Abigail is almost five months

Abigail is now eating at least one meal of solid foods every day. She loves carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, and now is starting to eat bananas. She cracks me up because she wants to be a big girl so badly that she tries to feed herself and grabs the spoon. She has also begun laughing this real hard laugh and it is absolutely hilarious. Abigail loves peek-a-boo and is just such a wonderful baby. I feel so blessed to be her mom and to be able to stay home with her everyday!! She has a jumping seat and loves to bounce in it. Abbie will actually hold her feet up in the air so the bouncy seat continues bouncing. Hilarious. The other thing she has started doing is trying desperately to crawl and this means that she is doing 180 degree turns in her crib and skooching from one end to the other. Luckily she now takes a couple of one-three hour long naps per day and is sleeping atleast six hours at night, waking up to eat, and then sleeping another three to four hours!! Strangely I am more tired now that she sleeps than ever. Maybe I am just adjusting to sleeping again after not sleeping for eight months.

I love being a mom!!

Abigail is 4 months old!! Holy cow how time flies. She is doing wonderfully and growing in every way every day. She can now sit up almost by herself and loves to play in her jumping stand. She stands in it and then holds her feet up for like ten seconds so it just bounces up and down. All of a sudden she is grabbing at everything and she loves to talk all day long.

At her four month wellness check-up on Monday she weighed an amazing 15 lbs and 7 oz!! She was 24 inches long and doing great. The doctor even said she could begin eating solid food. So that night we put her in her little pink chair on the dining room table and fed her some sweet potato. Needless to say she did not love it and made the funniest faces. She would eat a bite from me and turn to look at Shawn and make this disgusted face. It was hilarious.

Shrek has become Abigail's dog and he goes and sleeps on her little pink sheep skin rug while she naps during the day. He sticks his nose between the slats on her crib and I swear if he could jump into her crib he would sleep with her. It is amazing and we are so grateful he loves her so much.
