4 months

So abby went for her four month check-up today and had to have four shots (poor baby). She weighs 15lbs 12 oz and is 23 and 1/2 inches long. Abby is good and healthy. We are blessed to have her in our family. As a side note yesterday Elizabeth can up to Abby and told her "now Abby I want you to be a good girl and to not cry to much and no urping (meaning spitting up), okay" It made me smile.

Sisterly Love

Abby has just starting to hold rattles and toys. Elizabeth helped me wash all of her baby toys to get them ready for Abby. So the other day I was holding Abby and she reached out to grab Elizabeth's shirt and pulls on it a little. Elizabeth pulls away and says to Abby " don't pull my shirt Abby, I'm a girl not a toy".

Elizabeth gave Abby a hug and then told her "don't wiggle so much Abby, I'm trying to give you a hug".

The best is when they are interacting and Elizabeth says, "Abby smiled at me, she likes me".

I am sure they will be best friends for life.

trick or treat

This year for Halloween we were characters from the Wizard of Oz. Elizabeth & I were both Dorothy, Chris was the Scarecrow. Abby was our little Lion. Chris was able to come to the AIM party that morning and enjoyed being there. Elizabeth had a great time trick or treating that evening. She also enjoyed "Helping" Grandpa give out the Halloween candy to the trick or treaters. Although sometimes she didn't give it away, she kept it for herself. All in all it was a good halloween.

pumpkin carving

Elizabeth actually helped me to pull out the guts of the pumpkin this year. It was a new sensory experience for her. She also picked out the pumpkin pattern I used and "helped" me poke holes to trace the design. She liked how it looked in the dark with the candle the best. Abby was happy with what ever we had her do and sat patiently in her bouncy chair so I could do the carving. All in all she was rather interested in the process and had fun getting involved in this Halloween tradition.
