Say "Cheese"

2 months

I guess it's time for a new post! I've been doing so good this month, or at least i feel like I am. Let's see here, to keep you updated... last week was pretty awesome. Not much happened until Saturday. We had our Super Saturday activity for Relief Society and we made these cute decorations for the different seasons.

Afterwards Chelsea and I went to Roberts to put our names in a drawing for some Christmas supplies, but unfortunately neither of us won. We then joined our husbands and watched the Georgia game and made hair clips. Sunday I made cupcakes for a girl at church and had some extras so Ashley and Jon and Reid and I got those, yummy... and then later that night I made a Grasshopper pie. Way good and easy (Oreo crumbs, mint chocolate chip ice cream and whipped cream) But the most awesomest thing of last week was that Abigail has started sleeping at least 6 hours a night. She has started to vary as to when she wants to go to bed, but it is somewhere between 9 and 12. Oh how I love my sleep!

Today she is 2 months, which means that I've been doing okay at keeping her alive! She is really starting to coo and talk to us. Last week, she sang with Reid during church! The only time she really fusses is when she is hungry or tired, or just wants to be held (she's my little cuddle buddy:) ) She smiles a lot too, but I can never get a really good picture of it. That's my mission this week is to get a good smiling picture from her.

This week is going to be awesome too! It started today. I deep cleaned my kitchen while Reid watched Abigail (thanks honey). I haven't seen it so clean since well before Abigail was born. Thursday I get to pick up Jayne at the airport (I'm not looking forward to driving to Salt Lake on my own) and Friday all three of us girls are going to see New Moon! I must say that is one expensive movie ticket for Jayne! Oh and In 'N Out opens tomorrow! What joy has come to my life! But that's it. I'll work on my pictures!

The Countdown -16 days

Can anything be more exciting!?!

The Winds of Change????

For what seems to be for ages, or at least the past month, Abigail likes to think that daytime is really nighttime and nighttime is really daytime. So as you can guess, she likes to stay up at night. Not just for an hour or two, but more like 5 to 6 hours straight. I've been reading this book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Healthy Child" and it says not to let infants be up for more than two hours. Now how are you supposed to put an awake child to bed? Seriously! Anyway last night may have been a break-through. We put her to bed at 10:30 and she woke up at midnight. (that was expected) She finished eating at about 1 am and seemed tired. I put her in her crib and of course she decided to wake up. I let her cry it out for 5 minutes, comforted her, tried feeding her some more, put her back to bed, and let her cry 10 more minutes. Finally I picked her back up and rocked her. She liked that and fell back to sleep. Instead of putting her back in her crib she slept in my arms. (it's not something that I want to have to happen every night, but oh how peaceful it is to have your little one sleeping in your arms) She slept from 2 am to 9 am with a little fussing/eating at 6 am when Reid had to get up for school, but she never fully woke up until 9. How splendid it is to have gotten some sleep! This isn't her last night but when she is sleeping she can sleep through anything... What a cutie!
