Abigail's 1st Halloween!

For Abigail's first Halloween, she dressed up as a ladybug/princess! When I began to search for costumes, I had a hard time finding anything that would fit her. I was surprised at how little there was for her size! Thank goodness I found this awesome shop on Etsy that sold wings, a tutu, and a bow for an amazing price! I was sold and couldn't wait to dress her up!

On Halloween night, we went with some friends to one of the neighborhoods in Rockwall and went trick-or-treating with them. We had so much fun showing off Abigail and everyone loved how cute she was! She of course put on a great big show for everyone! We had a great time and got some super cute pictures that night. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Patch!

We took Abigail to the pumpkin patch here in Rockwall and had a great time! We visited the Blasé Family Farm and had a great experience! We invited Wes, Amanda, Audrey and Garrett to come along and had a fun day! Amanda was so nice to take some pictures of us after our camera stopped working. Thankfully they turned out great!

We woke up that morning and arrived at the farm. We had to make a slight detour when someone decided to have a giant dirty diaper right before we were about to go in! Mommy was so glad that it didn't get on your cute outfit that Gram bought you! We changed our diaper and were on our way!

We took some pictures by the pumpkins and then received feed for the animals and headed over to say hello!

 I think Abigail's face here is PRICELESS! Hahahahaha....

We had such a great time and can't wait to go back next year!

Abigail by the Month! (5)

Abigail turned 5 months old on October 1, 2012!

Abigail, this is what you are currently doing:

• You are now in 3 month clothes! Mommy had to clean out your closet and put away all your newborn/0-3 month clothes. It made her sad! :(
• You're still in size 1 diapers, but we're getting close to moving up to size 2!
• We're guessing you weigh around 11/11.5 lbs! You definitely have put on some weight this month and we're so glad. We can tell you're getting heavier!
• You're eating 6 oz now every 2-2.5 hrs!
• Mommy still nurses you in the morning when you wake up, when she gets home from school and then before bed. You have bottles of breastmilk when you're at the babysitters and we've also started adding a bottle of formula.
• Your naps are still not very consistent. You sleep anywhere from 30 min-2 hrs a day. I'm not too concerned though because of how great you're sleeping at night!
• You still sleep all though the night! Sleeps from 8:30-9 p.m until normally 6-7 a.m. This month you had several mornings when you woke up at 5/5:30 in the morning because you were hungry. I think it was your growth spurt though.
• You play more during the day and are really starting to focus more on everything around you!
• You still love to sit in your bumbo and bouncer.
• You still love playing on your play mat but when you're done you want to be picked up now!
• You still love to talk and make all sorts of noises!
• You still love your bath time!
• You still love riding in the car seat!
• Your hands are currently in your mouth ALL the time! You normally suck on your index fingers the most, but still no teeth.
• You are still drooling A LOT!
• You continue to do well at MDO. 
• You are still rolling around a lot and have been sitting up better, but still not on your own.
• You slept in your room in your bassinet for the first time on September 30th! Mommy was glued to the monitor but you did so great! We transitioned you to your crib the next week and you did great with that too!
• You still sleep in your swaddle and Mommy rocks you to sleep at night. I love our night time snuggles!
• You had your first trip to the pumpkin patch and took some amazing pictures! Our princess knows how to smile for the camera!
• You celebrated your first Halloween and dressed up as a ladybug princess. You stole the show and looked beautiful!
• You went to Nana & Papa's this month while Mommy celebrated her 10 year high school reunion. Everyone loved you!                                                                                  

You are growing way too fast baby girl! Slow down time! :)
