An Update

Life has been busy lately, hence the lack of many posts lately. School and Abby have been consuming a large amount of my time. But, just 2 weeks until Christmas break!

Here's what's new in the life of Abigail. Her umbilical cord fell off just a couple of days ago. Everything looks good, and we're trying to decide if she's going to have an "inny" or an "outy."

Abby slept in her crib overnight for the first time last night! Up to this point, she has been staying in our room in the bassinet. The problem is that she makes little noises all night. Not crying, not really fussing, but just making noises here an there as she falls back to sleep. This keeps both Peggy and I awake more than necessary. Plus, we knew her sleeping in the room with us was only a part time thing anyways.

Abby also got her first real bath today. We used her bathtub for the first time instead of just "wipe downs" that we had done previously. She smells soooo much better!



We put up Abby's first Christmas tree today! She slept in her swing while we worked, but she was definitely the best supervisor we've ever had for this project.

And now the part that everyone is waiting for, more pictures!

Abby looking so cute in her carseat with adorable hat knitted by Great Aunt Cupcake.

Then we decided to take some early Christmas pictures of Abigail.


This is when mommy was holding her with the tree in the background.

Goodness! She's already starting to lose her newborn look and move into the infant phase. Overdue babies look more normal faster, in my opinion. They don't look so squiggly so long.

Super cute Christmas pictures. My favorite pictures of Charlotte right now are her Christmas pictures!

Did Peggy survive her first days home alone with the baby?
