Six month update.
I had hoped to keep this updated each month and look what happened! We had some trouble with our ISP but I think it's fixed now.

In two months Abby has learned all sorts of new things. She's eating cereal now and some fruit. She can sit up if you help her and most of the time she can stay up... but you can't go far or she'll topple over. :-)

She has found the comforts of sleeping on her stomach but usually just for naps. Although, I have found her on her stomach in the morning a few times, too.

She loves to giggle and is becoming quite ticklish. The wav file of her laugh is still out there.

I swear she can say 'Hi' but I guess it's just wishful thinking. She's trying to stand too! She's going to be a social butterfly, she just loves smiling at people. She has noticed Toby but he hasn't really noticed her yet. She loves my Mom's dog Fritz and he has noticed her! He likes her best right after she's eaten. ;-)

Four month update.
Well, as you can see, we've updated the look a little bit. Hopefully this will be easier to see the new pictures and will make sense as well. :-)

Abby is doing all sorts of new things now. She can grasp toys with her hands if you hand them to her. She sticks her tongue out and tries to imitate what you're saying to her. She can hold her head way up during tummy time! And she's still driving Mom crazy getting those socks and shoes off.

She has pretty much regulated her schedule and sleeps most nights from 9 in the evening till almost 8 in the morning -- yea!!!
Just this morning we were working on rolling over. She's getting the hang of it.

She laughs out loud and a lot too! Mom made a small audio file of it if anyone's interested.

We will try to update the pages at the end of each month with that month's pictures. Enjoy looking at the last couple months and check back soon. :-)

Happy Holidays to everyone,
Love Bill, Monica, Abby and Toby!

Seven Week Update
Added some more pictures of Abby. She's starting to look just like a little person... :-) She is definitely smiling at us and at her last visit to the doctor, she was up to 9 lbs 4 oz! Her favorite pastime so far is babbling to herself in her crib -- instead of sleeping there. ;-)
