The Fist

I think we're going to have a finger sucker. Right now, she tries to put her whole fist in her mouth, but I'm pretty sure once she's a little more coordinated, it's going to be all about the fingers!!

Wordless Wednesday - Spring Has Sprung

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from our little leprechaun!!

Abby or Abi?

OK, I need some advice. And I realize this probably should have been decided weeks ago since my daughter is already almost 7 weeks old, but then again, we didn't even have her middle name chosen until she was almost a week old!

So we are debating on the spelling of her nickname - Abby or Abi. Before she was born, Josh was spelling it Abi, but I have always spelled it Abby. My mother in law also spelled it Abi in a text message the other day, and it got me thinking. Since Abi is the beggining of her name - Abigail - and since Abigail is a pretty popular name and 98% of them spell it Abby, maybe we should spell it Abi. What do you think?

In other news, usually Abi (Abby??) wakes up every 3 to 4 hours at night to eat, but falls right back asleep after eating - actually she usually falls asleep during eating! But last night, I fell asleep holding her in the Lazy Boy at about 10:30, and neither of us woke up until about 4am!! I guess we were both exhausted - that's the longest she's ever slept without eating. I had leaked all over (sorry - TMI) but we both woke up so refreshed!

**UPDATE**
I think we'll go with Abbi - what do you think of that?

6 Weeks

I know I'll probably say this a million times, but I can't believe how fast time flies! It has been a great six weeks, but the last few days have been a bit rough. Especially yesterday evening. I think she cried for about 2 hours. I ended up going for a drive with her, and she fell asleep...until I got home, then she woke up and cried some more. I think she finally wore herself out, because she was good all night and she has been good today. Let's just hope that last night was a just one night and that it doesn't happen again!! But no matter what, I still love this little girl so much!

Wordless Wednesday - Tummy Time

Sunday Walk

We had a hard morning yesterday - actually Abby did - so Josh suggested that we take a Sunday afternoon drive up the canyon. And since it was so nice outside, we decided to go for a little walk up one of the trails. It was sooo nice to get out and get some fresh air - and I think Max was the most excited of all!! Abby slept in her stroller the whole time, but it was nice to take a little family walk.

It also made me realize just how wonderful it is to live in a place that is so full of beauty. Even though everything was dead because of the winter, and all of the snow was brown and melting, it is still so wonderful to look around and see the beauty and majesty of the mountains. I can't wait to take more walks once spring actually hits!
