Late notice

Surprisingly enough, I'm running a little behind on posting the latest and greatest of Abby's Big 0-1 Month Birthday. Who knew a tiny helpless life on your hands would be so involved? Abby's been doing wonderfully and it's insane to think that she's been here an entire month. It really feels like just yesterday that she was born. She had a huge growth spurt sometime in the last few weeks and she doesn't even look like the same tiny underweight little girl that we brought home. For comparison's sake...

From this at about 3 days old...


To THIS!

Where did my tiny little girl go? She went from 19th percentile in weight and 47th in height to 83RD (!) in weight and 81ST in height! She's HUUUGE compared to just a month ago! (And apparently huge compared to other babies too. She's just sturdy.) Of course, she's still got a giant noggin (86th in head size). I have a feeling that's going to stick around for good.

And she's not just getting bigger, she's getting a lot more active. She's learned how to coo enough to make her parents' hearts melt and she's a champion smiler. She loves the bird on her tummy time mat (I think her Aunt had a little talk with her about it). She still hates baths and tummy time with the fury of a thousand suns.

The baby wash says it's supposed to be calming. Abby disagrees.


Finally, I'm pretty sure that Abby had a strong part of the Saints winning the Superbowl because of her very adorable pro-Saints outfit made by her Mommy.

Geaux Saints! (Unless they're ever playing the Seahawks, then it's all blue for her!)
