She's got a good head on her shoulders...

And she can basically hold it up on her own now, when she is being held upright in your arms at least. One of the ways we spend "wake time" is by having "tummy time", during which she gets thoroughly frustrated with herself because she can't crawl or push herself up like she wants. Originally we thought she was pretty calm, but she can kick up a storm and loves to squirm all over the place, even out of your arms, if she was strong enough!

Suitable newborn headwear

Early attempt to find suitable newborn headwear...unsuccessful. :)

Picture site updated.

Unfortunantly, we can't store all of the pictures that we want to on this blog. So I have a site that I maintain, http://www.bobbyandchristina.us/, that is basically a photo archive. Any photo's linked from this blog will be to that site.

To bottle or not to bottle...

Don't tell the pediatrician but we decided to try the bottle tonight. Christina went out with the gals (first time in a long while) but going out meant the baby would miss dinner. Not an option. So I went out and purchased Abby's first bottle (Playtex VentAire). Dad was babysitting and it was time for Abby to eat so I broke out the bottle. Expecting to have to call Christina back home I tried for the first time...and...NO PROBLEM! I didn't have to trick her or anything! She drank 2oz I think.

Huge success for mother and baby (Got breastfeeding figured out...now the bottle too)...bad news for dad. First thing Christina said when she got home and found out all went well was "Great! Now you can take a turn in the middle of the night with feeding the baby!" Sweet...

New blog and Abby's first week.

Welcome to our blog! I know it (blog) sounds funny but so many people wanted to be kept up to date regarding the happenings of our family I figured this was the easiest way without clogging everyone's email (or costing me a fortune...this is free :). I also didn't want to disappoint those assuming I would have some high tech way of communicating to everyone. :)
