9 months old!

Hey Everyone! I am 9 months old today...and SUCH a good and sweet girl. I have learned so much this past month...I am making fishy mouth kisses, I wave on command and I love to clap! I am "crawling" everywhere now. I've graduated to taking my naps on a cot at daycare (to transition to the big girl room at age 1!). I still don't take much in the way of a nap...30-40 minutes twice a day. But I am sleeping well at night so mommy and daddy are okay with that. I'm eating lots of baby foods now...and I hate green beans and peas. I will make myself gag and vomit when I eat them....so for now, we just do all the orange/yellow veggies. Hope you all enjoy my pictures from today and throughout the month!

Love, Abigail

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hey Everyone...I am now 8 months old and celebrated my first Christmas today. I had so much fun! We were here in Atlanta and it is snowing right now! I went outside for all of 15 seconds so daddy could take some pictures of me but it was too wet and cold to stay out long. I enjoyed opening my presents from mommy and daddy and Mimi/Papa. I love my new ball pit...I played in it all day. My new tricks?? I am crawling/scooting to where I want to be...and I can wave bye bye now...but not so much on command. I can shake my head no...but I am not really being defiant, just cute:) I'm getting so big now...well over 19 pounds and probably 29 inches? We'll see at my 9 month check up soon!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Happy Holidays from The Conns!

Tis the season!

Hey Everyone...tis the season to be 7 months old already! I'm sitting up really well and rolling everywhere...haven't figured out the crawling thing yet but mommy and daddy say they are okay with that! I've got 2 teeth now and I'm eating some yummy foods..started with rice cereal, then sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas and some prunes today (too much cereal and bananas:). Mommy and daddy are making the food themselves so far...we'll see how long that lasts! I had my first Thanksgiving and it was so much fun! We went up and stayed w/ Mimi and Papa (in Roswell, 20 minutes away) for 3 nights. Uncle Darren, Aunt Stephanie, Brendan and Maddie were there too. I got to play alot and had lots of people wanting to hold me...we even went to the park and I went on my first swing and slide. I am so excited for the month of December...we are going to spend my first Christmas here in Atlanta and start our new tradition. Mommy is gung ho that she is going to deck the halls...and I'll probably just try to put all the decorations in my mouth. We will head to Grammie and Grampa's house for New Years and get to see Uncle Pete, Aunt Holly and Cousin Jack too. I am such a blessing and mommy and daddy just love me to pieces. I got some 6 month pictures done which will be posted soon...but for now, enjoy the mamarazzi photos!!! XOXO Abigail

Happy Halloween!

Hi all...well, I survived my first Halloween experience just fine! Mommy and Daddy took me trick or treating with Uncle Judd/Aunt Heidi/Jacob and Coleman. We had lots of fun and I was the cutest pink bunny you ever saw. I chewed on my carrot all night! Until I fell asleep of course...

I had my 6 month shots today and I am so big! I was 27 3/4 inches (off the charts!) and 16 lb 14oz which is between the 50-75% for my age. Looks like I'll be long and skinny:) I did, however, also get my first ear infection. I've had a cold for about a week with a cough and ended up with an ear infection. I started an antibiotic today so I was not in a good mood today but I'm sleeping soundly now! Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow!!

Just wanted to update you all with my newest pictures...and did I tell you that I say "mama" all the time...someone around here says it is music to her ears:) Thanks for checking in!

Love, Abigail

6 months old!!!

Hey Everyone...sorry it's been so long since we updated our blog. Mommy says she will be better about it:) I am such a big girl now...I am 6 months old! I like to sit up by myself and I even started some rice cereal yesterday. I like the spoon more than the food but that's okay. We went to Hilton Head Island for a week and I was baptized at the church where mommy and daddy got married 2 years ago. I was such a good girl and I enjoyed seeing all my cousins/aunts/uncles/grandparents. Mommy and I stayed with Grammie and Grampa for a week after the baptism. It was so much fun. The mamarazzi was in full force there...I think there are 400 new pictures of me but here are only a few:) Thanks for checking in to see how big I've gotten!

5 months old now!!!!

Today is my 5 month birthday...mommy and daddy say I'm growing like a weed! I am rolling over from back to front all the time now. I like to do that at night and then get stuck on my belly and cry for mommy to come help me. I've pretty much been sleeping through the night...and doing really well with it. Naps??? Not so much. I don't really like them...and when I do nap, it's usually not for more than 45 minutes, if we're lucky! But I'm really happy and fun to be around all the time!

I'm getting so much more interactive now...I have taken a real liking to my brother Porter (the dog). He still doesn't care so much about me but he makes me smile and laugh all the time. Mommy got me a Jumperoo recently at a consignment sale, and while it takes up most of our living room, I love to jump around in it! Of course there is video of that....

We are getting ready for our big trip to Hilton Head on 10/9...Grammie and Grampa are renting a house and we are going to go for a vacation! We are going to have my baptism there at the church where mommy and daddy got married. I can't wait to see all my cousins and get to spend some time with everyone at the beach.

Hope you all enjoy seeing how big I am now...football season has started and of course, Mommy says I'm the cutest baby gator ever!!!

4 months old!

Hey everyone...can you believe I am 4 months old already? I am getting so big! I had my 4 month pediatrician appt today and I'm 14lb 14 oz, 26 inches long (mommy thinks they measured wrong-we remeasured when the nurse left the room and it was 25 1/4) and my noggin was 16 1/2 inches! Dr. Hutson says I'm doing great...we had no issues to discuss today except how now is the time to really get rid of my swaddler. :( Mommy is sad cause this makes me sleep better but we are going to just do it now, suffer through a few bad nights and just get rid of it! And the daycare will have to deal with it too:) I love my little doggy too...I like to rub his ears and paws while I'm falling asleep!

I am smiley all the time...except when it is time to go to sleep. Most nights I go right down but sometimes I'm still a little pistol (that's what mommy says). I'm really close to rolling over...my arm keeps getting in my way, otherwise, I'd already be doing it! Mommy and daddy are so excited to see all these developmental milestones being met and look forward to each one:) They love me so much and love to make me smile and laugh! Here are some of my recent pictures...
