Busy, busy girl...so much to tell! I'm sorry it's been so long, this little baby keeps me hopping! Every day is an adventure, but one that we wouldn't trade for the world.
4 months old! 65th %ile for length, 30th for weight - pretty consistent on her own curve!
Miss Abby had her first trip to Pittsburgh! She did wonderful in the car (not that we expected anything different, of course) with just a few rest stops to eat and stretch. She was quite the celebrity, meeting many of her adoring fans, smiling and melting hearts all around. She got to hear Daddy play his trumpet at church for the first time, and met most of the family friends at St. Louise!
The Easter bunny found us in Bethel Park, and did not disappoint! Complete with an Elmo easter basket, Abby came home well equipped with blocks, bunnies, and binkies. She dazzled in her several Easter outfits, including her new dress!

Pretty Easter Baby!
Intrigued by her goodies...
Now that the weather is nice, we love being outside! The sun we can handle, although Momma insists on the floppy hat...you know how us redheads burn! The wind, however, produces the ultimate sour face and takes her breath away. She's taken walks in the stroller with Miss Kim, sitting up like a big girl, and we've had a family outing to the park. We even had our first trip to the zoo for Momma's first Mother's Day!

Eating has certainly taken an interesting leap....into solid foods! As instructed by Abby's pediatrician (who is wonderful!), we started with baby oatmeal. First try was interesting...she was not so sure about it....and by the 3rd day she was opening her mouth for the spoon! We've now moved on to rice cereal, and will start veggies next week if she's still doing well. Things are still a little messy, but it's more fun that way!
Yummo!
Abby's not the only one with exciting milestones going on....we finally made it to Daddy's commencement! For those that don't know, he finished his MBA in July and was scheduled to walk at December commencement. Slight change of plans when I started having contractions on the morning of graduation....which unfortunately ended up being a false alarm, but we had already missed it! So, after a few pleading emails to CSU on my part, the dean of the business school approved for him to walk in May! It was a torrential downpour for most of the day, but it let up just long enough for a few family pictures.
Five months old next week, I can't believe it's going so fast!
