Abby! You have been here with us for 4 months and this one has been so enjoyable! You are mostly a super happy baby enjoying playing with our toes and looking at and talking to people! You love to stand up in our lap, reach for and manipulate toys and pulling and looking at anything with in reach. The other day I wore my shell necklace and you cooed and cooed at it! The other day you were 10 pounds 13 ounces, so you are likely close to 11 pounds. Your sleep is all over the place – but you usually string at least 7-8 hours at night. Sometime it includes a nice 5-6 hours and sometimes you are up every 2 ½ hours. Your naps are short but sometimes you surprise us with a nice 2-3 hour one. Like your sister did, you usually nap best in your carseat. You continue to reject the bottle or any type of pacifier. Mommy going back to work will be interesting!
It has been another very busy month for our family! We spent a couple of nights with your Great Grandma and Grandpa Carvers and celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in Mesa.
Then we
reorganized and packed up at Nana and Papa and headed to Loveland to spend some
time with the Browns and friends. We
are in transit for our big move to Hawaii. We’re excited to introduce you to
island life and to our friends and community in Kona in a few days. On your 4th months birthday we
had a big party with friends in Loveland.
You have met a lot of people this month! Uncle Chad got to come for the anniversary celebration and then
you met the Hanfts, Patricks, Eklunds, and Alsums for the first time at our
going away again party. You also met
cousins Dave, Kim, Morgan and Kiley, the Osborns and Burkes this month. 
Biggest Milestone: On the 25th you started belly laughing - I wasn't there, but sister dripped water on you in the bath and you busted up. I have some of the laughs on video! You've been getting closer and closer and we’ve been waiting for it to happen! You haven’t really given us another big laugh, but gave some smaller ones to daddy the other day. Your smile is contageous and big! We love you sweet Abby!!!
