3 Months Old!

Abigail is three months old today. It definitely seems like I have been a mom for more than just a few months! In some ways it seems like Abigail is much older and has been around much longer, yet the three months have also been really short! I thought, since Abigail is SO much older now (haha), that I would get out some of her little toys. She hasn't really shown too much interest in them yet, but when I got the camera out she started playing with these rings.
"look at me mommy, I am so big!"

"hmmmm, these things might be interesting after all!"


This was yesterday afternoon... I thought that little headband looked so cute in her hair, but when I took it off it left red marks. We won't be wearing that anymore!

Voting Day -part 2

Yay, We voted and got stickers! Abigail isn't quite sure about her little hanging friends...


Voting Day

Today Abigail and I are going to vote! This will be my first time voting in a presidential election... how exciting! (even though it's just a primary... still very important!) I have discovered a few new websites that I am going to try and frequent... I have been reading the blog 'girl talk' (written by a mom and her three daughters) on and off for a few months and it has some great articles about Biblical womanhood. From their website, I clicked on a link for another blog called 'radical womanhood.' This woman, Carolyn McCulley, has written some wonderful articles and is pretty on point (from what I have read so far) with her blog. Her writings are very interesting to me. I am definitely going to keep up with this one and continue to browse through her previous writings as well!
for the ladies -you should check it out! for the guys.... you should check it out too and share it with a lady in your life! I'm off to get my shower in while Abigail is taking a nap.... here are some pics from this morning! Have a wonderful day... =)

"are you done yet, mom?"

Here are a couple of pictures of Abigail from this morning... I thought she might roll over again, but she didn't. Maybe later today! Doesn't she look cute in her green fleece outfit from gma bonnie?

Abigail Rolled Over!

Yay Abigail! She rolled over today for the first time by herself! She actually did it two times in a row. Matt and I tried to catch it on camera, but she wore herself out doing it the first two times and was too tired to do again. bummer... I think we used like 15 min of camera tape through out the day trying to get her to roll over. Oh well, I'm sure one day soon we will catch this new feat! Here are some pictures from yesterday and today.

For the Grandmas (and everyone else too)

Abigail and I were having a great time trying on some of her dresses! I am glad that we got them out when we did, because most of them fit her! I think I might've went a little bit crazy with the pictures, but she looked so cute in everything. Don't worry, the new outfits will be coming soon in pictures. At the time of our little fashion show, the new outfits were in the washer and dryer (yes mom, I did wash the whites seperately). Here you go... have fun!

The little princess on her throne!


Here she is in the pretty dress from gma lori. She looks so beautiful in it!



Such a cutie

Sitting pretty (and trying not to fall forward)


"yes, mom?"



Here is just a sample of her many spit up moments

(click to enlarge)

"hmmm, what are those little butterflies doing??"


Here is Abigial glaring at her mobile


She looks SO pretty in this color! This little dress was in a box of hand-me-downs and I think it is adorable!


Holding her dress up again


Look at those bright blue eyes! This dress is from a little boy that was in my class. Abigail will definitely have to wear tights with it... it's a little bit short!

"Ok, enough pictures mom"

"I love to watch my mobile!"
cute little smile
cooing at her butterflies

Morning Shots

Abigail was having fun in her swing!"yum, yum, I love my fist" "...and I'm starting to like my fingers too!"
"ok, I'm bored"
Abigail had a bath and is all fresh and clean in this picture

Thank You!

Abigail was so excited today because she got TWO boxes in the mail! As you can see from the pictures below, she was thrilled about her new clothing items!
Pretty spring package from gma Bonnie

"Thank you Gma Lori and Gpa Jeff! I love all of my new outfits! I think I will wear the pink one for Valentines day. I also love the little lamb outfits... they are so cute and I can't wait to wear them!"

"Thank you, Grandma Bonnie and Gpa Al. I love my new outfits! It will be fun to wear the soft green fleece outfit... green is such a good color on me! (that's what mommy says anyway)"

I can't wait to dress Abigail in all of these cute clothes! I was thinking that she really didn't have too many 6mo clothes to wear... she does now! I will be trying out the video camera upload when Abigail is taking her nap.... hopefully it will work so you can see the cute girl in action! Thanks again for all of the beautiful outfits!

Is it Spring Already?

Abigail and I went with Matt this morning so we could go to convo with him. We did this last week as well... I think it might become our little tradition! All of the Faculty and Staff go to convo on North campus in the main santcuary of Thomas Road. We have to watch the service on the big screens, BUT we do have very comfy seats! Kate also goes to convo on N.campus, so we get to see her also!
The weather is warm today (it's supposed to get up to 71), but just in the past hour or so it has started raining. Anyways, I put Abigail in this little spring outfit that probably won't fit her in spring. I am glad she got a chance to wear it!
Here she is in her "capris" and little hoodie.

"whoa mom"

pretty, pretty princess! (she was a little too tired to sit up on her own... I had to help her)

"I'm just relaxing in my boppy"

See what I mean with her pulling up her dresses to her mouth!?! haha, she makes me laugh. She was really working hard on chewing her fists here...

My mom sent a package that has software to download tape from the video camera onto the computer. I am so excited to get it so that you can see Abigail "talking" and making lots of noises! We have a lot of footage... hopefully I can figure it out and post some soon!
