oh one more thing.

she does this adorable thing where she snuggles things against her cheek and sucks her thumb and rocks herself.  it's so cute.

she really likes this one teddy bear.  it's really soft - it's the gund teddy bear that says "it's a girl" it was a gift from my sister when i was in the hospital but abby really likes it.  she also has snuffy, who is equally soft but she likes that bear more, much to howie's dismay!

she likes blankets too. esp the muslin swaddling blankets.  she is like linus! she holds it against her face and stands there sucking her thumb (in the crib) or she snuggles up with it to go to sleep. sometimes we put it on her and she snuggles up into it, but i swear half the time when i am putting her to bed, she just wants to lay on top of it with it clutched in her fist.
