Goodbye training wheels!


For Colton's fourth birthday last December he got this cool Cars Lightning McQueen bike. This summer dad taught him how to ride it without training wheels. I was shocked how quickly he picked up on it. It must have been 1-2 days that they practiced before Colton took off like he'd been riding without them forever.

Abby's first week home.....

At this point Abby spends most of her life sleeping, eating and pooping. But I did catch this photo with her eyes partly open....



Abby had many visitors that first week. Everyone wanted to see the new little cutie.


Abby with great grandpa Putnam... the only great grandparent she will ever meet. :)


Abby with her oldest cousin Emrie...Emrie was sooo excited to meet Abby, she wasn't able to come to the hospital so she was one of the first to come to  our house to see her.


The girls with grandma Ann and one of grandma's best friend's, Cheryl.

Abby's first bath.....

Abby's first bath at home. She was not quite sure what to think of it.



Scruba a dub dub......a cute baby is in the tub!



Abby was not happy, her paci helped out a bit. Notice who is brushing her hair???? Olivia is such a helpful big sis.


Nothing like a freshly clean little newborn baby.

Abigail Kate is here!












July 14th 2010, was such an exciting day for our family.....Abigail Kate a.k.a. Abby was born. We have been anxiously awaiting her arrival...especially me. I don't think I could have gotten any bigger. :) This is the morning of the 14th right before I changed into my gown and they started the induction. 


Say goodbye to that belly...well a good portion of it anyway.


They started the induction at 9:15am and at 2:45pm Abby was born....she weighed 7lbs 7 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. She was perfect from head to toe and had a full head of dark hair.


Colton looked this same way in pictures of him when Liv was born....it's an emotional roller coaster for them too. :)

Baby Abby brought a gift for her big brother and sister to open when she arrived. Colton got a Star Wars helmet that makes noises and Olivia got a new baby doll that drinks from her bottle and goes pee.


Proud daddy!



Colton is such a sweet big brother.
