11 months old!

It has been a wonderful & fast 11 months!  We cannot believe how fast the time has gone!  It seems like it was yesterday that Abby Gayle was born and we were going back and forth to the NICU.  Boy are we glad those days are over!  And what a blessing God has given to us! 
Abby Gayle is doing incredible!  You would never know what she had been through in her early days of life by looking at her now.  She has thrived!  And such a happy little girl!
This is what she is doing now:

She is crawling like a mad-woman!  You turn your head & she's gone!
She can go from a crouched position to standing without any assistance.
She is just about to be able to walk, she just doesn't have the courage to take the first step on her own! 
She will walk all day long behind her "lion walker" or "alligator walker". 
She is eating some table food like peas & mashed potatoes. 
She only babbles words and occasionally says "dadadada" or "babababa".  I can't seem to get her to say "mama"!  Otherwise, she just squeals!
She absolutely adores her brother!  To her, he hung the moon!  She gets so excited when she sees him at the end of the day!  Her little feet start kicking!  I have to stand away from him to assure she doesn't kick him in the face! 

It is hard to believe that we are about to celebrate her 1st birthday!  God is so good!  We are so thankful for the health that He gave her!

Here are some recent pictures:

We are Mobile! July 11, 2010

Abby Gayle is crawling! She is now 9 months old!  She loves that she can now go from point A to point B and retrieve her own toys!  Canon is not too happy about the fact that she can get to his monster trucks!  And of course, they go straight to her mouth!

Abby Gayle is doing great!  She has had no problems or issues with her tummy.  We just can't believe how God has completely healed her!  we are so thankful to Him for this little blessing (she's not so little anymore!)

She lights up the room when she smile!  and you cannot help but laugh when she squeals!  it's a wonderful sound and we wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!

Almost 8 Months old & 14.5 lbs BIG

Today Abby Gayle had a follow up appointment with the GI surgeon, Dr. Boswell. She got an A++++ report! She is doing marvelous, according to him! We do not have to see him until September and at that time we will schedule her surgery to correct the hernia (which has gotten much smaller since she is getting so big! 14.5 lbs big!) and give her a belly button. I know she doesn’t care right now, but she might when she gets older and wants to wear that bikini!  We just wanted to share her wonderful news! If it weren’t for the upcoming surgery, he would probably dismiss us and have us come as needed.

Abby Gayle is now sitting up!  She's able to see the world from a different perspective & she loves it!

She is doing so well.  She weighs 15 pounds and eats all the time!  We are still on formula, but also enjoys cereal with apples, pears, bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots or peas.  She also loves Yo Baby yogurt!  She is a great little eater. 
She had her first trip to the beach this past week!  She didn't know what to think about the sand in her toes!  And, of course, we had to keep it out of her mouth!  She also loves the pool!  She splashes her hands and feet around in the water.  I have a feeling she is going to love swimming as much as her brother does!
As for her health, she is doing marvelous!  We have eliminated all medications except Prevacid! Her tummy is working just as it is supposed to!  We will find out next week when her next (& hopefully final) surgery will be scheduled for.  We plan to do it by her 1 year birthday.  The surgery will be to fix the small hernia that she has.  It will be an outpatient & hopefully simple procedure.
Otherwise, theWiggins clan is doing great & enjoying the summer!
Love to all!
