19 months

Today we went to the mall to walk around and explore.  You had so much fun riding the escalators (a new obsession) and waving to people as they walked by.  Every time we passed a seating area you insisted we stop and relax for a bit, so I would sit in a chair while you leaned against the coffee tables and shyly smiled at the people around you.

 It was a fun day, but as you get older and more mobile, it's become exhausting to chase after you (or maybe it's just that I'm getting older!)


Here are some fun facts from this past month:

  • You're a self proclaimed vegetarian.  You love peanut butter and beans (great protein!) but won't touch any variety of "Ca" meat.
  • Your walking skills have brought with them a new level of independence.  You want to walk everywhere!
  • You enjoy making animals sounds; "Abigail, what does a monkey say?" is your favorite.
  • I sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Away in the Manger to you every night before bed.  As such, you've started humming Twinkle Twinkle when you get tired
  • When you don't get your way, you start swearing "GA! Da! Da!"  No idea where you get that from.... ;)
  • You've started giving really big, sincere hugs that melt my heart
  • Play with Me Seasame is your favorite TV show; you love Ernie and Grover
  • ABBA Gold is your new favorite album.  Needless to say, this makes me so happy.
  • We call you the Maytag Lady because you love putting your ear up to the dishwasher and listening to the sound of it running.
  • Every time you see Mamie's picture in your photo album, you lean in to hug it.
  • You love to play with hair clips, and I love to put them in your hair....



Happy 19 months, Bitsy Girl!

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...
