4 Weeks Old

Sweet little Abigail is now 4 weeks old and growing like crazy.  We have had such a great time watching her grow and change each and every day.

Today we went to the doctor and got a clean bill of health.  The doctor is very happy with how she is growing and how she is developing - makes for a happy set of parents!!  She is now 21.25 inches long and weighs in at 9 pounds 12 ounces.  I can tell that she has grown quite a bit since her last appointment, so it was nice to see the actual numbers.  Since she is doing so well, her next appointment will be when she is two months old!

This past week was a fun and different week for our house.  We left Matt here alone and Koda, Abigail and I went to my parents from Sunday to Thursday.  It was Abigail's first long car ride and she did amazingly wonderful - which is nice since we are the family who seems to travel lots!!!  Koda graciously shared his backseat with her and all went well.  We enjoyed our time visiting with family friends from the area, doing some shopping (including some Christmas shopping), and spending time at home in the evenings.  Abigail also got some serious grandma and grandpa time in.

Tomorrow we are going on another road trip down to visit Matt's family - Abigail needs some more grandma and grandpa time, along with meeting her great grandparents for the first time.  She will also be able to squeeze in some time with her aunt and uncle too - which is wonderful!!  We are all looking forward to going there and showing off our growing little girl!

This past week, Abby has continued to grow and change.  She wants to hold her head up on her own when you have her sitting straight up and she is kicking more and more when you hold her so her feet are touching something.  She doesn't mind "tummy time" and it won't be long until she learns to move and roll over!!!  She is still a talker, not sure what she always has to talk to us about, but she sure does make her voice heard.  Abigail is still sleeping and eating great and has learned to like baths as long as she is not cold.

We have all enjoyed watching her change and grow.  I totally understand the saying that time flies - it seems like she is growing faster than ever.  We have already had to go through her clothes and remove the newborn size since they were getting too small.  Crazy how fast our little girl is growing!

Here are a few snapshots from this past week - sorry nothing much since we were busy and didn't take too many pictures....until next time/post - enjoy!
