Abigail- only a mere month until the big oh-one. Wow!
Now that the weather is getting nice, I'm starting to recall the blur that was late pregnancy and early newborn days. What a wonderful blur it was!
You fill my life with love and an outlook unique to being your mother. Each and every day I wake up anxious to be with you and see the world through your eyes- you have such a funny and caring outlook on life- I love it!
Here's a list of your newest "news" this month:
- Between June 26th- July 5th three teeth have come through! It's been a tough time (lots of ibuprofen), but you looks so cute with your little chompers.
- You're pulling up to sit unassisted. You're so amazed by your ability to do this that you get a huge smile on your face and clap for yourself every time!
- Speaking of clapping, you love clapping when people cheer. You understand that clapping signals a celebration of something- smart.
- You shake your head to mean "no". "Abigail, do you want more?" (you shake your head) "Abigail, can I have the remote back?" (you shake your head) "Abigail, do you like Daddy better than Mommy?" (you shake your head) kidding, kidding ;)
- Waving "bye-bye". You mastered it yesterday for Mamie! It's still tough getting you to wave on command, but I know you get it. I've noticed that about you; you "get" a lot of things, but most aren't worth your energy. You're a no-BS-kind-of-girl... like your Mama :)
- You enjoy pulling up to stand and seem very proud each time you do it. You're still not sure how to get down without falling, but you really enjoy the two-foot-something view!
- I can finally put bows in your hair! This has opened our world to a whole new realm of fashion possibilities ;)
Abigail, you're getting smarter, funnier, and more curious by the day. Every day you're discovering something new and I feel so privileged to spend my days exploring and discovering by your side.
Happy 11 months, girlfriend.
Mama loves you!
