Time's a flyin'

So, Abigail is almost 7 months. That is unbelievable to me. About once a month I go thru all the pix I have of her (it takes me forever!) and I can't believe how much she has grown and changed in such a short period of time! We went to the Dr's this week. She weighs 16 lbs and is measuring at 26.6". This puts her in the 37th and 68th percentiles, respectively. Her head has finally passed the 10th percentile mark and gone into the 11th...I am so thankful for the small head! She is doing perfectly he said.

She learned to wave about a month ago, but now can do it with her hands. When I get back from the gym in the morning, she greets me with a big smile and a hand wave, I melt every time. She has two little nubs growing on the bottom gum. They are so cute! Who would have ever thought that teeth could be so cute. Matt says I say that about everything...duh! She is very interested in crawling even though she doesn't quite have the strength yet. Thank God! I am definitely not hoping for that anytime soon. But it is darling to watch her try to go from sitting up to down on all fours. When I first put her in her crib I thought that all the stuffed things were there for me to look at. I have now realized that I am wrong! She just wasn't old enough to be interested in them yet...I should have known. Now she plays for long periods of time in her crib and loves it. There is a picture of her sleeping underneath a bunch of them. It cracks me up. She is so full of life and loves to chat about mamamamamamas and babababababas. Figures. I am becoming an expert in discussing these issues. She is fascinated with the dog. Every time she sees Roxanne, she giggles and then follows her with not only her eyes, but her entire body. Check out the over-the-couch move.

Fall has finally hit us. The weather was down today, about 85 at it's peak, which is like cold to us...haha...But it is really nice because we can run more easily. A month ago, we would have to run before 6AM, today I went at 5PM. It was fabulous. Matt and I are training for the Rock and Roll half marathon in January. We only started about 2 weeks ago, but so far, so good. It is nice to be into a routine again and have a goal to work towards. I am sure not running 10 miles a day, but I am much better off than I was even 2 weeks ago. So, we'll see how it goes.

We are planning for the holidays early. Matt will be in San Diego for Halloween, sad for us both. We wanted to take the baby around the neighborhood in a cute little costume. So, more pix messages I guess. Thanksgiving is at our house and both families are coming along with a few friends. We are working out a 6 course menu that will be phenomenal!!! I can't wait. I am so smart for marrying a chef! Xmas will be here as well, I am tired of traveling! Probably will be quiet, but that is okay with me! Then again, it is never quiet with the baby! I am so excited to give Abs wrapping paper!

We have been so busy running around, now that the temp is dropping, that we haven't taken many pix. Sorry, the next will be many!
