2 Month Check-Up!

Hello friends and family!

Abby had her 2 month check up on Thursday. She's apparently doing very well. Abby now weighs 11 pounds 10 ounces which puts her in the 75th percentile. Her length is 22 1/8 inches which puts her in the 50th percentile. The doctor says that she's doing great.

During her 2 month check up she got her first round of shots. They did hurt her and she did cry but fell asleep pretty quickly. We thought that would be it but an hour or two later she really got cranky. She wouldn't stop crying so we gave her a bath and a drop of Tylenol which put her to sleep for a little while. Afterwards she was her regular self again.

Abby's sleeping more and more through the nights. We have a good routine going on...bath, bottle, and bed. She LOVES her bath time. It's amazing how excited she gets when she gets in there. Anyhow, this routine helps her get to sleep at night and she's usually down for about 5-6 hours when she falls asleep.



We are really looking forward to the holidays. Josh and I are very thankful for our wonderful family and our beautiful daughter. We hope that everyone has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.

Love,

The Liles

Happy Halloween!!!

Sorry it's been so long since we posted. Abby has been a very busy girl!! I'm very lucky to have had Larry and Sue stop by this afternoon so I can get my two hands free to post a new update.

Josh's schedule was really weird last week. He had to work Saturday and then left on Sunday for Alabama to teach a class. So Abby and I decided on taking our first road trip together....just us girls!! We drove up to Kankakee, IL to visit the Saathoff family. Our aunts and uncles were so kind to open their homes to us. Even though we missed Josh immensely it helped being with family.

Abby was an awesome passenger. There were times when I was afraid that I forgot her back at home. I kept looking back to make sure I had put the car seat in the car. We had an awesome visit with our family. We stayed Saturday through Tuesday. On the way home we stopped by to see Abby's Great Great Grandmother Helen. She just thought that Abby was just so beautiful.

Saturday Abby dressed up as a mouse for Halloween. We went to Hillcrest Avenue just to see the decorations. For those aren't familiar with Hillcrest its a street just a couple of miles from our home that go all out for Halloween. Some houses just totally redecorate their whole front yard just for the one night. We finished the night at home giving out candy to the trick or treaters.



Abby is going to be 8 weeks old on Wednesday. I still can't believe how big she has gotten. She is just so alert and fun these days. We hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween. We hope to post again after her 2 month appointment on November 19. I've attached a 3 minute video of Abby admiring herself in the mirror. It is remarkable to see her own personality coming through. I can't help but wonder what traits she'll get from her dad and myself and which ones will be her own.

We love you all!!

Kristen, Josh, and Abigayle
