Eyes

Image
By
By far, my favorite feature of Abby's is her eyes...those deep, expressive eyes! 

The other night, we were having a little cuddle time before bed and she was just taking it all in with those look-into-your-soul peepers of hers.  As she was studying me, listening to me tell her how much I love her, her face suddenly broke into this beautiful, full-of-love smile.  And those eyes of hers were just about to burst!  The girl may not be able to talk yet, but she can sure let me know what she's thinking! 

I wanted to get a picture of all that smileyness, but I wasn't about to break the mood!  So, I took a mental snapshot and I won't soon forget that look. I L-O-V-E that girl.

To ease the pain of not getting to see the beautiful smile first hand, here are some other pictures of Abby in all of her expressive-eyes glory!

This was taken on her first full day of life.  She was so sick, but look at those eyes!
I'm not giving up, Momma!  I'm a fighter!

She was looking at her daddy here.  :)

I'm looking deep into your soul!

Uhhhh...is this safe, guys?  I'm not too sure about this...


Definitely up to no good...

Something is apparently very funny...or else she's making fun of somebody!

I love those pictures of when she was first born, they just seem to speak to my heart! When our little man was in the NICU and he was hooked up to the oxygen and ivs I just remember his big eyes just looking at us, it was almost as if he was comforting me, and not the other way around. :) Thanks for sharing your beautiful daughter!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it ...

Bath Time Photos!!

By
As promised, here are lots of photos of Abby's first bath. Caleb was supposed to be in bed, but the bathroom is right next to his room... "I'm not too sure about this..." Once she learned how to splash, she was all smiles! Her first good hair wash! Gotta protect the trach! She really liked getting water poured on her head.  It was cute! Smiley (and bubbly) for Daddy while he dried her off. All clean!!  (Note the Lysol wipes in that last picture.  They are NEVER far away!)

Imagination Movers Photo Recap

By
Seriously, The Imagination Movers were so much fun!  They played lots of their own music, with some classic rock mixed in for the adults.  There were also quite a few jokes and references to Baltimore, which was kind of fun.   The whole night centered around this robot named Rock-o-Matic, or "Rocko."   This is Mover Scott, and he wears Wobble Goggles that help him see new ideas.  Caleb and Abby have a pair of goggles too.  :) There are 4 main Movers that are part of the TV show, but they have 2 extra movers to play instruments and do back-up vocals in their live tour. Abby finished up her feed before the show started so that she would be free to dance! My dancing queen did NOT want to sit in my lap.  The row in front of us was empty, and that is where she stood almost the entire show--dancing the night away. My Imagination Movers  Caleb did his share of singing and dancing too.  He knows m...
