Aideen's Blessing

We blessed Aideen on June 1st 2014, in the Elkridge Ward at our church. Lucas gave a beautiful blessing. Aideen's dress was beautiful, with shamrocks embroidered all over it. We had lots of family in town from both sides, and really felt the love from all of them. We are so blessed to have this little angel, Aideen Catríona in our family.

Isla is 3

Isla's 3rd Birthday just happened to be the same weekend that we had Aideen's baby blessing. So, we had lots of family in town for these two special days for our girls. Isla was so excited for her birthday. I made her a princess cake, which she loved. We had all the family come over for a party and Isla got to open her gifts from the cousins. Her actual birthday was the next day, so we had her open her family gifts the next morning. She loved her princess tent that she got and her Minnie Mouse dress and heels. This girl is a little gem. She's always seemed older than she is. She grew up too fast in my mind and I miss my little baby. Isla is so sweet and loves to be cuddled. She loves to sing and from a very early age, she loved to dance. She hears a music beat and will start dancing around the room. She is a great big sister and loves Aideen. She is very helpful and loves to help me when I cook. We love our Isla Maeve.

Aideen at 2 months

This lil puddin showed her personality this month. She is a fiesty little mama. She knows what she wants and she loves being around this noisy bunch. When I try to put her in a quiet room to go to sleep, she won't sleep for long. She sleeps better in the mad chaos that is our house. She loves her swing. She has started smiling this month and it is the sweetest thing to see her eyes light up with a smile. We love our little girl.

Aideen at 1 month

This first month of Aideen's birth has flown by so fast. I can't believe it. I am trying to savor every moment with her because she changes and grows every day. Aideen, like all my babies is a great baby. Pretty easy to please. She's doing great nursing and has long 3-4 hour naps a few times a day. She wakes up about 2 times every night. She loves mom and dad's bed and wakes up the minute I move her out of the bed to her bassinet. Aideen loves her swing and it really keeps her content when she is fussy. She has started to smile and make eye contact which is so awesome to see. Her whole face lights up when she smiles. Niamh and Isla are always there, wanting to hold her or check if she is awake or asleep. Aideen is going to have two shadows with her as she grows up, no doubt. Gavin and Tyrone love to take turns holding her too, but are scared to death they will be asked to change a diaper :) We are so blessed with our little angel Aideen Catríona and can't wait to see how she continues to develop and grow.

Happy Easter

Welcome Aideen Catríona Abbott

We welcomed baby #5 to our family on April 14, 2014. Aideen Catríona was born on Monday night at 9:24pm. She weighed 9lbs 2oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. She was perfect and looked a lot like each of her siblings. She had dark brown hair and chubby cheeks. She is a little angel. Each of the kids were so excited to finally meet her and couldn't wait to hold her. We are so blessed to finally have this little angel in our home. She is such a good baby and so even tempered. There is a fight every time over who gets to hold her and each of the kids love to come in every morning to say good morning to her. We are having fun adjusting to our new family of 7.

Tyrone's Baptism

Tyrone was baptized on March 29 in the Elk Ridge Ward. We had all our family on both sides and lots of friends who came to show their love and support for Tyrone. It was a very special day. We are so proud of Tyrone's decision to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
