Abigail's Photo Shoots




Abigail is such a trooper when it comes to getting her picture taken. It's very fun having a girl and dressing her in all of the pretty clothes she's received. We have our own little photo shoots often!


Everywhere I go, people are always telling me, "Abigail looks just like Matt!" I heard the same thing when Andrew was a baby. Here's a picture of the three of them together. What do you think?



Abigail spent several weeks determined to get her thumb in her mouth. Her hands were dry and chapped from all of the sucking. Well...she finally had success and is officially a thumb sucker (just like her mommy was). It's hard to complain too much, she's sleeping 9-10 hours at night and is good at soothing herself back to sleep!




Lets Play Ball!




Andrew's favorite past time is playing ball and we thought Abigail should get in on the action too!


Abigail is cheering for her favorite team, "Go Eags!" In her first two months of life, she's become quite the volleyball fan.



Boy's Weekend in Los Angeles, California


Matt spent Veteran's Day weekend hanging out with the boys and they had a great trip. They spent some time at the beach, went to the UCLA vs. ASU game at the Rose Bowl Stadium and enjoyed a Clippers vs. Cavaliers game at Staples Center. A weekend talking about fantasy basketball and sports...what more could Matt ask for?

Halloween and Harvest Party



Halloween was quite exciting for Andrew this year. He had a harvest party at school and went trick-or-treating with his cousins. After every house, he would run down the driveway with his pumpkin full of candy and yell, "Yeah!" When he woke up this morning, he was determined that he was going to have "just one piece of candy" before school. I'm sure I'll be hearing that a lot.

The day wasn't as fun for Abigail. She had her first set of shots at her 2 month check-up. I think that's the most she's cried in her entire two months of life. She would be peacefully sleeping during the day and all of a sudden start crying the saddest cry. I did however, still put her in her pumpkin costume for a few minutes of pictures. Does she look like a 14 lb. 1 oz. pumpkin?








Abigail's Baptism










Abigail was baptized on Sunday, October 28th. It was a special day shared with the baptism of her newest cousin Sean Anthony. Both children slept through the whole thing, even with the cold water poured on their heads. Abigail wore a special slip, gown and coat that was worn by her Grandma Joy and hand stitched by her Great-grandma Besta. Abigail is blessed to have Aaron and Megan Baltzell as her godparents. Afterwards we went to Grandma and Grandpa Heimbigner's house for brunch. With 9 kids running around...well 7 running and 2 being held, it was a crazy place. When it was time to go, we realized we hadn't taken a picture of Abigail and Sean together. Abigail was hungry and Sean was sleeping. We will try for a better photo shoot next time we're together!
