She is definitely starting to assert herself more these days...when she's bored/tired/hungry, she lets you know! And she likes being in the standing or sitting position the best:
Mr. Mom taking the kids for a walk since we had such pretty weather this weekend. And yes, he is carrying a coffee mug. Forever a nerd.
Love those bright blue eyes!
We tried out the jumpster/doorway swing this week and it was a hit! Nate started playing in it around 15 wks, so we figured Abby would like it too. Well, she did like it but she looked waaaay smaller in it! Her feet were 3 inches off the floor! So she doesn't "jump" so much as just "hang" in it. But hey, she loves it and it keeps her from fussing! Here is Nate at 15 wks in the jumpster:
And then here is Miss Priss....it's hard to tell, but seriously, her feet aren't even close to the ground. And her head is barely above the tray!
I definitely bragged on Abby too soon....for the past 2 wks, she has had pretty awful naps. I'm talking 20-40 minutes max. Thank goodness she still sleeps well at night, but really, I just can't figure out what her deal is and it's frustrating!
Funny story: I joined a gym about a month ago, and go every M/W after I drop off Nate at school. Abby stays in the gym "nursery" and all the workers love her b/c they don't usually get a ton of babies...just toddlers and up. I always give them instructions (big surprise) when I drop Abby off: "Please wake her at 10 and give her a bottle, then keep her awake after that." One of the ladies laughed at me the other day when I did this. She said "Oh yes, we know about Miss Abby." Then she proceeded to tell me that I was the only "Schedule Mom" they have. That's what they call me! Schedule Mom! I thought it was hilarious. And the lady wasn't being rude, she was just letting me know. Oh well....that's how I am and I don't know any other way to be!! :) I'm just glad she's doing well in the nursery and it gives me a nice 2 hr break from both kids. Not to mention that I'm loving working out with my new trainer! Not loving the diet she has me on, but hey, I've got to get rid of this baby belly (x2) that I have!

Lots of new outfits - FUN and super cute as alway!
oh! I have something you might want to borrow to keep Abby entertained. It is a bouncer (like the vibrating chair things) but slides up and down as they kick the bottom. They sit a a kind of incline. I have a picture on my blog somwhere of Colin using it. She might be a little short just yet, but let me know and you are welcome to it as long as you can keep Abby entertained with it!
Man, she is growing, but it's funny to see how much littler she is than Nate at that age.
And the fact you are "schedule mom" makes me so proud of you! Way to go!!!!! :)
We learned our lesson with our boys - being a "Schedule Mom" is the best way to keep your sanity! No apologies!
cute, love puma gear!! i also love the sibling comparison - before i read it i thought "oh abby got a tan" b/c i guess she's a bit more fair than nate was. hehe.
I agree she's growing too fast!!
We need to get together soon....at least before she's walking!! just kidding!
Ok first... the picture of Nate in the jumper at 15 wks .. PRECIOUS.. makes me so sad I didnt really know him then :(
I am so loving Abby's Puma outfit.. so cute!
Bahahahahahah... that is hysterical about the gym!!! Was it Brenda?
What a fashion show! She looks good in everything. I love the comparison to Nate. she definitely is smaller but the way she eats she may surpass him.
How stinky cute...love the puma girl. i will let her borrow my orange kicks!
Way to go schedule mom! (On the gym and the schedule!) BTW, thanks for the email we're figuring it out! It looks like Abby wants to sit up SOON - have fun with that :)
