Adventures of Paul and Jenn

Abby is almost 9 months!  Wow does time sure fly!

Abby is doing well at her school (daycare).  She really likes to go.  She gets really excited when we ask if she's ready to go to school.  She loves her teachers.  She likes playing with the other babies but is also very happy to play by herself.  She never gets upset when I leave, but will get upset if she knows I am there and I don't come into the room right away to get her!  She thinks it's funny when I leave and tell her that her assignment for that day is to start crawling.  She will probably be walking before crawling!


At her 6 month checkup, she was 17 pounds and 26 inches long!  She has her 9 month checkup in a few weeks as well as her first vision check and her next Parents as Teachers visit.  Abby is still on breastmilk and we haven't had to supplement with formula (Yay for Mom!).  She has been eating cereal and solids for almost 5 months now.  She tends to only eat one type of food at a time.  She gets a taste for something and won't eat anything else.  I can see we might have a battle later with this.  We have her on an organic only diet and most of her baby food is homemade.  We want to make sure to not feed her anything that has herbicides, pesticides, GMOs, or extra supplements that she doesn't need.  Her current love is butternut squash and corn!  Soon, Abby will have her first goat at Grandma's farm.  Her goat will provide her will her dairy needs.  Goat milk is very similar to breastmilk and it breaks down fast within the digestive system.  Goat milk is great for those with dairy allergies for this reason.  Dairy allergies run in my family so we are giving Abby a chance for her digestive system to mature before she experiences cow milk.

We made a trip to Texas for Thanksgiving to visit Nana and Grandpa Novogoratz.  The trip was a lot easier than in June since we recently joined the Minivan Brigade!  Abby had lots of fun playing with Uncle Matt and screaming at Uncle Jamie.

Where's Abby?  There she is!

Do not let Porsche inside.  This is my house!
