Abby is 8 weeks old

Abby is 8 weeks old now, but in a week she will be two months old.

I don't want you to think that we have not been taking pictures over these last couple months I have not been on the blog, we have. Unfortunately I can not describe how busy we have been. I have been going to school every day except for Saturday and Sundays and by the time I get home I am so busy getting ready for dinner and my bath or shower. Depends on the day which one is my favorite. Anyway, now that Abby is in the picture (and a beautiful picture it is) we seem to be all over the place until it is bedtime. So I have not been on the computer much lately to update you.

Things are so much more busy with a baby in the house. Abby is still very little and likes to have mommy and daddy hold her ALL THE TIME!!! I think she is playing them, but she she has a convincing cry that makes all of us stop what we are doing to try to get it to stop. So far, the last couple days have been better than the first 6 weeks. For those six weeks, she would cry all the time and nothing seemed to make her happy. Even when I would hold her and kiss her, she would cry. But now, she really only gets upset when she is hungry or tired. I think it is because mommy and daddy started to let her sleep in her own room. Since she has moved into her room she is sleeping all night. Even last night she slept for almost 11 hours straight. I loved it.

What else... okay mommy and daddy just need to get rid of the swing cause Abby wants nothing to do with it. It is sure to get her to cry if they even get close to it. As for the bouncer... well that is a bit better. Abby is starting to get more tummy time and is trying hard to figure her legs out. I think I was walking when I was two months old so I don't know why she is taking her time.

I am doing good. I am really working hard on my sentences. I pretty much can say a full sentence getting all the parts right, for the most part. I love to sing and my favorite song is Twinkle Twinkle. I also like to sing Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts. Colors are old school and it is pretty hard to stump me. Numbers and counting are my new task. I can count to ten sometimes, but I am not sure if I really know what I am doing.

I am working really hard to learn my manners and am starting to get the whole yes ma'am no sir thing. Sometimes I surprise my mommy and daddy by saying withough being prompted. I also say thank you and your welcome, but again I like a reminder every now and then. As for dinner time, well I am as messy as ever, but before each meal I like to pray so leave me alone about the mess dad.

I am good about brushing my teeth and like to have a water before bed, if not for the hydration but the chance to dunk it in the sink.

I am not quite there as far as potty training, but give me a few more months and I think that will change. Don't count me out yet.

Okay.. well, mommy just got home so I need to get to bed. Oh, speaking of mommy... she is just wonderful. If it wasn't for her, who knows how messed up I would be.

Goodnight.
Gracie (and Abigail, buut she can't talk yet)
