Had to come back and share with everyone! Abbey grabbed her rattle for the first time today and HELD ON TO IT! YAY! She had such a tight grip on it for about 10 minutes, shaking it all about! I'm so proud of her!

Jayne - Abbey has been slobbering on her hands for a while now - about three weeks. She shoves the whole thing in her mouth! But she has just recently discovered that they are HER hands and she can REALLY control them IYKWIM? She is so funny to watch because she just stares at her hand! Mind you - it only seems to be the right one at this stage. I try not to worry about where Abbey is at (developmentaly) in comparison to other babes because I know they are all different. Of course, it helps when one of the babes at mother's group is only a couple of days older than Abbey and they are both at the same stage!

Ryn - Yay for the arrival of your goodies! I hear you on having to curb the spending. I have to as well... I keep telling people I have to go back to work to support my "habit" - buying Abbey cute things! Hope you get more sleep tonight. And I hope your DH does those dishes!
