8 Weeks

This past week, Abigail has become quite the drool monster!  She's drooling like crazy, which makes me wonder if she's teething already.  It's too early for that, isn't it?  Ever since she's discovered her tongue, and that she can swirl around and push her spit out, she's been drooling constantly.  Apparently, she finds it pretty entertaining, since she is perfectly fine sitting, drooling and laughing to herself.  It's pretty darn cute! :)

Other than that, this past week, we've realized how much Abbie loves her mobile.  I put her in her crib sometimes with the mobile running, just so that I can do a couple things while still making sure that she's safe, happy and entertained. We got her the pink Princess mobile by Tiny Love, and she loves it!  It was the only mobile that would match her room, that still also got good ratings on Amazon.com, and also had the features we were looking for.  Anyways, she could just lay in her crib and stare at the little things spin around and listen to the music all day.  She just waves her arms and kicks her legs happily while smiling at the little flowers and animals spinning around and around.  The mobile also came with a remote control so we can turn it on or off from across the room...and it was pretty funny to see her reaction when we'd turn it off.  She'd have the saddest face and start whimpering.  But as soon as we start it back up, she'd have the biggest smile and start cooing and making her happy noises.

...starting to get concerned that her little friends stopped moving.  haha

Besides it being cute, it's also really neat to see that she's gotten so good at tracking, and she is able to notice changes in the stimulus around her.  What a smart girl! :)

Other than that, we've been working on tummy time with the baby.  She's not too fond of it, but she's getting better at lifting her neck.

She usually starts off pretty happy, but after a couple minutes, she can get a bit frustrated.

Next week, Abigail will be 2 months old!  I had always heard from friends who have kids to cherish every moment with her because time will just fly by....but WOW.  No kidding.  I can't believe that we've already spent 2 months with our little love.  It's just been so amazing to watch how she's growing so fast and constantly learning.  I'm loving every second of it!!!!

Oh yes, and also because she'll be 2 months, she's also got her 2-month doctors appointment, where she will be receiving her first shots.  :(   Although I know that it's completely necessary for her to receive her immunizations, I'm scared to bring her to the doctor to get them because I know that she won't like them.  But we're ready, and have some baby Tylenol ready too, just in case.
