Christmas Tidbits
I know, I know. Three blog posts in one day. I'm just getting caught up. Slacker you might say? Well, I'm just too busy reading all of YOUR blogs!
We had a great Christmas. I am SO happy Abe is finally here to make our holiday season brighter than ever before. Adam and I decided to have a super low spending cap for our gifts this year so we could send my mom and dad to see Cirque Du Soleil's Beatles "Love" in Las Vegas. But, apparently Adam has magical powers and got a "super awesome" deal on the latest iPhone for me since my last one clunked out. Who has every heard of an iPhone for under $50 bucks? Magical powers indeed!
Anyhow, here are a few Christmas pics (more to come):

Abe & Canyon
Abe likes to hang out with his BFF, Canyon. They giggle and stare at each other every week while his mom, Tammy, and I chill.
Abe has started to love his jumper. His favorite part is gnawing on it since he is teething.
He sure can be a little devil..
...but I can't get enough of him.

California..
We recently (well, 2 months ago) flew down to San Diego to visit Adam's dad. While we were there, we went to the BYU/San Diego game. Abe had a major freak out right as we were getting out of the car, but slept on his Aunt Jen's lap for most of the game (thank goodness).
A trip to San Diego wouldn't be complete if we didn't go sailing at Mission Beach. Of course, it's never a dull moment with the Kolowich family, especially when they think it's funny to flip the sailboat. Luckily, I wasn't on it.
We then went to the beach to watch the sunset and to give Abe his first dip in the ocean. It was a great day with just our little family unit.
We ended the trip with a canceled early morning flight and a 5-hour delay at the airport. Poor kid is exhausted, as were his parents!

Abe @ 3 months..
A few days after his 3 month birthday, Abe rolled over. He decided to only give us a sneak-peek because he hasn't really done it since! He also loves to rock his BabyLegs and hang out on the quilt my friend Deb made.

Pure Happiness...
...here are a few pics from the last month or so. Abe is feeling much better and is a very happy baby (most of the time). I hope it lasts.
"Ne, ne ne, ne"

Wow!
I know I have talked with a lot of you about what has been going on with Abe. About 5 weeks ago we took Abe to Primary Children's ER since he was projectile vomiting and dehydrated. We spent 8 hours in a small room in the ER. In the room next to us there was a juvenile delinquent restrained and swearing loudly for 3 of the 8 hours. They hooked Abe up to fluids through an IV (which took 3 times to put in), did a catheter, and almost did a spinal tap. The worst part of all of this was that they wouldn't let us feed him. So, Abe screamed, and screamed and screamed. After numerous tests, they decided it was Pyloric Stenosis (which oddly enough my older sister and my nephew Koy had as tiny babies as well). They finally decided to admit him at 10:30pm (we had been there since 2pm) and put him on the surgery list for the next day. Since we were an add-on surgery they weren't really sure when the actual surgery would happen so they made us starve Abe until after the surgery. By the time they wheeled him away, he hadn't eaten for over 24 hours. The surgery was a success and we were able to give him extremely small amounts of glucose water and then formula--which didn't make Abe happy at all. Here are a couple pictures of Abe right before his surgery. Poor guy, he is so exhausted:
Even writing this blog, I don't want to re-live any of it, so I wanted to make this entry as short as possible. My mom and sisters have saved my sanity. Adam was in Korea for 2 weeks and my mom, Rachel and Dana tried to console both me and Abe during the last few weeks. I am so grateful for them. Breakdown after breakdown, they have helped me hour by hour.
It is now five long weeks after the surgery and Abe seems to be doing a bit better. He is a very smiley baby and we are so happy to have him in our lives:
By the way, I blame Primary Children's for Abe's new found ability to SCREAM. If this entry doesn't exactly make sense, I blame exhaustion.

The happenings....
*We were able to insert ourselves into Rachel and TJ's Disney vacation. Adam and I had enough sky miles to make a quick trip and we had such a good time. Hopefully they didn't mind that we tagged along. Their little boy, Koy, was so cute that we just can't wait until our little guy is old enough to go! I forgot my camera so my only pick is from my phone:
I haven't been on "It's a Small World" for years. I heard they shut it down for a while to put in bigger boats for the ever-expanding American body. I must say that I appreciated the extra room and I promptly stuffed my face with a caramel apple right after---in appreciation of Disney's effort to cater to our population, of course.
