how quickly a month passes!  i kept thinking i needed to come here & update but time just got away from me.

abby now has her two bottom teeth.  it's so cute to get a peek of them when she smiles or opens her mouth wide.  she does not want to let me open her mouth to look at them, in fact she really hates when you wipe her mouth too!

we go to the dr tomorrow for her checkup so i am looking forward to seeing how big she has gotten.  i am pretty sure she had some crazy growth spurt in the past few days.  the last three nights, she was so tired. she went to sleep at 5:30 after just drinking her bottle.  and she slept the whole night through too!

she seems back on her normal schedule now.  she generally has her bottle around 5:30 and then we usually give her her solid food at the same time as we have our dinner, which is usually about 6:30.  then she goes to bed around 7:15.  

i've been much better about reading to her.  it's kind of a challenge now because she wants to grab the book and put it in her mouth, but for the most part, i think she enjoys listening to me read, even if she can't totally understand the story.  and reading is supposed to help them understand language and patterns in language.  i do hope she loves to read. i would be so sad if she didn't!

anyway.  she is a lot of fun lately.  she is very giggly & happy.  she likes to "talk" which basically just sounds like her saying ba ba ba ba ba ba BA BA BA BA ABAAAAAAAAAAAAA really loud.  she enjoys sitting in the bumbo seat and being on her tummy.   she flips over pretty much right away if you lay her on her back. in fact, i don't really use her baby play gym anymore b/c she flips right into the side of it.   i may set up her other playmat b/c it has a bigger mat part.

she also sleeps on her tummy nearly all the time now.   i lay her on her back but she flips over right away.  sometimes she even sleeps with her knees tucked under her and her butt in the air. cutest thing ever!

hopefully i'll update again before another month passes :)
