So is everyone ready for summer or what?! We certainly are!! I'm not ready for the humidity but I'm ready for the sun and warm weather...and most importantly-the beach!!! I can't wait to introduce Abby the Jersey Shore-even if she doesn't have a clue what's going on!
Everything here has been great, Abby is wonderful-as usual. There isn't too much to report, Abby did have a little cold last week, but she got over it pretty fast. Even though the Dr told us not to worry if she got sick since RSV season is over and she's other wise healthy, we were a little concerned because she was coughing for a few days, so we took her in for a checkup anyway. I think we did pretty good since she went over five months without being sick-it was bound to happen at some point. Abby did get weighed at the Dr--12lbs 8oz!!-that was higher than Matt and I both guessed. She is definitely packing on the lbs!
Other than the little cold, everything is great. Abby is smiling and talking-mostly yelling-at us more and making more eye contact, even though we can still see her right eye wander a bit, she's still making progress. We go back to the eye Dr in July and they'll decide whether to patch her-poor thing! She likes to just hang out and play, and she's getting more fun to play with since she's starting to smile when we try to play with her instead of staring at us like a couple of dorks! I keep telling her that she thinks she's such a big girl but she's really just my baby. She LOVES to stand all day long on us and we just can't get over how strong her little legs are, it's crazy! She also tries to pull herself up if she's laying down or sitting on our laps-I think she's over the baby thing! She has also started to push herself onto her back from her stomach, it's pretty funny because once she flops over she looks like she scares herself and just kind of lays there in shock!! Abby is definitely ready to get a move on!
And as for the summer we have lots planned. Matt's family is coming down for a few days in June, his mom, dad and brother are coming. Danny-Matt's brother-has yet to meet Abby so we're very excited. And of course we're excited for his parents to see Abby-and for us to see them-We always have a great time with them and we can't wait. We are also headed up to see them and the rest of the fam in Mass in August, again we're very excited for everyone to see Abby and we love a good road trip. Matt, Abby and I are headed down to the shore with my Aunt Jeanne and fam(did I mention how much I love her?? she hooked us up big time with a rental), in June, and we can't wait! This year has been so intense and we can't wait to relax. I'm not sure how Abby will do on the beach, it's probably a good thing she isn't on the move yet so she'll hopefully just hang with us and we don't have to chase her-next year I'm sure we're in for it. And wait until I get pictures of the cute pink bikini with ruffles on the butt-it's too cute! Sea Isle City or bust! We have about a million pictures of Miss Abby, and with everything we have going on we'll have a million more, so stay tuned...here are the latest few......

shouldn't someone be sleeping?!

daddy and Abby...
Abby standing like a big girl...checking things out...still no hair, but it's one cute bald head!



Abby giving daddy kisses....she's always trying to stick both hands in her mouth, even if there's a pacie already in it, and she doesn't wanna let go of those hands!
