Back from Minnesota!

Nate and Abbie and I had a great 2 1/2 weeks in Minnesota. Well, Daddy was only there for four days, but we had a great time! I got together with another mommy friend of mine from highschool, Jenn Moore, and Tegan and Abbie got along just great! = ) I had two baby showers, one with the Merritt's, and one with a group of high school friends. So fun! Great grandma and grandpa came to meet their great granddaughter, and last but not least, Nate's brother Aaron got married! It was an eventful, and fun vacation... not back to the real world. School starts in a couple of weeks! Ah! Oh! And to brag a little bit... when we got home last night at 12:30 a.m., I walked into the family room to find a brand new micro suede sectional couch that my husband had purchased and put in our house while I was in MN! It was so fun! Thanks for the patience with no updates for a while, we forgot to bring the cord that hooks up the camera to the computer. Whoops! I know everyone has been holding their breath for an update, well, okay, now you can breathe. Have a great week!

DINNA TIME!!!

The solids have begun! We gave Munch some rice cereal mixed with formula. She like it! She basically liked to chew on the spoon too, I think she's teething. She got about 1/2 a tablespoon of cereal in her... if it even got IN her, most if it was on her face and bib! Oh well, mommy had a good time putting together the high chair and watching Abbie's facial expressions. So cute! She's also laughing now occassionally. She had done it about 5 times. Something different has caused it every time, and each time we try to repeat it, she won't laugh again. Oh well, it's basically the cutest noise in the whole world!

Loooooong Blog

Okay, lots to update!! First of all, Nate and I drove up to Grandma and Grandpa Merritt's for fathers day. We dropped little one off, and enjoyed a weekend of wine tasting in Sonoma and Napa. We stayed at the Sonoma Mission Inn. It was BEAUTIFUL!!

My taste for red wine is getting better, but I still like the super sweet whites. Basically like alcoholic kool-aid. HA!



THEN... we picked up the baby and traveled to Santa Cruz where we stayed at an ADORABLE little beach house. We walked along the beach, had cook outs with friends, went on runs, it was GREAT! We went to Monterey for a day, drove around down town Santa Cruz, checked out the surf shops... Munch had a great time in her sun hat and sunglasses. She is a sun girl just like her mother!

Long Lost Update!

So sorry I haven't written in so long. School has been CRAZY. I have 5 more days, YES!!! This update is dedicated to Jenn Moore = ) We haven't tried cereal yet, although the doctor said we could. I've been holding off until school is done to add another change in her schedule... however, we did have a major even withing the last few weeks... Daddy graduated from medical school! It was so fun! He's officially a doctor, and we'll be making a double income next year. YES!!! Abbie cooperated as always, and was such a good girl throughout the ceremony! She is now rolling over, batting at her toys, and spitting everywhere! Love to all! Abbie and Jenn

Play time!

First of all, here is what we look like after out shower with Daddy. HA! She loves to have her hair washed and dried. Unfortunately, this is what it looks like after it's dried. We promptly have to brush it. She like the brushing too. Have a happy week!

Also, we love our bumbo! She looks so cute sitting up! Her head gets a little wobbly from time to time, but this "chair" is amazing! She can sit up, even though she doesn't know how!! = ) She sits in it and watches sports with Dad. He's convince she loves sports, although I think it may have more to do with the bright, flashing lights.

Mother's Day!

Our little girl turned 4 months on Sunday. Nate and I drove up to his parents house in Northern Cali for a baby dedication service that his dad was doing. We dedicated Abigail to the Lord, and had a great mother's day!! Nate TOTALLY splurged and got me the new coach diaper bag, which we could not afford, which makes me love it even more!! = ) He's SO good to me. Little one did SO WELL during the service. She "talked" a little, but didn't cry. She loved the loud music. She looked soooo cute. (Duh, as always!!) Happy Mother's Day!!!
