So many more milestones, and it hasn't even been six weeks yet!
Most interesting updates:
Miss Abby is allergic to cow's milk, and is now officially a vegan. Her tummy (and her buns) are doing much better with soy formula. At our one month pediatrician's appointment, she weighed in at a wopping 8 lb 12 oz! It was only the 50th percentile, but considering how far her weight dropped and dealing with the milk allergy, she's moving in the right direction. Here is our one month photo:
In other news, she is officially a social butterfly! She's been "talking" more and more everyday. Lots of goo's and ahh's, especially when she is playing on her whale mat. And....we have smiles! For the first few weeks, we saw the fleeting smiles that make you wonder if they were real or just gas (with her, the latter is always a distinct possibility). Now, we have real social smiles! She especially loves it when Daddy tells her how pretty she is =) We even caught one on camera!
Maternity leave is almost half over already, and I can't imagine not seeing her for longer than a couple hours! I do miss all of my friends at work, and will be excited to stretch my brain again. For now, we are attempting to get onto some sort of schedule, and enjoying the time where my only job is to stare at her while she is sleeping and wonder....how in the world did we make something so perfect??
Thank you to everyone who has visited and called and brought food and given Brian and I the gift of adult interaction. We are so lucky to have all of you! I can't wait for the weather to get better so we can have more adventures to meet more of our friends and family! We're excited for the christening, so Abby can meet more of the Pittsburgh family. She even donned her special outfit for her first Super Bowl. Unfortunately, she wasn't the good luck charm Daddy was hoping for, but it made for a great first family photo (even if Uncle Tony was reluctant to be our cameraman out of principle):
Everyone stay warm, and have a wonderful Valentine's Day. Love to you all <3
