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...

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...
