Since yesterday was Abbi's 3 month birthday, we of course got her setup and took some pictures of her to commemorate the event. Jenn wanted to put her in something nice for the picture, so she put her in this dress that her mother made. Then we put her in the bumbo chair and she just starting having a good ol' time. As you can see here.
I thought this would be a good time to reflect again on the last month of Abbi's life and how shes continued to grow.
Just like the last two times reflected on Abbi, I went back and re-read what I previously wrote to know where to start. The older she gets the more she seems to want to smile. When I come home in the evening Abbi is always with Jenn either in her arms, or in the bouncer on the island watching Jenn cook. I find my two girls, give them kisses, and than smile at Abbi to see her smile back at me real big. It goes the same way in the mornings as well. Jenn gets everyone up and then once I'm ready and downstairs I find Abbi and she smiles at me, its a pretty awesome feeling!
As for work, and day care, things seem to have evened out some. She spends part of the week with Grandmom and the other part with Mrs. Debbi, our pastor's mother. Abbi seems to enjoy it, if nothing else, it seems the women that watch her enjoy watching her, which I suppose is more important at this age. Jenn had a really hard time getting back to work a few weeks ago, and she is still pretty sad each morning when Abbi and I leave, but it does appear to be getting better, and slightly easier for her. Lucky for us I have the ability to take Abbi, and Jenn gets the joy of picking her up.
In other Abbi developments, she's starting to sit up. The last week she's been siting up with assistance, last night no assistance was needed. She was laying on Jenn and decided she wanted to sit up. It was pretty awesome. Its so funny to see her sit up or stand up with help because you can see all the concentration going on in her little head to keep it all together.
She also becoming fond of sticking out her tongue. Its not really one of those mimic things, its just something she likes to do. And on the tongue thing, she drools like crazy. Its nuts. I can't imagine what its going to be like when she actually starts to get teeth in, but its pretty wet around her neck these days.
I guess to wrap up on Abbi's last month, its still pretty awesome. I enjoy taking her to day care each day, its a little bit of time when its just me and Abbi, and I enjoy driving with her. She keeps getting bigger and bigger, and learning new things, which is awesome. When we give her a bath she loves it. She just kicks and kicks and splashes the water around, again though you can tell she's really concentrating on what shes doing. Finally, something I'm sure all parents say, she just keeps getting cuter every day. Her hair is growing, but slowly and as such shes always got this crazy hair, and looks absolutely adorable.
