BabyLegs...

BabyLegs are basically baby tights but aren't connected and cover just the legs. You can order them from http://babylegs.com/ ,buy them from target or make them out of adult knee socks. Here are the directions Grandma and I followed but you have to make sure and read all of the comments because the directions can be confusing, but are simple once you get them. http://www.flickr.com/photos/babyhopes/237396880/in/set-72157594274454468/

These are made from tall toe socks. I'm making MORE tomorrow so I will post more pictures of my finished products!!

Yay for (fake) BabyLegs!

BabyLegs

I found a how-to website on how-to make babylegs! I am now obsessed with them. So this past weekend we went over to grandmas house to use her sewing machine, so as dad watched Abby, grandma and I were busy in her sewing room trying to figure out those darn instructions. Eventually we got it. Now I can't wait until friday because I have more stuff to make MORE babylegs!! $3 a pair totally beats $12-$20 a pair!

Love this pic of Abby and Melissa, and I didn't mean to get Mels face in the pic.

Already 4 Months!

Abby has already been here with us for 4 months! She is just an amazing little person that we just love so much. She is such a wonderful and fun baby, she is the joy in our lives! Her personality shines more and more each day!

Abby had her 4 month appointment today and again, her doctor was absolutely impressed with her! She weighed 14 lbs 4oz and she is 25 in tall, (funny fact: she is measuring TALL)! She is sitting and standing great with some support and rolling over tummy to back. She loves to bat and grab at all different things from her toys, bottle, and us. She is also teething so she loves to put things in her mouth, and she is very creative how she does it!

Showin Off My Skills!

Abby has been rolling over for a little over 3 weeks now. She kind of took a little break between those weeks, but now she has perfected her new skill!

(I sound like a DORK!)

This is from today. Abby is 17 weeks. I can't believe my sweetie is going to be 4 months in just 4 days!

Silly silly Abby!

Abby loves sitting outside, sitting in her Bebe Pod and chewing on her Bebe Pod! She's too much fun!

New Toys!

Daddy playing Madden...
Abby showing Daddy how you WIN playing Madden!

This weekend we bought Abby a Jumperoo and she loves it! We love watching her grab at the toys. Its so fun to listen to her silly giggles, (it's silly because its not so much a sweet innocent giggle, its more of a manly laugh! So fun!)
Sunday was the Chiefs first game so Abby was all for the Chiefs, just like her Daddy!

JUST FOR NANA! I told you she would LOVE this thing!! Thank you :)

Abby News: Roll Over! Roll Over!

Abby rolled over (tummy to back)! Oh my, it was soo amazing to get to see her do it for her first time! Here's the story: Abby was taking a nap on Grandma Sonyas bed this past weekend and I heard her starting to wake up, so I peeked in the room and I noticed that she was putting her little tush way up in the air. So I went and got Brent to come and watch her with me. We watched her for about 5 minutes at she kept getting closer and closer to pushing her body over to her back. So I ran and got my camera and started to record her! And low and behold about 2 minutes later, she rolled over! I am super glad I got to witness this huge milestone but to get it on camera is awesome! I think it's a little long to post but I will try.
Abby just amazes me more and more everyday! I love her to pieces! Every time she shows off her little smile it just melts my heart! I feel so blessed to have something as precious as her and extremely blessed to be her mom and to have such a loving and caring boyfriend as Brent. He is such a great dad and is so great with Abby! Abby is truly a Daddy's Girl, not to mention Abby already has Brent wrapped around her finger!

Here are a couple of Abby's 3 month pictures even though Nana M has already posted one of them.

3 month Stats: 12 lbs even 22 3/4 in.

We moved!

I know this is kind of late but WE MOVED! Brent, Abby and I got an apartment in Maryville, where I go to school, Brent works and Abby's doctor is at. It's about 45 minutes from mom and a bigger town then Albany! We love it here. We love the fact of finally being on our own, in our own space, living as our own little family! Though we are both very thankful for mom and Sonya for supporting us and putting a roof over our heads, I do miss being in Albany and not being able to see mom everyday but we do make a trip back every weekend! ;) Grandmas and Nanas need their Abbers fix!

Sorry for the picture overload!

2 Month Check-Up

Abby had her two month check-up today. She was perfect! Height 22 1/2in and weight 10lb 10oz! She also got her shots poor thing, I cried more then she did, but Brent was great with her and saved her from the doctors after the shots.

She kept giving me this look that was saying,
"Mom what just happened!?!"

Yesterday, mom did our family pictures and Abby was such a good little girl! And absolutely adorable as well!

Yesterday I also made Abby flower headbands! I {heart} them!

Horrible Blogger!

Wow I'm really bad at blogging! It's almost been a month since my last post.
Update on Abby..She'll be 2 months on Wednesday and she also goes for her two month check-up on Wednesday as well! She's growing like a weed and still such a wonderful baby!

And this picture is just for Shar and Nicole! (love you guys!)

Internet and Updates!

Yay so we finally have the Internet hooked up! So I guess now I should update! Abby turned a month old 3 days ago and will be five weeks tomorrow. Wow, time has flown. She is still such a wonderful baby! She is sleeping and eating and pooping great. But two Wednesdays ago, the 18th, we got a call from the doctor and they had gotten her blood test results in (from when we were still in the hospital) and they had concerns about the PKU results so last Friday we took her back to get more blood drawn. We haven't heard back from them yet, but hopefully soon!
I can't believe how much she has changed in 5 weeks! Abby's hair is growing so long, but slowly balding at the same time. She is awake a lot more and much more alert! At her one week appointment she weighed 7lbs 11oz, a 5oz gain and she hasn't been weighed since, but oh my is she growing!
Father's Day was so much fun. Brent is such a great dad and deserved all the attention he got! Saturday we went over to Kris and Staci's, Brent's cousins for a Daddy's Day cook out. And Sunday, Mom got to host her first dinner party and had Grandma and Grandpa Abreu over and Hal and Sonya. It was such a nice night. Mom and I also did a photo shoot for Abby's announcements (coming soon!) and for her 1st Father's Day! It was a lot of fun and she was awake the whole time!!
