And...She rolled over!

Last night Abby did her first real "roll over!" She went from her stomach all the way over to her back.  Our baby is so big!  I will try to get a video of it tonight.

Trip to Michigan

On our trip to Michigan, we.....


Tried to get a good picture of the three girls:












Saw grandpa and grandma....


Met Bubba....





Got some cuddle time with nana...

Played with Daddy...

Dressed up for St. Patrick's Day:

Wore her first tutu...


Slept with mom and dad (I know...shame on us)




And...Grew out of all the newborn and some 0-3 month clothes...

(Yes...her belly is hanging out...)

and had a blow out diaper on Auntie Laurel...


All in all....Detroit is not so bad...Abby liked it there!


Some of our favorite memories from Michigan:
1. Baby Abigail goes "waaa, waaa, waaa"  (Sammi was a little upset when Abby cried...To calm Sam down, she would repeat "Baby Abigail goes waa, waa, waa")
2. Meeting Uncle Russ and Aunt Jen. They both had tears in their eyes when they saw Abby.
3. Meeting Bubba...he even crawled all the way to the back seat of the car to sit by Abby-Cakes
4. Wearing Melissa's awesome shamrock outfit for St. Patrick's Day
5. Doing and AMAZING job on the plane...Everyone around us commented on how good Abby was
6. Sam calling you Baby Abigail...Not Abby, not Abigail...Baby Abigail
7. Going to our first family birthday party
8. Watching Elli Bean look at Sam, she couldn't take her eyes off of her

A little bit of fame...

Melissa is amazing and she takes great pictures.  She is super humble and calls herself a "mama with an ebay camera" but she does incredible work!

A picture of Abby and I were one of her "ten on ten" pictures yesterday...and it was selected as one of Rebekah's favorites!

I feel like we are famous!

One Month Old

Wow, it is hard to believe that today baby Abby is one month old...It seems like just yesterday we got home with her.

Here are some things that we love about Abigail:
1. Nicknames: nugget, AbbyJale
2. She is doing a great job eating.  She is a super fast eater (must get that from her mama...who eats fast because she is a teacher and we only have about 7.2 minutes to eat lunch).  At night she nurses for about 10 minutes, falls asleep and wakes up about 3 hours later ready to do it again.  She does a great job going right back to bed and even lets me put her down in her bassinet when she isn't fully asleep yet.  Sometimes she just lays there awake.
3. She smiles at me right after she eats...It is adorable.
4. She has had two blow out diapers...One that got all over mommy....
5. She likes car rides and falls asleep whenever we get in the car.
6. She is 9 lbs 10 oz.
7. She graduated to a real pacifier..I love pacifiers and think they are adorable
8. She likes getting changed on her custom changing table
9. She does a great job drinking her strawberry milk twice a day (Her medicine makes the milk pink).
10.  She is growing out of newborn clothes :(
