Happy New Year
December 2008 was a wonderful month for us! Here are the highlights:
- On December 17th, Abby turned 6 month old. We went to her six month checkup and here are her current stats:
* Height: 26 3/4 inches (80th percentile)
* Weight: 13 pounds 12 oz (10th percentile)
* Head Circumference: 16 1/4 inches (20th percentile)
We asked the doctor if he was worried about her being so skinny for her tall frame and he said that he thinks that she is just going to be built that way. Lucky girl... she got her daddy's genes.
- Thanksgiving weekend (I know that this is technically November) we went back to the Renaissance Festival (for the Christmas theme). It was possibly the coldest day of the entire year... but we bundled up and had a ton of fun.
- We had a chance to catch up with a ton of old friends turing December and Abby made some new friends. Stacey's daughter Raegan and Abby became fast friends as they are only one month apart in age. We can't wait to see them again!!
- Christmas week was spent with family. The first part of the Christmas break was with Kim's family. All of Abby's great grandparents were there as well as her grandparents and uncle David.
- Christmas Day we went to Jason's family's house. We had a fantastic time with Abby's grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, and Jason's aunts, uncle, and grandfather.
- New Years was spent with great friends! We went to Jimmy and Rochelle's house for a party and spent the night.

Armed with our New Year's resolutions, we travel into 2009 hoping that it is a healthy and happy year for everyone.

Thanksgiving Weekend
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We sure did! Jason, Abby, and I spent three nights at my parents house with my brother David. It was a wonderful break!! The holiday season always makes me look at my life and realize how fortunate that I have been so far.
My grandmother, Gigi, came over on Thursday to eat dinner with us. She looked great and seemed to be in really good spirits. Since her stroke she hasn't been able to talk but she is walking with a walker when she wants to and is pretty easy to understand.
During the trip, I asked David to take pictures of Abby (so I would have a Christmas card picture for this year). David is a photographer in L.A. and although he does not usually take pictures of children, he helped us out.
Photo Shoot Setup Pictures:

Abby Updates:
- She can roll over from her back to her tummy and back.
- She grabs everything that she can and puts it into her mouth.
- When swinging on a swing (sitting in my lap), she will bend and straighten her legs at the same time that I do. It is so cute.
- She is learning to sit up and sits propped up for long periods of time in her boppy.
- When on her tummy, she is starting to get the urge to crawl. You can tell she wants to move forward a little, but she still doesn't have the coordination to do anything about it.
- She loves to wave her hands in the air (I caught her on video).

Fabulous Fall
Abby Updates
Abigail is doing the typical 5 month baby things (she is 5 months on the 17th). She is putting everything in her mouth.
She is also chatting up a storm.
Kim and Jason's Nights Out
Last Thursday, Grandma and Grandpa Allen watched Abby while Jason and I went to a company party. On Friday, Nonna and Poppa came to watch Abby for the second night of the company party (my company throws fun company meetings with parties each night). Both nights Abby had a great time with her grandparents. Thanks guys!!
Here is pictures from the company party:
Zoo
The weather has been just perfect the last few days, so Jason and I took the opportunity to take Abby to the zoo. We know that she won't remember all of the fun that we had while we were there... but we will!

Happy Birthday Dylan!
Dylan's first birthday was November 2nd. This was Abby's first birthday party to attend and she slept through the whole thing! Unfortunitely my camera died, so I didn't get to take many pictures of all of the mayham... but it was crazy how many babies were there. :)
Here is Dylan with his cake:

Halloween
We had a nice Halloween week this year. On Monday morning at Abby's daycare, I realized that all of the children had Halloween costumes on. I must have missed the communication that told us that there would be a costume parade on Monday... and the another on Friday (the actual day of Halloween). Luckily Abby was too young to know that her mom had forgotten to dress her up for the first parade. There were other mothers who had forgotten as well... but their children were really upset with them.
Abby was the only baby in her class without a costume... so her teachers dressed her up in a costume that had been donated to the class last year. It fit her perfectly and looked really cute. Here is Abby in the borrowed costume:
On Halloween, I did remember to bring her costume... and I decided to stay for the parade. They have a little buggy for the children to sit in. Her class (the infant class) was the last to be wheeled through the parade - and they looked so cute (and a little scared).
There was a cat, a dog, a bear, a skeleton (Austin), a Mermaid (Abby), and a pumpkin (Ryan is the youngest in the class and cannot hold his head up enough to ride in the buggy yet).
After work/school, we went to Vincent's house (Kristin and Edwin's) to eat pizza and give candy to trick or treaters. Lily, Daniel, and Lucia came over as well. Vincent was dressed as a ghost and Lucia was a ballerina. They were so cute!!
