Abigail in Modesto

This was our doctor - Dr. Yao, he was wonderful, everyone spoke very highly of him and said we were lucky to get him. Behind him was our very favorite nurse - Toni. We were blessed to have her a number of days - maybe 6 or 7? She was awesome, very breastfeeding friendly, so she helped me a lot with that. She was from Australia, so she had all kinds of funny names for Abigail, like little "Vegimite" or "Sweet Pea" or "Possum". God hooked us up with the best people while we were in Modesto.


The first time Daddy got to hold his little girl (since she was in the NICU), she spent her first night with us in the hospital room at Fresno Community.


My mom stayed with me to help a couple of days, when Doug had to go back to school.


Bonding with Abigail.


My Dad came to stay for a couple of days to help as well.

Pumpkin patch

Such potential to be a cute picture - didn't quite work out!


Abigail and Doug.


Corn maze.


He has a lot of fun running through the corn maze.


Maybe we need to go again!?! ;-)


"I've never seen a pumpking before"


"Who took my pumpkin?"


They gave Abigail this cute little pumpkin to take home - she liked to try to chew on it!
She also really liked playing with the hay and kicking her little feet.


And examining the hay.

Front yard Olympics

A few nights ago we were having "front yard Olympics" (just any kind of competition we come up with), and I challenged Doug to a game of "who can jump the furthest". Only thing was Doug had to compete while holding Noah. We marked our lines - jumped, and then kept increasing our distance. We had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. Do you want to know the really sad thing though? Doug still beat me, even while holding Noah!!! Uggh, something is not right! Maybe I need practice?

Talking SO much

Abigail is babbling quite a bit now, and it really seems like she is trying to communicate and form words. It almost sounded like Dada earlier while we were eating lunch. She sucks her thumb every so often also, which is kind of amusing.

Rolling over

Abigail rolled from her back to her tummy yesterday for the first time! (5 1/2 mos) She has been able to roll from her tummy to back for probably a month now, but doesn't do that too often either. I just went and got from the attic this little toy that she lays on and there ar\re toys dangling above on a bar and the bar curves on both sides of her. I remember Noah rolling towards the bars and that helped him to learn how to roll over - Abigail is doing the same thing just now - so cute.
