Swim Lessons

As some of you may remember, Abigail took her first dip back in October, but yesterday we hit the big leagues: swim lessons.


Swim lessons for a 6 month old is much like storytime at the library: stand in a big circle and sing songs for 30 minutes, but in the pool you get the added bonus of playing with water and splashing!




As you can tell from the pictures above, Abigail was rockin' the "diaper only" fashion.  I wasn't sure what the protocol was, so I erred on the minimalist side.  Little did I know, she would be the only nudist her class- how embarrassing..

Lesson learned: a fashionable one piece was purchased stat.  So next week she will no longer be the naked, gender questionable baby at swim lessons!

Most adorable part of it all?  She has a natural froggy kick!  Check it out:



In other news, Abigail had her 6 month check up this morning.

At her 4 month visit she was in the 70% for weight and 50% for height, but today she weighed in at 15lbs 11oz (35%) and 25 1/2" (35% as well).   At least someone in our house is watching their weight  ;)

Dr. Spector's quote of the day: "wow, she looks just like you!  We may as well have taken your uterus and put it over a Xerox machine"

Gotta love Dr. Spector

Tonight we're headed to C&P coffee house in West Seattle for a get together hosted by Kevin's parents.  About 40 people are expected to show for an evening of great music and company- we're looking forward to it!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend

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...
