Abby: Week 22 AKA 5 Months Old!!

22 Weeks

This week definitely was a test in Mommy and Daddy's patience, but by the end of the week everything was made awesome.  Abby was still dealing with fighting off a tough cold and up most nights, but with Mommy and Daddy working together we managed to help her sleep a bit more which in turn helped us sleep better too.  We ended up back at the Doctor's office because Abby's school was concerned with her cough and wondered if it could possibly be Croup and then the next day they let us know they had a confirmed case of RSV (which is a respiratory virus) so in an abundance of caution since Abby still had this lingering cough and stuffy nose the Doctor felt they wanted to check her ears to make sure she didn't have an ear infection.  Luckily she's was good.  Doctor said her ears looked amazing and she just needed a few more days to get over this pesky cold.  By the end of the week she was starting to feel better and sleeping better at night which everybody needed.

We started eating some rice cereal this week.  I'm so pleasantly surprised at how well Abby did with eating from a spoon.  Figures my piggy pants would be great at eating with a spoon.  LOL! She not only did well with the spoon she actually liked the cereal too.  Our next step is to start slowly introducing some foods in with the cereal.  It's going to be fun to see what Abby likes and doesn't like.  

Soooo.....on to the way more exciting news!  Little Miss Pants rolled over this week!!!  She had previously rolled from her belly to her back, but she still couldn't quite get past her shoulder going from her back to her belly.  This week it finally clicked for her and now she has become quiet the little pro.  Changing diapers is now exciting because all she wants to do is roll over.  It's a challenge to get a diaper on her and fastened while she is trying to flip over.  :)

She even showed Nana and Uncle Kevin how she can roll over during our weekly Skype session on Sunday morning.  We only have 9 days left until we head to Maine for Abby's first visit!!  We are so excited!!

And of course we can't forget that Little Miss Pants is officially 5 months old today!  She amazes me everyday.  Not only is she rolling over, she is getting so much better at sitting up, reaching for toys, grasping things, and she is showing so much concentration.  She is growing and learning new things which is going to make this a great time to fly home and meet the rest of the family.  She is going to have so much fun playing with them and I know they will have so much fun playing with her.
