How Sweet It Is...: April 2010

This past weekend held many things for our family, starting on Thursday. Thursday we made our first trip back to Texas with Abbie & our first trip back since January. We decided we would leave around 8 right after we fed her and then hopefully let her sleep as long as she could praying we didn't have to stop. Well, no such luck. At about 10:00 pm we got stuck in traffic outside Norman. Like takes you 40 minutes to go 5 miles traffic. Of course she woke up hungry & screaming. And go figure all the exits we could get to were closed! So, we got pulled over finally in Norman & got her fed. We made it to my parents house around 2 that morning!

Friday, my sweet Abbie girl was one month old. I can not believe it!! Time has flown by! I look back at pictures and realize just how much she has changed in one month. It makes me a little sad because I know she is going to grow out of this baby phase so quickly, but at the same time I am so excited to see her personality develop! Speaking of personalities, I prayed many times that she would have her daddy's laid back personality & not my impatient personality. As time passes I am seeing that I don't think this prayer was answered! She is quite fussy at times but I am sure it is just a phase that will pass...hopefully soon!! At one month she weighs 8 lbs. 1 oz. and is starting to sleep for some pretty good streches during the night. Last night we went 6 hours between feedings!

Friday was also the day that Abbie got to meet two new people, her great grandmother & Caden Kazmann. Colter & Casey made the trip up to my parents house so we could see each other after a long strech & so Caden and Abbie could meet. We had a great afternoon together & took lots of pictures!!

On Saturday she got to meet my cousins & their baby Ayden. We got to start a fun Easter tradition that we had a kids and dye Easter eggs to be hunted on Sunday. Needless to say Abbie slept through the experience but Eric & I had fun! Eric was the last one to finish trying his hardest to make a pink camo egg for Abbie!

On Sunday Abbie celebrated her first holiday, Easter!! We got ready that morning & headed to church and then on to my grandpartents house to snap some quick pictures with Abbie & her cousins. Then we headed out to Eric's parents new house to celebrate Easter with them. Here Abbie got to meet all five of her cousins, her aunts & uncles and her Poppy. We headed back to Tulsa and stoped to eat dinner a long the way. Our idea was to kill to birds with one stone & eat the same time Abbie did. I am happy to say we made it all the way home after that with no stops & a sleeping baby!!

Here are some pictures from the weekend!
