An update at last!! I know it's been forever since I've updated, and I figured I better do it before more time passes and I get even lazier! I'm a posting machine today, there are two other posts under this one, mostly of pictures, of our summer. We have had a packed summer, but it's been great-it flew by! Our last adventure was up to Massachusetts to see Matt's family, and we were so excited to see everyone. Before we left for Mass, Abby had an appointment at Chester County with someone from PT, and her neonatologist. They were thrilled to see how big Abby is-they both said they never get babies in with rolls like Abby has-she's got plenty for everyone!! They also said Abby looked great and is developing right on track. They were surprised at how well she sat up by herself and played-well mostly chewed-with all the toys. They were a little concerned that her verbal skills were a little behind and said she might need speech therapy, but that won't come for a while and since everything else is on track they weren't too concerned. Overall Abby is wonderful and we go back in November.
After our appointment we headed up to Mass, a six hour car ride. The ride up wasn't too bad, Abby was worn out from the appointment, and of course Roxy slept the whole way! Our visit to Mass was great, we had so much fun. We were happy that everyone was finally able to meet Abby and see how well she is doing. We kept busy while we were there. We spent a lot of time just hanging out with the family, and everyone was more than willing to help with Abby-although I don't think anyone was jumping to change any diapers!!! We also had some day trips. We took Abby to Martha's Vineyard, we went to see Uncle David on the Cape and Matt and I even went on a date. Luckily no one minded babysitting Abby-and Roxy, so Matt and I went out for drinks, dinner, and of course a little shopping. There was also a party for Matt's grandmother, (who just turned 96!) so we were able to see the rest of the family, most of whom we haven't seen since last summer or maybe even longer. We had a great time, looooong car ride and all. Hopefully we'll be seeing them again soon. Here are some pics from our trip.....

I know she looks like she's doing a push up! She's so close to crawling she just can't figure out how to move her arms and legs at the same times...
