Visiting Grandmas

Abby is half way through her first trip to visit all of her grandmas. So far we've had a fun, but eventful stay. Steve and I managed to remember all of Abby's things when we were packing up the car, but in the mad rush to get everything in before my appointment, we missed packing my bag. Luckily, Mom and I are roughly the same shirt size and I had put extra pants into one of Steve's bags. So, with a little shopping I was able to make sure I had clean clothes for the weekend too.

Abby smiled at us for the first time while she was alert on Friday (10 days old). I was telling her about her fingers, chin, lips, and nose and apparently the word fingers is funny to her because she just started smiling when I said it. She is getting to be pretty interactive when she is awake (which isn't often ~ she loves sleeping). Steve and I are SO fortunate to have a very content and happy baby. Between the two of us we can only recall about 3 or 4 incidents of real crying in the last 11 days, and most of those were related to outside factors, like needle sticks.

Well... we started typing this because Miss Abigail wanted to be wide awake after she had her 5 am bottle, but the click of the typing has put her to sleep, so I am going to take advantage of the opportunity to sleep for an hour or two more as well. We will add pictures from Abby's adventures when we are home next Monday. Until then take care :-)
