15 months

Abigail had her 15 month appointment on Monday, and since her one year check-up, we've been loading her with all kinds of caloric goodness.


New stats: 

weight: 18 lbs, 13 oz
height: 29"

As Dr. Spector put it: "She won't be playing in the NBA, but she's got a shot as a gymnast"

A total gain of 15 ounces (just an ounce shy of a pound!).  She eats like a horse and snacks all the time, but apparently she inherited someone else's metabolism...

So there we have it.  Our little munchkin is just petite!

Bits, you are such a funny kid.  You constantly do things to make us laugh and smile; here are just a few of them:

  • You adore mac and cheese, and even though I won't feed this to you everyday, you constantly have mac and cheese breath.  It's adorable.
  • You find humor in mimicking.  Your favorite is when people sneeze.  Your imitation sounds like a cough (with your tongue sticking out), and you think its hilarious
  • You use "bye" as a social cue.  You want someone to leave?  You simply start waving to them and saying bye.  We've had some awkward moments with this...
  • Most nights Dad plays guitar while you eat dinner and before you go to bed.  Your favorite song is Baby Abigail.  Your current dance move consists of rocking back and forth, clapping, and an "ole" arm move.  It's hilarious!
  • You love when Dad spins you in the office chair.  When he stops, your eyes keep going while a huge smile blossoms across your face.  I think you're a spinny-ride girl; Dad will have to take you on these rides.  I was a roller coaster girl; I'll never make it.
  • You're not walking, but getting close.  You think it's pretty funny to stand on your own then trust fall either back or forth- we manage to catch you as you fall to the floor, laughing hysterically.

You're an incredible kid, Abigail.  You have a zest for life and a true passion for making others smile.  Never lose that, my dear- it will bring you so much happiness in life.

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 the queso dip (yep, the

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
