4 Months

One sleepy girl in the front carrier!

Grant with the two cutest baby girls in Columbus!

I love my Bumbo seat!!!!

Always checking things out.

New overalls, now all we need is a John Deere hat to complete the look!


Wow, what a month!! We've been super busy and Abigail has made a lot of progress in the last month. She is now on a definite schedule and has slept through the night two nights in a row from 9pm-7:30a!!!! She has also rolled over and started laughing.

Abigail attended her first party; the first birthday party of our friend Wheeler. Jess, Grant and Kiera went with us and we had a lot of fun. We've also had visits from both grandparents which all enjoyed. Both grandmother's had fun buying Abigail some fall clothes. Grann (Gill's mom) bought Abigail her first pair of overalls. We just had to let her try them on (over her footed pj's) to see how they looked! :)

Abigail is also enjoying the Bumbo seat we borrowed from a friend. I think she likes the independence. :)

We have her 4 month appointment this Friday complete with the second round of shots. :( We're also waiting for a referral to get a second opinion from a specialist in Atlanta. Abigail has been diagnosed with allergic colitis and her pediatric gastro. doctor wanted to hospitalize her because she wasn't making the progress we had hoped for with the special formula. Her pediatrician and I have spoken and we're looking to get a second opinion hopefully sometime soon.

Love to each of you!

Smiles

Abigail has been smiling so much lately and since her cheeks are growing more than the rest of her body it makes the smiles even bigger! :) Here are a few smiles I caught with the camera today, I hope they brighten your day as much as they do mine!

Sweet Friends!

This is my awesome friend Jess and her daughter Kiera! Kiera is exactly one month older than Abigail and the girls are just now getting to the point where they notice each other; it's SO much fun. Last night we had our community group/bible study here at our apartment and Kiera showed up in a onesie that Abigail also owns. We decided that Abigail MUST change clothes for this photo op! :) ( Not only are both of our girls daddy's girls, but they also look just like their daddies!) Jess and I can't wait until they can laugh, smile and play together. You can be sure I'll post more pictures of those moments when they happen. Enjoy!

Sleeping Beauty and A New Dress

It's a miracle.. a picture of Abigail sleeping during the day!!!!!!! I'm celebrating one small victory at a time! :)
The other pictures are of Abigail wearing a dress that my friend Emily let me borrow; I LOVE it!

Things here are as well as can be expected. Abigail is growing well on her formula and I'm anxious to see exactly what her weight gain is when we head to the pediatricians office again in about a month. She is having another procedure/test done next week to rule out another tummy problem. The test has to be done at the hospital, but I'm told it is very minor and shouldn't take long. Please be praying for us both as we walk through the test, results and any possible follow on treatments.
Because Abigail cannot eat as much at one sitting it keeps her from getting the calories she needs during the day which help with night sleep. We're still doing one middle of the night feeding and her longest stretch of uninterrupted sleep is about 5-6 hours. I'm hanging on for 8-10 hours!
