Day 1

I've seen so many people doing a 30 day thankful challenge, and instead of getting on facebook I want to blog. I don't get on here much and maybe and I only mean maybe, I will get to blogging at night when I can't sleep. Tonight I am thankful for my beautiful healthy happy baby girl. So many people don't know the trials and time behind us getting pregnant and bringing our sweet baby into this world at the right time. It brought so much heartache, tension and pain into our lives. It only takes one quick glance at her or even just finding one of her socks in my bed to take all my heartache away. This little girl has brought so much to my life in the last 8 months. I am so thankful to have her here. Everyday my heart heals a little more, and my eyes are opened to the beauty and magic of everything around us.

7 mo.

Abigail, you are 7 months old.

One of the many blurry pictures you let me take on Oct 5th.

Here are a few pictures from the last month.

 We visited  your newest Cousin Aleena

 You perfected your sitting & sit up all the time!

Cousin Cadin, decided he needed you to be his baby, he now does everything for you.

You were able to bond with Aunt Rachel.

You now ride in the big car seat in Grandma's car. I can't wait to get you one for our car!

You visit Stinky a bunch, and you also got your first pair of jean leggings!

Blurry, I know but you started to roll all over our bed in the am, and this is you stuck in between the head board and the mattress, I'm almost positive you said help after I took this picture.

Oh and speaking of talking, you say dada and baba. Baba is mostly said when you are sad. :( You had a random growth spurt and are in 9 & 12 month pants, but 6 month shirts still fit, you're too skinny for the bigger ones. You wear size 2 shoes and size 3 diapers still! You first tooth started coming in Oct 4th!

6 months.

Abigail on Sept 5 you turned 6 months old.

(blurry but oh well)

Weight:

Birth: 6 lbs 7 oz

6 months: 17 lbs 75%

Height:

Birth 20 in

6 months: 27 in 91%

And I don't have the numbers for your head measurements with me right now but I know you're head is in the 37% right now.

You've become really friendly with the puppies lately, we have to watch you because you love to abuse them. You pull their hair and giggle.

You went to a cabin for the first time.

You met your "Aunt" April when we went through the temple together.

This is that day.

You went to a Vicker's family reunion at the ghetto Cherry Hill.

You had a twinkie for the first time. well some filling.

 You started to go camping with cousin Cadin, in Grandma's living room under his Thomas tent, which in this picture is sideways because that's how you take naps in the tent while camping.

You found the baby in the mirror and love her!

 We had a mini photo shoot

 Cousin Cadin helped you get dressed,

 In this outfit, and you two became even closer.

You sit up amazingly well! You also make silly faces.

5 months.

Abigail, I can't believe you are 5 months already! (as of Aug 5th)

 You've grown so much in this last month. You are around 15 maybe 16ish lbs. I haven't measured your height yet. Though I know you've grown. Your hair is growing in so full. I love it. We started doing a little fohawk with your hair.

You can't see it in this picture we took, but it's there behind the flower, and you love it! You love the water still, so very much.

You played in an exersaucer for the first time this month. 

You loved it! You were so curious as to what everything did, at first we had to help you move around in it, but now you're doing it. You also will not sit down in it, you stand the whole time! 

Daddy isn't good at taking non blurry pictures, but you worked on your first big project with me. We're redoing our kitchen cabinets and you're my little helper, you follow me around everywhere! 

whoops, forgot to turn the pictures around! Anyway, you put yourself to sleep in your crib for a nap for the first time. Which got me to buy a monitor, and later caused me to put you in your crib to sleep. You do great! There are some nights when you just need mom and dad to sleep, and that's fine, but you usually sleep great alone. I'm so proud of you.

I've had to move you up in clothing size. You are now finally, wearing 3-6 month clothing. 3 and 0-3 still fit, but the pj's are too small in most 0-3. We bought you some adorable size 6 pjs from target! You love how your little feet hang out. You're always holding onto them!

You're also starting to bond with your dad. You snuggle up with him at night sometimes. He's even put you to sleep without having to nurse! It was amazing. You and daddy like to watch Blue's Clues and work on the computer together too! 

Finally!

It's been such a long time since I've posted on here! I've mostly posted on my own personal blog, and then copied and pasted it onto this blog with a few changes here and there. Life is great here for the Summers. We're slowly redoing and reorganizing our house. We started with our closet this last weekend. Hopefully today we can get our study all clean! Abigail is growing so fast! I can't believe she's already past the 4 month mark! Keep checking back for new posts! I'm working on getting some scheduled right now so we can update you on our little family!

First Time

Yesterday was Abigail's first time making cookies, and her first time sitting in the highchair. She had so much fun. We made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

First Time...

Today was Abigail's first time at church (besides herr baby blessing) she didn't want mom to sit still at all so we left about 20 minutes in. This picture is her all dressed up and ready to go.

Moab Part 1

So this past Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, we vacationed in Moab, UT. It was a nice getaway. We filled my parent's suburban, -- my parents, 2 of my sisters, my nephew Cadin, and of course Skyler, Abigail & I. It was so much fun to take a trip as a family. It was Abigail's first trip.

 Our first stop on Monday was at Dead Horse Point State Park

 The Moby Wrap was amazing until she wanted her daddy!

 We also went to Canyon Lands & because I can't hike very far with my hips and I carried baby we only got one picture on our short hike :) 

3 month

Abigail, I can't believe you're 3 months!! 

Weight: (as of 6/2) 12 lbs 12.5 oz

Height: I tried to measure you and I'm thinking it's around 23" but I could be way off.

Diapers: Size 1 fits but size 2 fits also, so we're slowly starting to transition to size 2!

Clothes: You fit in a few pairs of newborn pj's still! Oh my heck!  But you''re wearing 0-3 perfectly, some 3 and even a few 3-6 though they are pretty darn loose on you.

You had your first ear infection this month, your first doctors appointment (outside of wellness checks), you sat in the shopping cart for the first time

You went to Chuck E Cheese for the first time, and you're starting to pull yourself from laying down to sitting up, and even to standing! You're growing up way too fast for mommy
