Abby Abby Bo-Babby

So Abby is approaching her 2 month mark and even though she is still a teeny tiny baby girl that doesn't do more than eat, sleep and poop her pants, she has shown us a hardy mix of personality traits and funny little quirks.  For starters, the girl likes to eat! I mean she puts it DOWN.  Abby loves milk like a fat kid loves cake, and the only time she gets super fussy (to the point of turning purple in the face, actually) is when she wants to eat.  Unfortunately, Kelvey also learned very quickly that Abby's powerful appetite is coupled with her powerful sucking reflex.  Abby is relentless when feeding and tore Kelvey up pretty bad the first few weeks.  I have felt the power of Abby's chompers on my finger while giving her a finger pacifier, and I'm thankful I will never have to experience our little honey badger gnashing at my nipples.  Speaking of pacifiers, Abby doesn't really care for them too much.  You would think that a child with such a strong sucking reflex would latch onto anything remotely similar to a nipple, but not so with Abby.  She knows when you are trying to fool her and she will have none of it.  NONE OF IT.  She'll either spit the pacifier out or just cry around it most of the time.  This isn't so bad because she falls asleep pretty easily without it and it is a good sign that we will not have to deal with 5 yo still attached to her pacifier.
Another funny little thing we have noticed is that her chin often quivers for no reason.  It just seems to happen at random times.  You'll look down and there it is shaking as if we just took her out of the industrial baby freezer.  She also has a tendency to snort and grunt like a warthog as she wakes up, begs for food, tries to burrow in your arms to sleep, or just squeeze out a fart.  It's quite funny and Eli likes to make fun of her with us.  Eventually we will have to teach Eli not to tease his sister, but for now it's all fun and games and taking baths together:

(We recently started giving Abby baths in the big tub while Eli is taking his pre-bath poo and a few days ago Eli said, "I wanna get in with Abby".  So he hopped in and helped wash her.  Lately he has enjoyed helping by holding Abby's towel for me, all the while still sitting on the potty, as I take her out of the tub to dry off.)
