Half a Year!

Yesterday was full of celebration!  


The day began with story time with our PEPS friends where I picked up a few DVD's and books on baby sign language (our next learning feat).  Afterwards we headed to Cafe Bonjore at Greenlake for lunch, then walked around the lake.  Abigail decided half way around that she was done for the day...so I switched between the stroller, holding her, and stopping to nurse...it was interesting.  Note to self: 11am-4pm baby outings are not a good idea!

We headed home to rest up before Mamie, Papa, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Victor, and Uncle Mike came over for dinner at Gorditos.  Since it was such a nice day, we decided to walk to dinner and stopped along the way for Abigail's first swing ride- she loved it!



Even the Grandpa's joined in the fun!


Anne, Ian, and the kids met us at Gorditos.  So much fun having the whole family together to celebrate Abigail's half birthday.  John and Carolyn, you were missed- so move here already!


A surprised birthday girl!


Chuck and Gail- best baby friends!

We printed an 8x10 of her baby vs. burrito picture to frame at the restaurant, and of course, a comparison picture to see how she's grown.


And for a quick side-by-side comparison:



My dearest Abigail, the past month you have grown so much.  As Dad and I like to say, you've grown from a baby to a teenager right before our eyes!  You've become so active, aware, engaging, and happy...  a blessing beyond anything we could have imagined.

We love you, Abigail

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

A Suburban NYE

We partied hard with neighbors for New Year's Eve this year, and it was perfect - no need to dress up, tackle crowds, or spend big bucks - add to that great friends who are also neighbors, and it's a win/win.
