An Abby Update

It's been a while since we just let you know generally what's going on in Abby's life.

She's at such a fun age right now, and has been for a couple of months now. Considering she doesn't crawl yet, she's quite mobil. We'll put her on the rug in the living room and a minute or two later she's on the complete opposite side.

A couple nights ago we took Abby to my parents pool for the first time. We were a little worried about how she would react, but she LOVED it! We were so excited. She loved splashing and kicking in the water. She kept dunking her head too! It made us laugh quite a bit until she inhaled a bit too much water down the wrong pipe once. But, she kept doing it. We'd be holding her and all of the sudden, she'd throw her head forward and into the water. We're going swimming again tonight, so maybe we can get some video.

EDIT: Didn't realize that Peggy already posted about the pool....oh well....just more details for you!

On the nap side of things she's doing GREAT! This was our biggest frustration with Abby....getting her to fall asleep (see previous posts). But, ever since I've been home for the summer, she's been on such an awesome schedule, and only fights sleep occasionally (and usually only for a couple minutes at most). She gets up almost at 6 on the dot everyday (rarely waking up overnight anymore! WAHOO!!!!!!!!!). She's up for about two hours, and goes down for her morning nap. This one usually lasts about an hour. Then, she's up around 9:00 or 9:30. She stays up til a little after noon, then it's time for her two to two and a half hour nap. Then she's up from about 2:30 to 5:30. She then takes her evening nap, which usually lasts about an hour. Then she's up for another two hours or so, and goes down for bed around 8:30 or 9:00. She still sleeps quite a lot! But, it's just nice that it's on such a good schedule. I never understood how people could get their children on such good schedules, but now I do! I guess that's what happens when you don't have to take her to daycare.
