Abby's Baby Blessing

Erik blessed Abigail in church on Sunday, May 27. He gave a beautiful blessing. All of Erik's dad's family was there: Grandpa and Grandma Heiss, Uncle Karl and Aunt Karen Heiss and their daughter, Kaitlyn. Most of my family also attended the blessing. It was wonderful to have everyone there!Outside the church building with Erik's dad and grandparents

Here's Abigail in the blessing gown that Erik's grandma Heiss brought down with her from Michigan. Erik's great-aunt made it, and his great-grandfather was christened in it over 100 years ago! It was neat to have Abby blessed in it...I'm just glad she didn't spit up on it!

Family Reunion

Abigail has recently met some of her great grandparents! Erik's grandparents, Dick and Nancy Heiss, were the first to meet her. They made a lengthy detour from Charleston down to Atlanta on their way to Michigan back in April. Of course they were smitten with her....although they claim she's all Weiler!

Here's Abigail with Great-grandpa Heiss.
My grandparents, Dick and Nancy Weiler, flew down at the beginning of May to meet little Abigail (and watch my younger brother Seth compete in a state track meet). Erik and I invited them, as well as my parents and two of my siblings and their spouses, over to our condo one night for dinner. We finally got to use the china and silverware we got for our wedding!

Million Dollar Smile

I finally managed to grab the camera in time to catch one of Abby's smiles! Is that a million dollar smile, or what, Tracy?! Here's another one below. I got pretty lucky that day...

Cute Moments

Abby loves when Daddy comes home and plays with her. She has finally started smiling when she's awake! Erik is really good at coaxing them out of her.
I realized one day that I have taken nearly all the cute pictures of Abigail, so I'm not in any of them! The only ones I was in were from the first two weeks after Abby was born, when I was bedridden and...not looking my best. So I finally made Erik take a decent picture of me holding her.
Do I look like a mom yet? My doctor told me at my 6-week checkup the other day that I look like I'm 12. Some day I'm sure I'll appreciate that...
Can you tell Erik's tired of my constant picture-taking? (Abby is too, apparently...) I can't help it, though! I have to capture all her cute moments... and she's always having cute moments!

More cute moments with Dad...

This is what happens when Dad's on baby-duty... (No, he's not just averting the camera!)

We've got a pick-pocketer among us!

Caught red-handed! (Don't let the innocent face fool you...)
