12 week old Abby!

Abigail is the cutest baby on the planet. Here are about 6 billion pictures of her first twelve weeks of life:


3 days old

So tiny on the Pack and Play changing table!

She loved to sleep with her arms out like this when we held her.

This daddy loves his girl

She went on her first walk at 8 days old. It was a short one because we were all terrified of her crying!

8 days old, starting to get some meat on those bones

Smiling in her sleep


Her first non-sponge bath!

Pumping away. I used to nurse her for 45 minutes, and then pump afterward in an effort to increase my milk supply. While I pumped Mason would feed her formula. It took a lot of time and I think all three of us are super glad we switched over to exclusively formula feeding!




Jenna came to visit after she was born and was SO WONDERFUL to have around. She made sure Abby stayed nice and cozy the whole time she was here.

Zombie arms

Tummy time with Dad

Cute feet

She loves to go on walks and sleep







Celebrating making it to 1 month old in her pink tutu!





Post-bath snuggles to warm her up

Desperately trying to get a few more minutes of sleep

Getting all dressed up for at home church (thanks, corona virus). Shauna made her this cute dress!

SHE LOVES BATH TIME

She wasn't too sure how she felt about her St. Patrick's Day outfit from Grandma

She likes to flare her nostrils when she's concentrating or talking


Soooo tired



Celebrating 6 weeks of life!








Two months old!


Stats from her 2 month well check.

We try to get her to look at herself in the mirror, but usually she just finds a light and looks at that instead.

Mason put her pants on.

She LOVES to be outside


Fast asleep

The happy family on Easter ;)



We took forever trying to figure out how to use this sling, and when we finally put her in there she HATED it and it was hilarious!

These pom poms we hung above her changing table might be her very favorite things in the entire world (aside from us and formula, of course).

Mason is a super awesome dad. He loves Abby so much!


Pre-sneeze.

Watching mom and dad eat supper

We love it when Mason can take breaks during the day and hang out with us.

Stylin'.


This carseat cover is her other favorite thing. She likes to play with it in her bed until she falls asleep.

She recently discovered her hands and she is constantly sucking on them. She gags herself often.

Perhaps there's some curl in her hair?

Most of her dresses are too short. She's a tall girl!


She is so beautiful!

She is getting so good during tummy time! We recently started using the boppy to make it a little more interesting. We have to watch her really closely or else she pushes herself off with her legs and face plants every 10 seconds!



Abby's tricks include:
  • Sticking her tongue out super long
  • Recognizing her bottle and her sucker and opening her mouth when she sees them
  • Rolling over (although she hasn't done that since she was about 7 weeks...)
  • Opening and closing her little fists
  • Holding her hands together in front of her
  • Kicking her legs like CRAZY
  • Falling asleep pretty well even though we don't rock her to sleep
  • Sleeping through the night. She slept NINE HOURS STRAIGHT last night!
Abby loves:
  • Mom and Dad
  • Eating
  • When we make silly faces at her
  • Bath time
  • Being outside
  • Airing out under her pom poms
  • Lights
  • Spreading her hands out as big as they can get while she eats (she has done that since she was born!)
Abby hates:
  • Getting put in her car seat
  • Changing clothes
  • Waiting to be fed once she decides she's hungry
  • Sitting in a stinky diaper for longer than like 2 seconds
We sure do love her. Having a baby is the greatest decision we ever made. She makes us so happy and we are so grateful she's ours!
