2 Weeks Old

Two whole weeks!!! And a few days. We are sure that Abigail is a very advanced child... though we may be a little biased of course. She's has had visits from a large number of family over the last two weeks, and went to church with us for the first time on Sunday. We have taken to letting her have some "playtime" every day, usually putting on her playmat which has several brightly coloured toys for her to look at. Deborah says she definitely batted one with her hand, but that may have been accidental...

Today, after a visit to Dobbie's garden centre in Stirling and then another mammoth feed, she had her first experience of her new bouncer chair with builtin vibration. She seemed very taken with it, apparently enjoying the raised vantage-point and, again, overhanging toys. All of her grandparents were present, so of course there were 3 cameras and a video camera recording the event. I took this fun picture looking through one of the toys and thought it needed to be shared with the world!

Abigail had her first visit from a health visitor on Monday, and was pronounced as doing very well. Most encouraging of all was the news that her weight was 7lbs 7.5oz! That's 5.5oz up on her birth weight and confirms what a good job her momma is doing of keeping her well fed!

Tomorrow, we are heading for her other grandparents house to spend the week. More to follow.

I'm not sure I have your most current email address, but maybe you've just been too busy...

Anyway, Abigail is beautiful!
