.5.months.

My baby girl turned 5 months old this past week (Tuesday, the 17th). I cannot believe it! She will soon be 6 months old meaning half a year has gone by! It's just crazy how fast time has gone by. She seems to do something new everyday now. My love for her grows so much each day. I love watching her play and just listening to her try to "talk." She truly is my life!

The past month she has been rolling over, eating "solid" foods, talking lots more, and playing LOTS! She rolls over more and more. We've had a few rough nights because she will roll over in her bed, then can't get back over. I have to come turn her, but she is getting better. She now will just stay sleeping on her stomach (sometimes). We eat "solid" food twice a day. Generally cereal in the morning mixed with a fruit, then a vegetable for dinner. We will soon add a third meal in there. Abby is definitely not like her mama. She has been talking up a storm! I guess she is just learning her noises. It's SO funny! And most of all - she LOVES to play!! We have a jumperoo, which is a stationary jumper that she likes. It has lots of toys on it to keep her occupied. She also has a door way jumper that she likes too! We take it with us when we go visit people - mainly cousin Em. Just recently, cousin Em loaned Abby her Jeep walker since she wasn't using it for a while. Abby LOVES it! It doesn't have too many toys on it, but she likes playing with the steering wheel on it. She's not too mobile in it yet, but it's coming! Of course she likes to just sit and play with some toys too. She constantly has something in her mouth these days - mainly her hand or some fingers. She loves to put the feet in there too! And we also play peek-a-boo alot!

We have been getting ready for Santa at our house. Jenn and I really want to start some traditions with our girls. Hopefully we can start a few this Christmas even-though they are still too young to know anything. I've been trying to get all my shopping done. I am ready for time off work to spend with my baby girl. Every second with her is precious!!

We've also been spending time with cousin Emily. She is just PRECIOUS and Abby LOVES her! She even wants to hold her already. ;) Check out Jenn's video on her blog. We are SO blessed to have these baby girls in our lives. They truly are miracles!!

Hopefully I can blog sooner next time. I am hoping to get a family photoshoot done next weekend. Need to get to work on our Christmas card this year!! Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!!

.1st.halloween.

Things have been CRAZY around here!!! I haven't had time to blog in a while, but things have been happening!! As most of you know I am now the proud aunt of beautiful little Emily Elaine!! She was born October 22nd (on her daddy's birthday) weighing in at 5 lbs, 13 ounces! To follow along with Emily, check out the Hobson blog. She is so precious and I still cannot believe she is here. She wasn't due until November 3rd, but she was in a hurry to get here.

We also got to have our first halloween for Miss Abby and Emily! I put off making a tutu for Abby's halloween outfit until the VERY last minute b/c things have been so crazy. But now I am SO glad I did because I got to make a little, itty, bitty tutu for Emily as well!! Also had to go out and make her a Halloween onesie (and it was still too big). Anyway, we had a great time! Bo had to work but was able to spend a few hours with us (thanks Chief)! We started off at Jenn's neighbor's house for some appetizer's. Then Bo, Abby, and I headed off to the carnival in Flowood to meet up with our good friend's Corey and Renee. It was PACKED!!! Abby LOVED it though! She got to see so many people in one place. ;) Then we headed back to Jenn's house to spend time with cousin Emmie. Abby was passed out at that point though.

Other than that, we are all FINALLY well in the Luckey household. It's been tough because Bo and Abby have been under the weather. They've had to keep their distance from baby Emily, which has been SO hard to do!! Abby went for her well-baby visit to see Dr. Joe last week and she checks out great! Got her 4 months shots, which went well. She screamed for a sec but was over it by the time we got to the car. We are still working on the solid baby foods. She doesn't seem to like it too much because it doesn't happen fast enough for her. We're working on it though.
