Abigail will turn 5 months old this week. It's hard to believe it's been that long since our little firecracker was born. She's been such a good and easy baby, which is definitely a blessing considering she's our third. She seems to be pretty laid back and easygoing unless she's sleepy, then she wants to eat and go to sleep! In the last week, she's started to scooch backwards whenever she has her tummy time. If I'm not careful she ends up under our ottoman (everything but her shoulders and head!). I have a feeling she'll be crawling a lot sooner than her big sister and brother. Within the last two weeks she's discovered Baby Einstein. Baby Newton is her favorite, she gets sooo excited when the puppets appear.

Olivia and Maxwell are getting back into their school routine after the Thanksgiving break. Maxwell is doing so well with his reading skills, he tries so hard and is very proud of himself when he masters a new skill. Olivia is starting practice tomorrow for the Science Olympiad, she's excited to find out what exactly is involved and excited to be working with some 5th graders! I'm so thankful that both Olivia and Maxwell have such a passion for school, let's pray that continues thru college!
