The inner beast was in there somewhere!

Abrie's devilish side has awoken!

Her newest things:

She absolutely HATES, and I mean HATES being in her stinkin' car seat and having to be in the car. Even 5-minute drives down to Giant are scream fests. It's quite comical to turn around to see the back seat and see Faith singing to Abrie, and Maddie sitting there with her fingers plugging her ears. If you ask either one of them a question, you get a "Huh?? Huh??" because they can't hear over the screaming. And, when I say screaming.. I mean Abrie does the hold-your-breath-so-Daddy-worries-you're-having-an-aneurism type screaming.

She is doing log rolls every which way these days, and its costly price? Her naps. This little woman will NOT sleep on her back; she hates her arms and legs flailing around. And, so this will have to be something she learns slowly and I honestly forget when Maddie and Faith would comfortably sleep in whatever position-- be it stomach or back. In the meantime though, it's a tenuous process of switching her constantly back to her stomach, and so her naps have been much shorter.

The girl is too precious though. She and her big sisters grow more and more attached and bonded with each passing day. The C. and the big B. just love how she is now talking "like an owl (or 'hoot hoot')" to them, and Faith is constantly squeezing her. They were more than overly excited when Abrie had a Tbsp. of rice cereal this morning, as this has been something they have been looking forward to since the day they both learned there would be a new baby. They are constantly stacking Gerber baby jars in the baby aisle of Giant and trying to persuade us to buy the ones that look tasty for Abrie. Ha. So, it will be fun for them as she progresses slowly through everything over the next month or two. 

Maddie and Faith both started rice cereal at exactly their 4-month appointment, but Abrie seemed quite ready, and she definitely was. She absolutely loved it. She kept putting her fist into her mouth and then licking off the excess rice, and Maddie loved cleaning her up with her bib while Faith kept giving her the trademark head rubs!
