Abigail is 8 Months Old!



Abigail is now old enough to hold her own a bit more so we can put her in the shopping cart next to Daniel.  They love it and I just think they are adorable!  (So do all the olds who seem to like to shop at the same time we go - as my father says between 10:00 and 2:00 they are allowed out.)

I don't know Abby's stats - we'll have an appointment for her 9 month birthday, but I think she is doing okay.  Physically I think she is a bit of a peanut still - thin and tall.  She does have a bit of a chunk on her butt and thighs that Daniel never had and it is super adorable!  Abby loves my vegetable purees and has a nice orange hue to her skin tone that emphasizes her taste for carrots and sweet potatoes. Puffs are her favorite - the organic kale and spinach ones in particular, and for some reason we can't get her to eat fruit of any kind.  She has started to scoot/crawl backwards and rolls around to get where she wants to go.  She is napping fairly regularly twice a day, nurses 5-6 times a day, and is finally sleeping through the night regularly.  I know she is awake in the morning when I hear her music box playing and her little coos as she sings along.  I just wish I could package her up right now and remember everything about her at this age.  The way she tilts her head to the side and smiles, her laugh, her soft baby skin, how she is able to grab things seemingly out of reach, how happy she seems to be all of the time (although she is starting to get very mad if she doesn't get something she wants). . . We just love her!
