Abby Weeks 3 thru 6 / Mimi and Gramps Visit

We were very blessed to have my dad come stay with us for 3 weeks and my Mom for 1.5 weeks during these weeks. Dad is the baby whisperer and so it was great to have his help with Abby. Mom is also awesome with babies as well as very helpful around the house. It really does take 4 adults to handle one newborn. :)




Abby is doing great. At 6 weeks she started sleeping through the night. She goes down between 9-11pm and then starting around 2am, needs some help staying asleep until about 6am when she gets up to feed. Never waking up hungry. This is a good 6 weeks earlier than Owen who was eating every three hours through the night until about 3 months. It's awesome! She prefers to be held through all naps. It's almost impossible to get her down in the crib for a nap, though we try. We figure the night sleep is a blessing, we'll take the holding her through naps thing for now. :)




While my parents were here we did a few day trips with them. We visited Amador which is sometimes called the "Little Napa." It's a small wine growing area with tasting room only about 30 minutes away from our house. It's still all free for the tasting rooms though, unlike Napa. Dad had an awesome time buying wine.



We also took Mom to San Francisco. We spent some time in the Exploratorium (I keep wanting to call it the Imaginarium). Owen loved it - tons of stuff for kids to explore and touch and play with. We also showed him the seal lions at Fisherman's Warf and had lunch there. Another really fun time!



Can't believe how fast this time is going. :)
