Happy Halloween!

Abby was a little piggie for Halloween. We went to our ward carnival/trunk or treat. It was lots of fun. We also got to see lots of family over the weekend, and even celebrated Makayla's 3rd birthday with her!
her little pig tail!Abby still has thrush (sores all over her mouth), and over the weekend she had something bugging her tummy. I was thrown up on at least a dozen times!! Her tummy is feeling better, but now I think she's getting a cold. Boo!!!

2 months!

Abby had her two month check up at the doctors yesterday. She is a big girl! She weighed 11lbs 13oz (75th percentile), and is 24 1/4in long (97th percentile)! I can't believe she's so big already! It makes me so sad that she is growing so fast! She had 5 shots yesterday, and we also found out she has thrush. Poor baby, has been so good, I feel like a jerk mom that I didn't even know she had thrush! It's so sad to see your baby in pain, but she sure is a good baby!

New House

Well, we moved out to Queen Creek last friday. It has been the most crazy stressful process anyone can imagine. Almost everything that could have gone wrong has. But we made it and things are starting to calm down around here. I am just so grateful that my parents were able to come up and help with everything, I probably would have lost my mind if they didn't! We had so much help moving, which also helped with my sanity! I already love the fact that I can change whatever I want about this house, but luckily it is in really good shape. All it needs is some fresh paint, and eventually new carpet. It was so nice to have a place we can actually fit people in because had lots of company over the weekend with Abby's blessing. I don't have any pictures at the moment, but I'll post some eventually.

Blessing

We blessed Abby last sunday, and she did great! Not a peep out of her during the whole thing (which Nate was very happy about!) When Nate brought her back to me she was all smiles! It was like she really knew what just happened. It was very emotional for Nate and I, Abby is such a blessing in our lives! After the blessing eveyone came back to our place for a little luncheon. It was so nice to have so many family members share this day with us!! My mom made Abby's dress (the top part of it was the same material we used for my wedding dress), and I made a cute little headband for her. Here are some pictures from the day sleepy girl

Me and my baby!

Most of the Andersons
Curtis and Courtney!

And all the Williams family with an extra random guy.....

Abby's new trick

This is how I put her to sleep..... And this is what I found when I woke up.....
I knew as soon as I could feel her inside of me that she was a squirmer. The best part about it all is that her head stays in the same place, she just wiggles her body around in a circle. I have also found her foot sticking out of the crib, and her legs verticle against the crib. She's almost done a 360, I guess she needs to sleep longer to be able to do that. Nate escecially loves to see what she has done throughout the night, I usually wake up to him laughing and taking pictures. We just have too much fun with our little girl!

The past month...

It's been a month since we had Abby. The time just flew by, but I have loved every minute of being a mom... yes, even when I wake up in the middle of the night to feed her. Anyway, here are some pictures of what we've been up to for the past month....

One of her first baths after her umbilical cord fell outThis was after a long day, I actually fell asleep like this... Nate loved it.

Abby met lots of her family, here is a picture of all the Anderson grandkids (this is the best one I could get, Abby was asleep during the whole thing and the rest were not really up for the pictures). Top: Michael, Jacob, Karli, Middle: Perry, Abby, and Bottom: Daniel, Kanela, and Zackary.
Abby did a lot of sleeping, and these are some of my favorite pictures of her

Like father like Daughter

Love the smashed face
Movie night

We've gotten a few smiles from her, but of course it's near impossible to actually get them on camera. Here's the best one we've gotten

All her weight is going to her chin.. ha ha!

My 2 loves

Here's a funny video of Abby sleeping.

Another photo shoot.....

Here are a couple pictures from a photo shoot we had for Abby. She was only 9 days old in these pictures, and she was such a good baby throughout the whole thing. Tania took these pictures for us. She is such a good photographer. Thanks Tania!

Abby started giving Nate a hickey in this picture, so cute.
Daddy's girl

She got the Schneider feet. Thanks Grandpa Jack!!!

Just chillin

Abby is 3 weeks today! She is an amazing baby. She has so many of her Daddy's features it's incredible. She has already grown 2 inches and gained 10oz (as of last week). She is super long, we're already convinced that she'll make a good volleyball or basketball player, and I'm sure she'll eventually be taller than me. She has lots of blonde hair, that I'm contantly brushing, I just hope she'll keep it. She only cries when she needs something. She sleeps and eats really good. We've had a couple days when she had a tummy ache, and she was a little fussy, but other than that she has been an angel!

Nate is in love! Everyday they take a nap together when Nate get's home from work. He is such a good Daddy, he loves to put her to sleep. We are just loving being parents, Abby bring so much love to our little family, and we are anxious to watch her learn and grow!
