1 month old

Wow, Abigail is a month old today. The time has gone by so fast! She is still doing all of the typical new baby things. She continues to always be moving her arms or legs just like she did inside me! Her hand and arm movements are becoming more controlled so she has almost found her mouth with her hands but doesn't have quite that much control yet. She holds her head up like a champ, has from the day she was born, and constantly wants to be up on your shoulder looking around. Did I mention she's on the verge of smiling! That or she's got some serious issues with gas!

Abigail's second night in her crib proved to be a success. I put her in the crib at 10 p.m. and she didn't wake up to eat until 3:45 a.m. Of course the little piggy go up, ate and went right back to sleep until around 7 a.m. when Daddy got home. After a little soothing, we went back to sleep until around 8:30 a.m. Surprisingly, Austin slept in until 8:30 a.m. after sleeping all night too! He even went to sleep without me sitting in his room next to his bed last night! He did have to have music on, but at least I didn't have to be in the room!

All in all we had another successful night with just the kids and I. I even managed to give Austin a bath, however it was cut shorter than normal because his sister got hungry! He's done some adjusting the last couple of days and I must say that I'm really happy with the way he's been acting. He's such a big boy now, I'm so proud of him. I'm going to head to the grocery store this morning with both kids so that Daddy can get some sleep after working all night.

Here are a couple picture comparisons of how much she's grown in the last month. Also, the older she gets the more she looks and reminds me of Austin when he was a baby! If she's going to look anything like Austin, she's going to be the cutest girl around! (I'm not prejudice or anything!!!!)

I think Big Brother might have his work cut out for him, taking care of Baby Sister might be a big job. I agree they are both adorable.
