10 months

Happy Birthday, Abigail!



These months are passing quickly, and you are growing and learning more each day; it's getting hard to keep up with you!

Cheese and Chicken: these are your two favorite foods.  You shovel them in your mouth and laugh and as you eat them...it's pretty hilarious.  What's not so hilarious is the mess you make for your neurotic Mom who likes to keep things "just so"... ;)

Along Came Mr. Crocodile: ....quite as can be....and SNAPPED that monkey right out of that tree!  This song makes you laugh every time!  When Dad and I sing it to you, you scrunch your face around the time we start singing "quite as can be" in anticipation of the "SNAPPED"- then you crack up laughing!

Crawling: or as we like to call it- doin' the worm!  You're getting around these days; not the fastest, but if you're determined (if there's an iPad or cell phone luring in front of you), you can get to it at an astonishing rate!

Books: you love reading.  Sometimes I'll walk into a room, and there you are, laying on your back, book high over your head, babbling as though you're reading aloud.  Your favorite books are "How Many Kisses Do You Want Tonight" and "Goodnight Moon"

New tricks:  using your sign language for "more" to mean anything associated with eating, learning to wave "bye-bye", mastering the High-5, and catching on to "blowing kisses".  I'm trying in vain to get you to say "Mama"- no luck yet  :)

You keep me on my toes.... staying busy constantly, yet learning to slow down to see the beauty, wonder, and magic of our world through your eyes.







Happy Birthday, sweet girl.

Mama loves you.

What a coincidence...I love chicken and cheese, too! Glad to hear I have the same diet preferences as a 10 month old.

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...

Cocina Esperanza

Just had to give a shout out to our new restaurant find!  Kevin and I were driving around the Sunset Hill / Blue Ridge neighborhoods last weekend and came upon this little Mexican restaurant.  A very unassuming place...small brick building near the corner of NW 85th & 30th Ave (right next to the north entrance of Golden Garden's and Shilshole Bay Marina).  We finally got around to checking it out late last week, and oh boy, have we been missing out!! Now, any of you who know me, know I'm a self proclaimed Mexican food connoisseur...and by connoisseur, I mean boarder line obsessive.  I love all things Mexican cuisine...especially melted cheese.  So I should admit; their whole "authentic" label had me a bit apprehensive ...."will there be enough melted cheese on my food??"   was sadly my first thought  (hey, I'm pregnant...give a girl a break!)  So, late last week, we wandered in, found a nice table by the window, ordered t...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...
