Happy Thanksgiving!

Ok, it's a little late for happy Thanksgiving wishes, but I hope everyone had a nice holiday anyway! Abbey's first Thanksgiving was full of snow, which was a surprise for everyone!



You can't see from the picture, but she's actually wearing a dress from Mimi. She was a trooper the next day, as we went Christmas shopping. She stayed out all day with hardly a peep until it was time to go home. Shopping wasn't crowded at all, and a quiet baby was the whipped cream on the pumpkin pie! I won't say where we shopped, though...it's a very WELL kept secret that this particular part of town doesn't get crowded with post-Thanksgiving sales :)

The day after shopping was our annual Cookie Painting party at Aunt Joy's house. Abbey was a hit, although she was a little fussier than the shopping day. That's ok, though...there were plenty of people to rock her!

Surprise!

See how her onesie even has a cookie on it? Thanks, Mimi!

It was a busy weekend, but we had fun. Here's a sneak preview of the Christmas season to come...

Is everyone convinced that she's REALLY smiling now?? Unlike her Mommy, she seems to love Santa!

2 months old!

Abbey has hit the two month mark, and she's growing up so fast! She's sleeping in her crib now, and almost all the way through the night. She's awake MUCH more during the day now, which came as quite a shock at first. We didn't really know what to do with her, since she had been eating and sleeping (and you know...) most of the day! Today, though, we put her in her bouncy chair with the aquarium attachment, and she spent the afternoon yelling at the fish and trying to hit them. It was pretty cute!

This month has been pretty eventful, especially with Abbey's 8 week shots. She was a trooper, and surprisingly, so were Mom and I! The nurse who gave the shots, God love her, was blessedly quick, but not too quick that I didn't document the entire ordeal. I was so good, I even got a free flu shot out of the deal!

As usual, here are some highlights of this past month.

We hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!

The Long Awaited Update!

Hello! Abbey has had LOTS of firsts since we last updated. Of course, since Chris and I follow her around with the camera at all times, we caught it all! Here are the things she's been doing in her almost 7 weeks of life!

Abbey's first big smile that wasn't gas!

Next week, we go for her 8 week appointment where she gets her first vaccinations, although we're not very excited about that...more to come later!
