Today Abby is one month old!

She had a pediatrician appointment this morning. Kyle and I weren't sure exactly what time so at 9:35, Kyle calls and is told that our appointment is at 10. Less than half an hour to get up and out of bed and get everyone ready to go??...oh, and Abby hadn't eaten in 3 hours & was not going to last until we got back. Oy. Well, I'm proud to say that we fit in half a nursing, Kyle got a shower, I got dressed, and we were at the doc's office at 10:05. Go us!

Abby weighed in today at 8lbs 12 oz! She also grew an inch and a half in length. We got some more silver nitrate put on her belly button to clear up the little bit of oozing that she still had going on. The doctor said everything looks great and is pleased with her weight gain.

At one month old, Abby is learning to hold up her head. This is still a skill in progress, but she gets better at it everyday. She is still in love with lights - anything bright will capture her attention. She is starting to make more eye contact and maintain it with us more and more. She is a content child. She cries when she needs something - but even the most horrendous screams stop immediately once you figure out what it is that she wants. She sleeps well - waking only to be fed and going back down after. She makes a million facial expressions that keep me and Kyle endlessly entertained.

Kyle and I took a video of Abby to share - but I'm having technical difficulties uploading it. Check back later, maybe I'll figure it out.
