby would never fit into it. Well guess who is now big enough to rock the ABIGAIL sweater? Check her out. Very cute.

Chit Chat...

Look at Abby gabbing with her new toy. I've named this little hula dancing monkey Lola. I think she might be Abby's new best friend. Doesn't it look like they are gossiping about the other toys?

Go Team!

Check out Abby's new Husky gear! Abby's Bubbe found these at Marshall's... Thanks Kate, we love it!

Abby's 4 Month Stats...

Guess what?! I'm almost 4 months old!



She isn't officially 4 months old until the 13th I suppose, but nonetheless, we had our 4 month check up and I have to share!

Abby is just over 2 feet tall and in the 58th percentile for height. I have to admit, I thought she was looking a little tall for her age, but I guess she's pretty average so far. She really excels at head size though, edging out most other babies and joining the big heads in the 83 percentile. She's also a bit of a heavy weight in the 77th percentile for weight. We are very proud of our little Abby. Here's a run-down of other Abby facts:

* Definitely one of the smiliest, happiest babies I've ever met. She loves to smile at strangers and loved ones alike and often makes a contented sighing noise that is one of the most priceless things you can ever hope to hear. No laughing or giggling yet, but we're pretty consistently getting a "HA!" sound followed by a big open mouth expression of pure glee.
* Really strong legs, she LOVES to stand, and take steps while you are holding her and kick her legs like crazy when she's really happy.
* This girl loves her binky... and so do her mom and dad.
* Quite the mover and the shaker, can roll over both ways and can scoot, but really only does it if she loses her binky.

Abby can move...

As I was blogging Abby moved from the comfort of her little monkey mat gym to the corner of the mat completely away from the toys. She was very proud of herself and so am I!

Fashion Show!

Abby is getting her picture taken tomorrow at Yuen Lui (for all you local moms they are running a special, you get 1 8x10, 2 3x5s and a bunch of wallets for $29.95) so I had to go on a mini-shopping spree for a new picture perfect outfit. I promise that I will not go so far as to become one of those Toddlers and Tiaras moms (if you haven't ever watched this TLC show, good for you, but you may want to watch just a snippet to see how crazy these moms are) but I did have to get Abby to "try" each dress to see which one would be the best. She was all smiles during this process I think I may have a little beauty queen on my hands. Which one do you think she should wear? I think I'm going to go with the yellow one... something about pink and yellow is all summer to me.
