Changes

The past month has been a whirlwind for us. Right after New Years, Abby started crawling. . . EVERYWHERE. She hasn't really stopped since she started. She is pulling up and cruising around the living room like a pro. As if that weren't enough, we have also welcomed 4 new teeth. (All on top.) With all of this happening at once, it's no wonder she has only recently started sleeping all night again. All of these new developments are exciting, especially the one where she waves "bye bye" and has said "mama" a couple of times. (Daddy's girl has been saying "dada" for quite a while now. ) Today, however, we hit a milestone that I will admit made me tear up. We used the infant carrier for the last time. I love our carrier, but she is just too tall for it. We have graduated to the convertible car seat. She will still have to be rear facing until at least her first birthday , but she seems so big in it. Oh well, I will get over not having a tiny, cuddle buddy and enjoy my very active and excited little one. It really is pretty good exercise. :)

Here are some of the changes we have experienced:

This is the day we left the hospital.


Then, she mutated. So. . .


We had to upgrade!
The seat is in the car and apparently
rides pretty well. She took to
it quite nicely.


First night at home.
How sweet, huh?!?


This is how we find her when she wakes up at
nap time, in the middle of the night, or in the morning.
Notice that the mattress had to be dropped to its lowest
setting because she was pulling up on the rails.


Chillin' out in the living room then. . .
(Doesn't she look like a little gnome?)


and Now.

I have yet to get a good picture of the new teeth, but as soon as I do, I'll post them. Hope everyone is doing great. Leave us a comment to say HI. I will post soon about our walks with Aunt Tiffany and Baby Ben.
