The Apple of My Eye ...

Well, one of them anyway :)  I'll hopefully get pictures of my little man soon ... I pretty much have to bribe him with a  dum dum!

It's Been 1/2 a Year ...

We can't believe our baby is 6 months old already!  We will be celebrating her 1st birthday before we know it ... huge sigh.  She is a precious girl, so super sweet.  We love you more than words can express Abby!!

STATS:
17lbs 12 oz (79th %tile)
26 in (59th %tile)

WHAT'S NEW:
Abby is doing something new every day I feel like.  When I work 2 days in a row, I feel like I come home to a new baby ... depressing for me, but so exciting for her :)

**We started baby food on her 6 month birthday yesterday!  We started with organic sweet potatoes and she LOVED them!  She was quite the helper too, I had to fight the urge to wipe her down every 2 seconds!
**She is officially on the move ... on her hands and knees rocking, taking a few "crawls" and then dropping to scoot!
**Sitting up more sturdy every day
**Using a sippy cup once a day, we are going to start weaning bottles when I work!  Yay!
**Started drinking from a straw cup, she LOVES it!
**Napping much easier, but still a light sleeper ... so hard with a LOUD big brother!
**2 front teeth are poking through on the bottom!!  She hasn't been fussy yet, and really doesn't drool much ... yet :)

These are just a few of the highlights!

Siblings ...

It has been so fun to see these two interact with each other.  Now that Abby is on the move, she's getting in to everything ... including Gabe's things :)  For the most part, he is pretty good about it.  If he really doesn't want Abby to have something of his, he kindly snatches it from her and gives her something of hers ... LOL  Pretty cute now, until Abby has a say in it!!  She LOVES Gabe ... he knows how to make her smile and laugh, it's so cute!  Gabe loves Abby too, but in a big brother sort of way.  He wants to know where she is if he can't see her, sweetly pats her on the head and kisses her cheeks at random, and talks to her in the car when she starts to fuss.  It brings so much joy to my heart knowing that they have each other!


I posted lots of pictures ... sorry!
