Big stuff


Lots of big stuff this week....smiles, snow, rolling over, and Abby hit the 12 week mark!!

She is getting to be quite the sleeper....loves her crib for naps, as long as she has her hat on and her sound machine on. She likes the "heartbeat" setting...kinda creepy, but I think it comforts her (b/c it resembles the womb). And it blocks out any fussing by Big Brother! :) She is still doing well at night too... wakes up like clockwork btw 4:30-5 am, but just grunts/fusses and goes back to sleep till 6:30 am when we start our day. That is early for me, but I am slowly getting used to it. I am just grateful she is such a good sleeper!

She also rolled over for the first time this week! From her tummy to her back. Of course, she hasn't done it since, and poor Greg is dying to see it! She is super strong though, and can hold up her head like a champ.


We also broke out the Bumbo seat this week...and Abby loves it! We didn't have one of these with Nate, but so many of my friends loved them that we had to try it this time around. She is still a little small, and doesn't fit perfectly in the Bumbo, but I think she enjoys sitting up and getting a different view of the world. Her favorite thing to watch: her Big Brother :)



And I know this is going to make me sound crazy, but I swear this girl can smile on command!! Every time I ask her to smile, she does! So we had a lot of photo shoots this week :)


Here is her Leapfrog Caterpillar pal. She loves when he sings to her!


Big Brother Nate, cheesin' as usual


My two favorite hoodlums
