4 Month Check Up

Leave a comment

On Friday February 6th, Abigail went in for her 4 month check up and from what the doctor says… “She’s Perfect” (music to a mother and father’s ears). Its so wonderful to see that she is healthy and so very happy. Her current measurements put her weight at 15 pounds and 10 ounces and her length at 25 inches! She is getting big! She had her vaccinations as well and let me tell you… it was hard as a mom not to reach out and smack the nurse who made her cry. But that’s not rational or appropriate! She screamed for both shots, but once she was dressed again and back in her stroller with her blanky and binky… life was good. Shes been a bit crabby and feverish, but thats normal.

Abby is really starting to develop a personality. She knows what gets our attention and how to keep it. She is definitely starting to sit up on her own, although she still needs our help most of the time. She is grabbing everything now and most things end up in her mouth. She seems to be teething a little, although its not too bad thus far. She talks like crazy and I think she has figured out the right octave that can shatter glass! She giggles and smiles a lot, especially when she sees mommy and daddy but most importantly when she sees her bottle! She is such a little angel and I am so blessed that she was given to us. I cant wait to watch as she grows and I cherish each day that passes.

Abby enjoys her binky and supports the Kings during the Ottawa game. She must have been a good luck charm because they won! (The Kings that is).

Abby looks like she is up to no good!

Mommy tries to get in some kisses, but Abby isnt having it! Its time for bed!

Kings Vs Blackhawks 1.29.09

Ok…. so I should have posted this first but I had to share it! On January 29, 2009 Shaun and I went to go see the Kings play the Blackhawks at Staples Center. We generally have seats that are at the top of Staples, nose bleed basically. But things were different for this game! Shaun was able to get us seats right behind the goal, only 3 rows back! Wow…. what an experience! Such a difference… I felt so spoiled. The Kings won that night as well, which made us both very happy and I had the chance to see the game and all of my favorite players up close. It was great!

This is the view from where we usually sit… they look so small!

This is the view from our seats that night. Boy were they great!

Pow Wow on the ice, I could almost hear what they were saying… but not quite!

After the game… Kings won… Theyre #1!

The Happy Couple with big smiles… the Kings won, of course we are happy!

Abigail’s 1st Disneyland Trip

Leave a comment

So on Sunday February 1st, Shaun and I celebrated Abigail’s 4 month birthday! We decided to take a little trip to Disneyland since we hadn’t been in a long time and we are annual passport holders! The trip was fantastic. Abigail seemed to really enjoy herself, as much as a 4 month old can. She seemed completely engrossed in all of the sights and sounds. Mary Poppins and Burt even caught her attention and made her giggle. She is getting so big and doing so much… I cant wait until she is old enough to go and really appreciate everything! It was sooo much fun!

You just have to love that face! Such a happy little girl! This one reminds me of a picture of my mom and me when I was this age.
