Rolling over!!

This morning Jordan called in sick (he's been battling a cold for the entire week and decided to try to kill it once and for all) and was playing with Abigail on the floor of her room while I finished getting ready. All of a sudden I hear "she rolled over!!". I said "whatever" thinking that he was referring to her rolling from her back to her side, which she's been doing for some time. He convinced me to come watch... she did it!! She is really rolling over from her tummy to her back!

The last few nights she's been doing great pushing up onto her forearms and smiling. This morning she ballanced on one arm and rolled all the way over! I'm trying to figure out how to watch the video from my phone on the computer, but haven't figured it out yet. I'll post when I do!

I'm 3 months old already!!

These last three months have FLOWN by ~ I can hardly believe Abigail is three months old. Where did the time go? She is changing so much every day... talking and cooing, laughing and smiling. It's incredible! Sometimes she squeals and scares herself, it's pretty funny. She is doing great with pushing up when on her tummy and she really loves to stand on your lap. The cuddling has decreased, but just tonight she fell asleep in my arms, and I love that!



Saturday we had her three month pictures taken at Portrait Innovations (Jess, I wish you were closer to take them for me!!). Here are a few of our favorites:

Such a pretty smile in her pretty coat (THANK YOU Desiree!!)

Lookin' cute

Got Milk?

I took this picture on my phone this morning (and finially learned how to text/email myself the pictures I take). She was so smiley!! This is a t-shirt that one of my friends made at my babyshower!

False Alarm

In case you were all wondering (because I know you check this daily and just HAVE to know) Abby sleeping through the night was a fluke! Dang it!! She's definitely getting closer and will go about 6 or 7 hours, but that night, and 9 hours, was a one time thing so far. I'm crossing my fingers that 8-10 hours, regularly, is coming soon!!

Peed on and sleeping through the night??

Last night we gave Abigail a bath (normal) and afterwards wrapped her up in her cute towel (normal), took her up to her room to put on lotion, diaper, pj's (normal). I decided that Jordan needed to put lotion on her back and I would be brave and hold her ~ Mistake!! She peed on me, which really doesn't surprise me, but it soaked my shirt, pants, sock and got on the floor. Jordan and I were busting up laughing, and he couldn't get the towel to me in time to catch any of it.

We read to her and put her to bed about 8:30-9:00 and I expected her to wake up about 2 to eat again. Well at 4:30 I woke up and could hear her chewing on her hands through the monitor. She slept so great!! I couldn't hardly believe it! I don't know if this is a fluke or if she's really trying to sleep through the night...

Christmas Time!

~WARNING ~

This is going to be a long post with lots of pictures!

I just love Christmas time, but this year we didn't do a good job at decorating at all... having a baby makes everything just that much more complicated (but 100x better!). We didn't put lights up outside, and honestly, we're lucky we had a Christmas tree up at all. We said this is the last year for a real tree. I think you forget how much work and how big of a mess they are until you get one. So yeah, probably no real tree next year.

We just had a blast with Abigail! Of course she didn't help unwrap her gifts or anything like that (she's only two months old!) but she smiled and laughed, and everyone had so much fun with her.

We went to Mercer the weekend before Christmas where Abby met some of her extended family and we had Christmas with Jordan's family. She got lots of gifts and got to spend time with her cousin Mason (who is so cute and so much fun, also). We ate some really great food and had a wonderful time!

Jordan and I started a family tradition... on Christmas eve we get Christmas PJ's and wear them to bed, wake up to open presents with them on the next morning, and take a picture in front of the fireplace with 'em on. We figured that no matter where we move we'll always have a fireplace, so this should be a tradition we can easily make happen each year. I was a little stressed out shopping for Christmas PJ's this year, though. I didn't "think" of the idea until Christmas eve and by that point Target was pretty picked over. Jordan got us a video camera, which I'm really excited about. Now we'll just see how often we take videos and what we do with them!!

Later Christmas day we traveled to Nebraska and had Christmas with my mom, dad and sister Christmas night. Again, Abigail got spoiled and got a lot of fun gifts, including a Cabbage Patch doll, some John Deer clothes and Aunt Allison made her the neatest thing for her wall (I'm going to have to take a picture). Grandpa has some majic tricks up his sleeve ~ if Abigail cried all he had to do was sing her "Camp Town Races" and poof! she was better. It seemed to only work for him, though, Jordan and I tried it and we don't have the majic touch. The rest of the weekend was filled with family, food and fun. We really had a great time.
