Abigail Update

Abby has been up to so much lately. She started scooting around at 5 1/2 months and tentative crawling at 6 months. By the time we moved (she was almost 7 months) she was getting around on her own pretty well & even ended up crawling into the pantry cupboard while I was unpacking. It me a minute to figure out where she went, it was like she knew she shouldn't be in there... she was soo quite! She started pulling herself up to stand right at 7 months. At 7 1/2 months she started singing to herself in the mornings, It was so much fun for me to wake up to that! -she is such a sweet sweet baby.
She just turned 8 months last Saturday (Valentines) and is making all sorts of noises. She started with bababa (I claimed this as her saying my name, Tyler's family calls me 'Bob'), then she started babadabda, then came dadada, and my personal favorite, tehtehteh(she whispers it- so cute!)

Surprise!

A lot has been going on the last couple of months, it's been so fun and exciting:) First, we found out that Abigail is going to be a Big Sister! We've known for a little while and been trying to keep it pretty quite and just among family until I was further along. I went in for a check-up (16wk) on Thursday and found out...we're having a little BOY! I couldn't be more excited, I'm gonna have one of each!
I really had it stuck in my head that we were gonna be having a girl and it made sense; Abigail will maybe be 14 months when this one comes (he's due Aug. 7 & she was born June 14- a week early); they would have a lot of the same friends, it'd work out great with clothes, and they would be fine sharing a room for forever.
I wasn't even letting myself think that it could possibly be a boy. I just can't stop thinking about it. I was sure that Abby was gonna be a boy, even after we had a couple ultrasounds that said she was a girl. Not that I have anything against girls; honestly, I'm a little jealous of Abby I always wished that I had a twin brother or at least one that was a little closer to my age. I'm just excited that our little family is growing.

We're Back!
