Happy Birthday GG!!!







Dear GG,
Happy Birthday!!!  I hope you've had a great day.  I'm sad I didn't get to see you in person but got my Mommy and Daddy to take these pictures to post for you.  They tried and tried and tried to get a good picture of me holding the sign and smiling, but I was more interested in eating the paper than sitting still.  I look forward to seeing you again soon and love you very much!

Love,
Abigail

On a Mission

Abigail participated in her first ever mission trip this past weekend.  Chad took a group of senior adults from our church to work at Mission First in Jackson, MS.  Abigail and I drove over for the weekend as well and took advantage of the opportunity to stay with Coach and Nana.  While the senior adults worked hard cleaning and painting, Abigail served as more of a supervisor.  In fact, you can see her reaction below at the thought of having to work at all.  She lost it as soon as they handed her the paper towel roll.  I think she was worried about messing up her hair or outfit.  


Abigail sure does love her Daddy and hopes he'll take her on another mission trip soon.



I'm a mess!

Abigail seems to be enjoying the adventures of new foods.  In addition to rice cereal, she has tried and liked carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, and bananas.  She's getting better at keeping more of it in her mouth too.  The picture below is of the first attempt at carrots, obviously before her recent improvement.  



Nana gave Abigail the awesome shirt she is wearing below.  The warning on it is very serious and the threat of calling Nana is present 24/7.  The only rule Nana gave her was that she was not allowed to call her to tattle on her Mommy or Daddy.  What Mommy and Daddy says, goes...but everyone else is fair game.

Happy Easter!


Our little bunny wanted to wish everyone a very happy Easter.  It's been a beautiful day in Birmingham and we enjoyed church and our lunch with family.  Here are some pictures of our day.

Daddy being silly with Abigail.

4 Months!


Hi, my name is Abigail and I am 4 months old!  I weigh 12 pounds and 11 ounces and measure 24 1/4 inches.  This has been an awesome month for me and I have learned a few new tricks.  I am trying solid foods now but can't really figure out what to do when Mommy brings the spoon to my mouth.  I'd rather lick the food off the spoon rather than putting the whole thing in my mouth.  The food is okay, but the mess I make is even more fun!  


My first bite of rice cereal and applesauce.  Needless to say I was not very excited about it.


After a few bites, I changed my mind and decided it wasn't too bad after all.  

My Mommy has started trying to put these bow things in my hair.  She insists on trying even though they only stay in my hair for about 20 seconds.  I don't understand what the big deal is about the bows, but Mommy says I better get used to it. 




I am also working very hard on my tummy time.  Uncle Christopher and Aunt Jennifer let me borrow this cool tummy time mat.  It looks like a boogie board and I pretend like a am riding a wave at the beach (although I must admit I've never been to the beach or seen a wave).  Somehow, amidst all of my wiggling, I end up on my back.  Mommy and Daddy clap for this, but little do they know, I have no idea how it happens.  Whatever...they are so easily amused.
