Birth Announcement

I made and printed Abigail's birth announcements, but never sent them out because I didn't have the right size envelope, and going anywhere with her and her oxygen tank when she got home was a task, so... unfortunately, it got moved to the bottom of the list.. and stayed there. But here it is!




Also, look how little she is! This was a few days after we brought her home.



Bringing you up to date

Now the more up to date news, Abigail is sitting up. Really, it makes me cringe because it means she'll soon be mobile, but I'm excited and glad for her development! She's also starting to eat baby food and so far, likes peaches, bananas, and sweet potatoes. Of course I started with the more yummy things. We've also (finally) transitioned to 3 naps. Sometimes that ends up being 2. Either way it is better than 4 or 5 1 hour naps!
Abigail loves to read books, and slobber on them.

This is her during a nap. Don't worry, the blanket has lots of holes and is very breathable!

Sitting up!


She can sit up for a few minutes at a time now.

This was when she had just started eating oatmeal.

The one where I drove by myself

In all my many trips to Utah, I have never driven by myself. So, naturally, I decided to make the trek with a baby. That's not alone, right? Luckily for me, Abigail is such a good baby! It did take us quite a bit longer to get there since we had to stop to eat every 3-4 hours, but all in all, it was a good trip. We went to celebrate my sister's 30th birthday! While we were there, Abigail got to meet a lot of my family, including her great grandma Knight, and all of our friends! Here are some pictures from that trip. juijki - a message from Abigail who is sitting on my lap:)

Catching up...

Since the last time I posted anything worthwhile, we've been up to lots!

At the beginning of March we took a trip to California! We went to Oakland to visit Sean's mission. It was a lot of fun, and I met some of the families he taught. I think Sean really enjoyed being back and remembering his time there. We also got to go sight-seeing in San Francisco. Since it was out of his mission boundaries, Sean had never been to San Fran before. We went to Alcatraz,

The Ghirardelli factory, 

Lombard street,

The Winchester Mansion,

The Oakland Zoo,

The Oakland Temple,

The Golden Gate Bridge,

and the Jelly Belly Factory.

After Oakland and San Francisco, we drove up to Chico to see my Grandparents so Abigail could meet them, and my mom and sister joined in on the fun. We had a good time!
