8 Month Stats

Our little baby doll

See my new tooth! It's so white and shiny!Don't you think I have the cutest profile! ;)

Abigail is eight months old!!! Wow! She turned 8 months last Wednesday, so we made yet another trip to the Wellness Center for a weight check. She weighs 14 lbs 2 oz. She is still very small, but healthy and that is all that matters! She is reaching all her milestones and continues to amaze us daily. Here are some interesting tidbits about Abigail's life these days.
