One Week

Time is flying by- Abby is 1 week old today!
It really does seem like she's been here so much longer- she just fits so perfectly into our family.

So far Abby:
-is an excellent sleeper- she spends basically every moment she can asleep.
-is a hungry little girl- during the day she eats every 1 1/2 to every 2 hours...usually it's 1 1/2...night time is completely different- she eats around 10:30, wakes up at 3/3:30, then stays asleep till about 7.  Wonderful Wonderful girl :)
-makes the cutest sounds.  Both Chris and I forgot about the sweet sounds little babies make...it makes me smile every single time.
-loves to have her hands free- just like Nathan- it's cute how much they are alike in some ways. She loves to fall asleep on me or Chris with her hands folded under her chin.
-likes to sleep on her side.  When I set her down she almost always snuggles up and twists so she on her side.
-looks adorable in pink, green, purple...everything! And my love affair with headbands has only just begun! It really is fun to have a little girl to dress up.
-is loved by Nathan.  He comes in our room every morning asking for Abby.  He loves to share his blankets with her and he will go give her kisses and hugs on his own throughout the day.  He always wants to know where she is.
-has her Dad wrapped around her little finger.  Chris can't get enough of her.  I'm pretty sure that if she could ask for things right now he was do anything she wanted.
To celebrate- Nathan, Abby, and I took a little walk this morning- our first of many! Then we went to the park when Chris came home. So far it' been a great first week! We're looking forward to all the fun times ahead!
