Happy One Month Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Abigail Elizabeth Allen! You have survived your first month with us! That means you've made it through lots and lots of hugs, kisses and smotherings from your proud Big Brother (and from your parents, too!). We all Love you SO much. You have been a precious gift. You weigh about 10 pounds. You wear 3 month clothes and size 1 diapers. You are very long. You eat about every three hours and you celebrated your one month birthday by going from 10pm until 4am without waking up! I slept 5 1/2 uninterrupted hours for the first time in about seven months. I ask everyone to pray that you continue this!

You like to be held. You do not like to be awake and not be held. You do not like your bouncy. You do not like things that involve you being put down while awake. This is unfortunate for all of us. You do, however, like being on your stomach a whole lot. So if we have to put you down that would be the way to go except that (1) you'd fall asleep which is dangerous and (2) your brother would attack you. In a loving way, of course.

You can roll over from your back to your stomach and you can push up and hold your head up some when you are on your stomach. That's pretty much all you do. We're impressed and all, it's just not a lot to report. You sure are cute doing it, though!
