Christmas in Pittsburg

This weekend we went to Pittsburg for our Matkin Christmas celebration. We had a great time. Abby got to meet Grandmother.

Mary Grace and Garrett entertained Abby.





Abby's first long trip in the car. She did great! She slept the whole way.

A Special Visit

Abby had a visit from her three Zeta Aunts two weekends ago. Ruth made a special trip from Austin to meet Abby before she moves to China. Thanks for coming Ruth. It meant the world to me!






Splish Splash

Abby loves her bath! It is a big event every night. Brent and I both give it to her and of course Chloe has to come in and watch.

Getting to Know Our Little Cupcake

Abby can really stick out that bottom lip. She already knows how to get what she wants.



Abby's watchdog is always on guard when Abby is swinging.


Our Little Christmas Present


GiGi stayed with us the second week. I enjoyed my naps and outings while GiGi babysat. Thanks GiGi!



Favorite Positions










Nonnie stayed the first week with us. She was a big help! I learned a lot from her. Thanks Nonnie! Pops likes to drop by after work for his Abby fix! He taught us a secret to calm her down. Rub her feet!




Chloe has adjusted well to her new little friend! We are very relieved. I think she will be very protective of Abby.




Gotta have that bow! She has already outgrown her smallest headband!




Getting some sun!



Getting home from the hospital. Chloe is very curious!




Leaving the hospital


It took teamwork to get this little princess dressed for her trip home.























Thanksgiving

We were lucky to have both sides of our family together for Abby's first Thanksgiving.

Uncle Phil meets Abby.

Uncle Tommy and Abby Aunt Mary and Josh oohing and aahing over our little cupcake. Momo was a big help the week Abby came home. She loved to feed Abby and was most successful at getting a big burp out of her.
