Abby 4 months

Abby was 4 months onnnnn February 28th? March 1st? 2nd? 

We've got a happy baby on our hands, especially in the mornings!

You light up when you see mommy and daddy. This month you weighed 12.1 lbs at your 4 month appointment. You are in the 9th percentile for weight and 29th percentile for weight. You are still quite a little peanut, but the Dr.says you are growing healthfully.

This month you had your first little giggle and have begun to giggle a few times since!! You especially giggle when your daddy makes all kinds of faces at you or dances with you. You are beginning to become a little ticklish on your belly, legs and neck. 

You stil love to talk. When you get going you babble for up to 30 minutes on your own! 

You can sit in your walker on your own, however you can't quite touch the floor yet! 

You try to sit up on your own but after a couple seconds you flop over:) you'll get there sweet girl!

Lately you get fussy right at 8:00. We think you know it's time for bed! 

Of course mommy and daddy are so in love with you, as are your grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles!!

We love you Abby Sue!

IT'S A BOY!

Yep, we are having a boy!! These two girlies are going to love up on him more than he will know what to do with.  Let's just say after the first two girls, Mark was totally prepared to be an all girl dad.  When he saw the ultrasound and asked the technician if this ultrasound looked different than the last two, and she agreed, his response was, "Huh." He smiled at me and said, man, we have a lot to do.  The tech laughed throughout the ultrasound and kept whispering to me, "He's funny."  Mark would stare at the ultrasound, measurements, etc. and turn around every couple of minutes and say only a couple words, "Wow, this will be different,"  "It's really real,"  "Huh,"  "We've got to start a new spreadsheet of names."  We had a fun day finding out the gender, and Abby had fun seeing the baby on the ultrasound.  We didn't let her in on the secret of boy/girl, as she wanted to be surprised.  Poor Emma did...

Our girls

Oh these girls. I never imagined I’d have girls- plural. Maybe one girl, but not more than one. I always envisioned our family being full of boys, just as both of our families are, and many of the generations of families are that come before ours. To be completely honest, I kind of wanted it that way too - it's what I've always known. However, one summer day, when I pregnant with Abby, I could feel God changing me, placing this tenderness on my heart and whispering to me that I don’t make the plans, he does. I could tell that I needed to make a shift, that my heart wasn't in the right place, and that he was going to be working change in me. It wasn't that I didn't ever want a girl, I had just been so convinced for so long that we would have a boy first. Then, two girls?! Sisters are a new concept in our family. 3 boys, 1 girl. 5 boys, 1 girl. Even both of my parents sibling sets are made up of boys (plural) and one girl. Can I just say th...

Honeymoooooon!

Mark and I headed to the Dominican Republic the Monday following our wedding! We had such a great time but were definitely to get home to Cedar Falls at the end. We stayed at the Hard Rock Resort in Punta Cana.  The resort was beautiful, ocean was beautiful, food was delcious and plentiful and we just had ourselves a nice trip :)  My favorite new thing I tried was probably the guacamole... this is a food that has always kind of grossed me out, but I decided to try it and it was so tasty! Mark was a big fan of the variety of meats at the Brazilian Grill restaurant (as was I).  We tried so many different meats that were cut off a skewer hot off the grill! Yummy.  Here are a few pictures from our trip :)
