This weekend we braved the ocean, partied at two parties and most impressively Abigail is now facing out in her Baby Bjorn carrier--her world has opened up dramatically. She all of a sudden was craning her neck to see out of her carrier past her Mom's shoulders, so we turned her around and her eyes got wide taking it all in. When we passed under trees, she began to make sounds of discontentment, but as soon as we cleared the leaves and it wasn't dark anymore, she was quiet, and her eyes grew round again with wonder.Abigail is still sleeping like a champ. She's sleeping so well that we delayed our departure for Manhattan Beach by one hour because she slept in! We got our Zipcar at 7am thinking she'd be up around 5:30am, but since she woke up around 7:30am (all smiles too!), we didn't leave 'til 8. Yes, we like to get to the beach early, when it's not obscenely hot or atrociously crowded and, we can feel a great sense of accomplishment for having gotten out of the door so early and back while it's still morning. We had a good time at the beach. Although the water was a little cold to Abigail's liking. Check her out in her bathing suit (thanks Suzy for it) and her patriotic outfit here!
She's had a lot of practice building up her neck muscles, looking like a movie star, wearing "wigs" and she loves to see herself in the mirror. She doesn't know it's herself yet, but she sure does like looking at that baby! There's even more photos of her doing all these exciting things here. Daphne and Fink make an appearance too! (Three weeks worth of pictures!)
Tomorrow she'll be 12 weeks old--how did that happen?!
