Little Fish

We took Abby swimming today and will post pictures in a little bit. They're on the camera right now, so that means I have to get them off of the camera, and that's a lot of work! She wasn't too sure about it, and I don't blame her, because the pool was so hot it felt like a bath tub...ewww. We got kicked out a little later, because a maintenance man by to test the water and said it was not good for us to be swimming in it :(

On the brighter side, we were changing Abby to get ready to go swimming and she escaped as soon as we had her diaper off. We decided to let her be free in her birthday suit for a few minutes and found her peeing next to the cabinet, ha ha! It was a good laugh.

Food Fight

We celebrated my birthday and my wonderful friend Melissa babysat Abby for us! When we got home, Mel told us that Abby wasn't really too interested in eating, and instead wanted to throw her dinner at Mel! Ahhhh! She had dinner spots all over her, te he he. Life is always an adventure :)

Long Long Time

It's been a while since we've updated Abby's blog, but we'll try and be a little more on top of things now. Abby now has two teeth and is teething again. It seems like she's always teething! Abby has discovered the toilet bowl...oh boy! As I type, I can hear my Mat saying, "no, I'm using the toilet, you don't need to stick your hands in it" ha ha!

Abby got to finally meet my best friends Sarah and Julianne. That was lots of fun! Abby loves all of our pets, but they're not too sure of her, actually they don't really like her at all. They run when they see her coming.

Abby's favorite thing to wear is nothing. She always tries to crawl away when she's having her diaper changed, even when she's on the changing table. She also tries to crawl out of the shopping cart when she's strapped in. Speaking of crawling, she is crawling now, if you hadn't already figured that out and is pulling herself up on everything. Today she figured out how to open the sliding glass door. Lookout world, here comes baby!

Food is the new love of Abby's life. She will eat just about anything we give her, and gets very excited when it's time to eat, whoopie! This makes me happy, because apparently I didn't like to eat when I was younger, don't know what happened there :) Mat is still looking for a job, so please keep us in your prayers!

Sleepy Baby

Abigail slept through the night, all the way, for the first time on the eve of her 4 month birthday! Yaaaaaay! She went from 8:30 p.m. to 6 a.m., ate for 20 minutes, then fell back asleep until 8 a.m. She is 4 months old today and has her 4 month appointment on Wednesday. Our little baby is growing up so fast...but I definitely don't mind getting more sleep.

She has also started noticing the pets. She especially likes skeeter, who is a calico. Whenever she comes around Abby, she can't take her eyes off the cat and starts talking to her in her whisper voice, or growling, as some like to call it. Abby also likes the way the kitty fur feels, but we've had to not allow her to touch them anymore, because she likes them so much now that she likes to take some of their fur with her when she's done.

Hair loss...at such a young age

Poor Abby! She's loosing her beautiful auburn hair! It's falling out on the sides and beginning to look more and more like a mohawk. I guess she's trying to look like uncle Danny :)

I want some food too!

Last weekend Mat and I went to Santa Barbara for a Youth Pastor's retreat. We went out to dinner, and my food was served on one of those little red and white checkered papers on top of my plate. At one point, I had Abby sitting on my lap and she grabbed the paper and yanked the food all over us and onto the floor, Ahhhhh! Luckily I was almost done eating and it was one of those places where they give peanuts to eat and let you throw the shells on the floor.

We stayed in a hotel with the three of us, and when Abby woke up Friday morning her eye was very red and swollen on the outside and red and weepy on the inside. We prayed for her and several hours later it was almost all gone, except for one little red spot. The next morning, the yucky eye was back and Mat prayed for her again and it got better immediately! Yay God!!!! We were really excited not just for Abby, but to also see God work.

Laughing...Te he he

Yesterday Abby laughed for the first time and Mat and I both got to hear it! Our friend Linda was even there to witness it :) I was tickling her chin and out popped a laugh! Other fun things that Abby has learned to do lately: use a whisper voice, hold her hands together, and practically shove her whole fist in her mouth. Ok, maybe not her whole fist, but she is always sucking on her fingers and drooling everywhere. People say she's teething, but we haven't seen any pearly whites pop up yet.

She still hates tummy time, I keep telling her that she needs to do it to learn to crawl, but she won't listen...silly baby. When we were in Oregon, Abby got to go to the beach for the first time and even stick her toes in, fun, fun, fun! We have lots of new pics., just need to find the time to post them. They should be up soon.
