Best Christmas Present Ever

Abigail just gave me the best Christmas present ever. She held her bottle by herself for the first time.

Christmas was very busy but a lot of fun. Abigail had a great time and got lots of presents. Afterwards we went to Aunty Anna and Uncle Nick's house for Christmas Dinner with family.

Ab loved talking to her Auntie Anna and cousins

Moral of the story...

Exercise is bad for you!

Went to the gym for the frst time in like 5 years and brought abigial with me. she had a great time in the day care. We (friend and her 2 kids) walked back to the jeep. Put the kids in...Abigail (2mos) Maya (16 mos) and Carter (27 mos) and walked around to put stroller in trunk...all of a sudden we hear a BEEP BEEP and the doors were all locked with all three kids in the car.

The cops came very quickly...amazing how quickly they respind when you tell them there are 3 kids under the age of 3 locked in the jeep. It took them more time to get the door open then to get there. They were at the Y in less then 5 minutes.

ALl in all, she is fine, I am worse for wear. But she is doing great!

Police said that you should never have a car alarm with small children.

Sitting (almost)

She ALMOST has it. I think this is so cool! Abigail is sitting for about 5 seconds at a time. Unfortunately it is not enough time for me to grab a picture!

Exersaucer

Abigail is in love with her exersaucer! Her arms are still too short to reach the toys withoout a pillow behind her but this is a great toy to keep her entertained durring her napless days.

not sleeping AT ALL

Abigail has hit the bright eyed and bushy tailed stage of life I guess. All she wants to do is stare out into the world. She is really wide awake. Unfortunately she is so busy looking she is not interested in sleeping any more.

She is now eating every 2 hrs ( 4 ounces) again durring the day and is no longer napping. Plus she moved her bed time back till about 8pm and is sleeping till 7 most nights.

Sick :(

Abigail is sick. She woke up at midnight with a slight fever, and stuffed nose and really bad cough. She is so miserable. She just layed in my bed looking at me like "why do I feel so bad"

10 days old..

I left Abby in the middle of my bed for 3 minutes because and when I looked back
she was on her belly. 10 days old and she managed to squirm her way from back to belly. Just proof you cannot leave them alone for a minute!

Abigail Rosaria Forbes was born this morning at 3:51am. She spent the first 12 hours of her life in the NICU but is doing great now. Dr. Hall was right about her being a big baby. She made her entrance at 9lbs 13 ounces and was 23 inches long. She is doing great and is the most beautiful baby ever born!
