Thanks for family and friends

We had a great Thanksgiving with Dan's family in Bourne. Abby slept through dinner which was a real blessing for her mom and dad. On Friday we visited with friends in Brewster but we forgot to bring our camera and theirs was out of batteries. We rounded out the weekend by introducing Abby to her Great-Grandfather Pearson (GGP).

This Bear Suit is Cute

and nice and warm for today's cold weather.

Bath Time!

We gave Abby her first actual bath. Up until now, we've only done sponge baths. She was upset initially, but then calmed down once she was fully in the warm water. Getting out of the bath was another story.

Priya and Amir

Priya (Becca's college roommate) and her husband Amir came to visit and meet Abby.

Fuzzi Bunz

How cute is Abby in her Fuzzi Bunz (new school cloth diapers)! Thanks to Heath and Kelly for loaning them to us.

Yes, we really need to cut her fingernails. Right after I took this picture I took off the mittens to change her shirt and she scratched me on the nose.

First Bottle

After reading about how hard it is for some babies to take the bottle, Abby took the bottle on the first attempt! She made a face that was very clearly "this nipple tastes bad" but then ravenously attacked it. So smart!

On a side note, I swear I don't just wear white T-shirts every day. I wear nicer shirts to work, which I find uncomfortable, so I shed them as soon as I get home. As a result, most pictures of Abby & Daddy feature me looking like this.

Champion Eater!

No picture for this post.

At her 1 month check-up, Abby had gained 2 pounds and almost an inch over the last three weeks and provided a first time spectacle for her doctor: sneeze-powered projectile poop. Luckily it doesn't smell and it all stayed on the examination table liner. (Abby, if you are grown-up and reading this, I hope you are not embarrassed.)
