Big Girl

Abigail is now 10 months old. Things change so quickly from month to month. She is walking a lot faster and wants to keep up with everything her big brother is doing. She is such a joy and brings smiles to everyone that she meets.

Here are some things she has enjoyed doing this month:

putting my phone up to her ear and pretending to talk on it while walking around the room

pulling the toliet paper off the roll

pulling books off the bookshelf

giving hugs and wet, slobbery kisses :)

clapping when she wants more to eat

drinking apple juice from a bottle or sippy cup

taking a bath

reading books

singing

playing outside

going for walks in the stroller or in my mei tai wrap

having her first ice cream cone

meeting her cousin Miko

I miss Heather, Jay and Miko already! An eight hour drive seems too far when you have a little neice who is changing, getting cuter and doing new things everyday. Samuel loved spending time with his aunt and uncle. He also loved giving his cousin lots of kisses. And we found out Abigail wants to pat you on the head if she likes you. I am thankful that we got to spend a week with Heather, Jay and Miko. And look forward to the next time we will get to see eachother.

Samuel quote of the month:

"You know, God helps us worship Him."

That's so true, Samuel. We can't fully worship God without His help.

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year again with the Martin's. Samuel had fun being a part of the Easter egg hunt and was excited to find candy and money inside his eggs. Our landlord Cindy is an amazing cook and this year she made a turkey and ham dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, rolls, carrots and much more! It was all delicious.

Abigail is 9 months old now and doesn't show any signs of slowing down. At her 9 month check up she weighed 18.3 lbs. and was 27.5 inches long. She loves playing with her brother and thinks he is the best! She also wants to try whatever we are eating. Her pediatrician said she can have whatever we eat as long as it doesn't look like a choking hazard. And no honey until after her 1st birthday. So we have been introducing her to lots of new foods.
