20 months

Miss Abigail, 

 You're becoming a handful, but have grown so much this month!

 I always make a point to jot down your new "news" every month, and this month I'm full of them.

 This morning we went to Uwajimaya to buy sushi fixings for dinner.  Henry, amongst others, are coming over for dinner tonight.  As I type you're yelling / singing in your crib, not wanting to take a nap...I can only assume you're excited to see Henry (he is one of your favorite people)!

 You had a great time at Uwajimaya: chasing after Daddy, carrying around a bag of fish jerky, and looking at the live tilapia, crabs, and lobsters.

You love to push the cart by yourself

Roaming the seafood aisles

After shopping we had lunch in the food court where you ate a ham, egg, and cheese crepe.  

It was delicious! I may have helped you finish it...  :)

Not-so-patiently awaiting your crepe

Anyway, here are you're newest news this month:

  • You've mastered drinking from a cup and love walking around with a glass of water in hand.
  • You constantly stand by the baby gate and want to go downstairs, then when you're downstairs you want to come back up.  In short, you love climbing stairs.
  • Your (short lived) favorite food this month was Trader Joe's peaches and cream yogurt and you love feeding yourself with a spoon.  You also love eggs (you eat 3-4 every morning!) and adore mango juice.
  • When we can't get you to sit down to eat (which is more often than I'd like) we let you walk around and eat from your plate at the coffee table.  Most times you'll pull your chair up to the table and make your own dining space (works for me).
  • About a month ago you fell and scraped your knee.  Since then you've been obsessed with your "owie".  Dad will say to you, "oh no, you have an owie..." and you immediately pull up your pant leg to re-examine the damage.  I'm not sure what we'll do once your owie fully heals...
  • Your allegiance has switched from Grandma to Grandpa.  Grandma's convinced it happen one day when she put you down for a nap and you cried for 30 minutes.
  • You've started glaring.  It's sweet, snarky, and sassy all at once.
  • You and Dad started playing hide and seek.  It's the funniest thing to you!
  • New word: bubble (you learned this from the fish song at preschool)
  • You've become an avid reader.  Your current favorites include: Peek-a-Who, Are You A Cow?, Grover Goes to School, any Maisy book, and Where is Baby's Belly Button
  • You went down the slide on your own this month; a risky move for Miss Cautious!

The big sliding event

Coffee table dining

It gives me so much satisfaction being with you each day and watching you grow.  These past few months have brought such change!

We love you so much, 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...

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...
