hello...so much has happened in the last 4 months..where to begin??
Little Abigail is 4 months old and I can't believe how amazing she is. I am so grateful every day to be her Mommy. Each day that passes I am more aware that it is flying by so fast!
Here's what we have been up to in the last month.....
Abby and I made our first trip by ourselves to College Station to have lunch with a good friend and her mom from Houston. That was fun and Abby did great in the car. Then we went down to Boerne (4hour trip) to visit family for a few days. Jerry was super busy at work so we took the opportunity to go visit mom in between her chemo treatments. The trip was great! Baby girl and I stopped in Austin to have lunch with a friend then got back on the road to finish our trip. The family was so amazing at how much Abby has grown.
She turned 4 months old on Valentine's Day. The very next day she went to get her 4 month shots. She had had a little sniffly nose and cough over the previous weekend so I was glad she already had a doctor's appointment set for the 15th. Up to that point she did not have a fever so we went ahead and did her shots. Doctor said she looked good and her cough was a very minor case of Bronchiitis. then.....it was time for the shots! That is a miserable experience for All involved. Poor baby! She cried all the way home and well into the next day. Over that same evening the fever kicked in.....Oh my! That was not fun because Jerry was out of town until the next day. Thank Goodness for Good Friends! I had a friend over for dinner and it turned into a team effort to hold crying baby. Thank goodness she was there to help. I might have just lost my mind. I felt so sorry for Abby! She is hardly ever fussy.....but over the next few days....Wow she was fussy. The fever was very minor and the doctor said to keep an eye on it. Jerry came home the next day to a very fussy little girl and an exhausted wife! Sweet baby only wanted her mommy which is sweet but daddy wanted to hold her too. What a week! Lots of prayers were said and a few tears were shed from the whole family. :) We are so thankful that she is ok now and back to her cheerful self. We missed her smile and laughter. God definitely gave us a sweet baby that has a good temperment so it was very different to see her so grouchy. Praise God she is better now.
Things she is up to now: laughing, talking and cooing, grabbing things......
it is so cool to see how much she is developing. She can grab her rattle and she is always holding our hands. Love that! Yesterday she got a hold of her hair and didn't know how to let go! So sad but cute at the same time. She can almost hold her bottle by herself which is amazing. She gets frustrated because she can grab her pacifier out of her mouth then gets mad because she pulled her pacifier out of her mouth. Too cute!
Push ups: She is doing better with tummy time and is able to push up more and move her head around better. Her legs are always moving and kicking. We are working on getting her arms to get a little stronger and push up better. No rollover yet but maybe next month. She is very close with her leg swing but her arms aren't quite ready to roll with her yet. Such a big girl!
Oh so many things to say.....but basically...she is so much fun! The Aggie game was fun because she was in awe of all the lights and the music. So many people stopped to admire her hair! That is fun to experience. She is beautiful in our eyes to and are so proud to be her parents.
Mommy time is great however I am really looking forward to nicer weather so we can get out more and go walking or go to the zoo. I am not a huge fan of cold weather so.......bring on the spring and summer. I found the cutiest sun hats for her too!
I better run.......gotta get dinner ready. Thanks for following our blog. We are so excited to share with all of you. WE are blessed.
Love,
jenny
