Week 9
Abby officially turned 2 months old this week! Her official 2 months fell on her Great Gram Mason's birthday! Time is flying by so fast. I know that seems to be a repetitive statement from me, but it's so true. I feel like I'm going to be saying that for the next 20 years.
This week was again mostly Mommy at work, not really working, looking at photos and videos of Abby and showing them to anybody who would listen to me gush about her. I did manage to get some work done this week. Abby had her 2 month check up with the doctor today. She is now 12 lbs 5 oz and 23 1/4 inches tall!!!! She's a growing girl! She seems to be in great overall health. Since Mommy had to be at work, Daddy worked from home so he and Nana could take her to her appointment. When they are this young, they prefer a parent bring them to the appointment so we couldn't just let Nana take her. Poor little girl got three shots while at the doctor's office. Mommy was told she was NOT a happy camper getting those. She felt like crap the rest of the day and just wanted to snuggle with Mom as soon as I got home. Mommy wished more than anything I could take away the pain, but all I could do was hold her and rock her. I'd like to think that in a way, that helped.
Here is Abby at 2 month old.

Abby had a good week with Nana. She does a lot of playing on her mat and they even got to spend a couple of days outside because it wasn't blisteringly hot out. Nana said they went on two walks in one day. Abby loves her walks, she falls asleep every time. Abby is getting much stronger. She holds her head up for quite a bit on her own. We bought a play seat for her at one of the consignment shops, but she's not quite able to use it yet. She needs a little more neck and core strength. Nana said she put her in it with a blanket around her back to give her support, but she would still just fall to the side so we will have to wait a little longer until she is able to sit up on her own for that toy.
In the meantime, we got another toy for her that she can use now. It's a Fisher Price Learning Chair. Yup, picked it up at a consignment sale. I live for those things!! We cleaned it all up and let her play in it and she really liked it. It has lights and sounds and bright colors that she loves to look at. I think it was a great find. We even ran into the woman selling it and she said her two year old son loved it and was mad at her for selling it. :)
Everybody asks how Abby is sleeping. Well, I'm happy to report that she has been consistently sleeping great at night. She eats around 9-9:30 and goes to bed by 10. She sleeps until 3 when she is ready to eat again and then back to sleep until she gets up around 6:30. She started doing this a few days before Mommy had to go back to work. Thanks kid! It's like you knew I needed more sleep in order to function at work.
We also went to visit Doug, Missy and Brayden this week. It was the first time Abby had spent time at a different house for a while. She did pretty good, but we've noticed she is starting to show signs of separation anxiety when she is not with Mommy. We worked on that a little by letting Missy hold her until she realized she was ok. She put up a little bit of a fight, but once she realized she was perfectly fine she calmed down and fell asleep in Missy's arms. Mommy is thinking transitioning into daycare is going to be difficult. :( We'll get through it though.
This was a good week for Abby. She is growing up so fast! (I know, I'm a broken record!) We'll see what the following weeks have in store for us. :)
