2 Months Old Today!!!

Little Miss Abby turns two months old today!  We're having a hard time believing that she could be this old! :)  We just returned from her 2 month doctor's appointment.  Abby now weighs 12 lb 6 oz (in the 75th percentile) and is 23.5 inches long (in the 90th percentile).  She is one long baby!  She did very well at her appointment and even suffered through a slew of shots without too much of a scene. :)

Abby is starting to experience the beginning of teething.  The doctor was amazed that she can feel her teeth starting to develop so early!  She has been drooling a great deal and putting her fists in her mouth, as well as fussing.  This is just the beginning of teething though.  She won't have her first tooth for quite some time still.

Abby is so much more alert now and can focus quite well.  Just this week she was able to focus on the television and watched her first Sox game with her mummy (the Sox won of course!)  ;)  Her legs are so strong and it really feels like she can almost stand.  She enjoys "standing" most of all right now.  She is talking so much lately and we feel like she'll be saying real words soon.  :)

We found out that Abby has been accepted in to our first choice daycare center.  Though we hate to part, Leif is back to work next week and I only have a month left of my leave.  Abby is lucky enough to be spending some time with her grandmas in July before starting daycare in August.  She will be going three days a week and we really love the place.  They even teach the infants sign language so Abby will be able to communicate her needs before being able to do so with speech!

We apologize for not updating this blog more often!  We have been a busy traveling family as of late.  Abby has been down to our family's cabin in Western MA a number of times now and went on her first camping adventure in Maine!  We stayed in a cabin at the campground and were able to share Lake Pemaquid Campground with Abby.  Lake Pemaquid Campground is a special place where I have camped for the past 25 consecutive years.  I'll post a separate blog about our trip as it was extra special with a visit to my childhood minister!

We are all off to our cabin in Western MA for 3 nights now.  Will update with more specifics of our adventures when we return!  Abby has been so wonderful about all of our traveling and truly enjoys being outside most of all.  We are feeling so blessed!

Here is an updated photo of our Red Sox fan. :)  We will post more pics with our upcoming blog posts!  :)  Sending love to all!!!

OH!  PS Minnesota family- Abby officially has her first Vikings jersey now. :)  We found one on sale at Old Navy and couldn't resist. :)
