17 months

Happy Birthday, Miss Abigail!

I can't believe you'll be a year and a half next month.  It's crazy how quickly you've gone from a baby to a toddler in these past 5 months.

As a tribute to this just-shy-of-a-year-and-a-half milestone, I thought I'd share "17 reasons why Abigail is Awesome" (like this one I did for Dad)



1)  You wake up singing- every morning

2) We got you a mini table and chairs (above) and you think it's amazing.  You'll eat anything I put in front of you while sitting there like a big girl.

3) You love your baby doll and pat her back to soothe her.  You've also started sleeping with her and will gab away as you fall asleep.

4) You and Minnie are best friends.  Ca's for life!

5) Your smile lights up a room.

6) You and Dad have a secret language- you think it's pretty funny.

7) Your hair is so curly that we had to start a deep conditioning treatment to keep the fro at bay.

8) Johnny Walker is by far your favorite toy.  You'll cruise around for hours but still refuse to take more than 20 steps on your own (being stubborn is pretty awesome- trust me, I know.)

9) You LOVE boys: men, babies, teenagers- age doesn't matter.  (I'm not sure if this makes you awesome, or me worry for your teenage years...)

10) You would win a geriatric prune competition, hands down.  Dried fruit is your fav.

11) Music makes your world go round.  You love when Dad plays guitar or sitting at Papa's office door, listening to him play music.

12) You sing the Tango constantly.  It's become the theme song to our life and gets stuck in everyone's head (Grandma taught it to you- she loves to dance around with you and sing it)

13) You answer to Bitz as quickly as Abigail.  Your nickname alone makes you pretty awesome.

14) You love aggressive cuddling; clenching your jaw and hugging as tightly as you can.

15) You adore The Little Mermaid soundtrack, and Under the Sea has the ability to make you stop crying instantly.

16) You prefer to stand in the grocery cart when shopping.  I can't blame you, you look pretty cool, but I've received more than a few glares for it.

and the #1 reason why you're awesome?!

Well that's simple....

17) YOU'RE OURS!!



Happy Birthday, Bitsy Girlfriend.

I love you~

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...

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...

five months

Happy #5, Benny Boy! You have grown up so much this past month, and in the sweetest ways possible.  You adore a good tickle or friendly face and can't seem to soak in the world around you enough; every time I look at you, your eyes are quickly scanning the room, working hard to put all the pieces together. A smart little guy, you are  :) This month I moved you to the nursery.  It was becoming increasingly difficult to put Abigail and George to bed at night, but putting them together in a room has made bedtime simple - they love being together.  As such, you now have your own room!  It's so sweet being back in a nursery with a little one.  Since George was in our bedroom until he was 5 months, then living at Gma and Gpa's for another 6 months, he wasn't in his own room until his first birthday.  So, in many ways, having you in a nursery reminds me so much of my first time around the Motherhood block, and many nights it fills me with such joy just...
