15 months

Abigail had her 15 month appointment on Monday, and since her one year check-up, we've been loading her with all kinds of caloric goodness.


New stats: 

weight: 18 lbs, 13 oz
height: 29"

As Dr. Spector put it: "She won't be playing in the NBA, but she's got a shot as a gymnast"

A total gain of 15 ounces (just an ounce shy of a pound!).  She eats like a horse and snacks all the time, but apparently she inherited someone else's metabolism...

So there we have it.  Our little munchkin is just petite!

Bits, you are such a funny kid.  You constantly do things to make us laugh and smile; here are just a few of them:

  • You adore mac and cheese, and even though I won't feed this to you everyday, you constantly have mac and cheese breath.  It's adorable.
  • You find humor in mimicking.  Your favorite is when people sneeze.  Your imitation sounds like a cough (with your tongue sticking out), and you think its hilarious
  • You use "bye" as a social cue.  You want someone to leave?  You simply start waving to them and saying bye.  We've had some awkward moments with this...
  • Most nights Dad plays guitar while you eat dinner and before you go to bed.  Your favorite song is Baby Abigail.  Your current dance move consists of rocking back and forth, clapping, and an "ole" arm move.  It's hilarious!
  • You love when Dad spins you in the office chair.  When he stops, your eyes keep going while a huge smile blossoms across your face.  I think you're a spinny-ride girl; Dad will have to take you on these rides.  I was a roller coaster girl; I'll never make it.
  • You're not walking, but getting close.  You think it's pretty funny to stand on your own then trust fall either back or forth- we manage to catch you as you fall to the floor, laughing hysterically.

You're an incredible kid, Abigail.  You have a zest for life and a true passion for making others smile.  Never lose that, my dear- it will bring you so much happiness in life.

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...

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...

It's Santa Time!

Kevin and I kicked it up a notch this year for our annual visit to Santa with dinner at Hamanasu followed by a night at the Hyatt! We've been waiting to make this a bigger deal (add the overnight piece) for a few years, but this was the first year we felt the kids were old enough for it - and it was sooo much fun!
