So much has happened since my last post....Abigail is walking (well running), taking swim lessons, and growing way too fast! I started a new job with a totally new schedule. And we are going to have another baby!!
I took Abigail to her 15 month (actually at 16 mo) well visit this week and everything is going great. She weighs 23 lbs and is right on target with growth and development. This was the first visit where she was upset most of the time. She did not want to see the Dr and we really had to hold her down for her shots. Andy could not go with me so it was hard for me to handle her. Thankfully we are all done with shots for awhile. We started letting Abigail sleep with her teddy bear and she will hardly let it go....as you can see she took it along to the visit.
Abigail started walking at about 15 months and now she is constantly on the move. She wants to walk everywhere especially to places we don't want her to go. Her walk (waddle) is super cute. I have tried to upload a video but I can not get it to work. Since she is now walking we are going to more places like the park and the zoo and she is loving it.
We had a play date this week with our best friends Casey and Lucy. Abigail has just recently started giving hugs and thats all she wanted to do with Lucy. She was so cute but she got a little aggressive trying to hug her.
We started Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) swim lessons this week too. This is a huge commitment....lessons are 10 minutes/day, 5 days/week for 6 weeks. Lessons are at the downtown YMCA. The goal is to teach Abigail how to survive if she falls into the water. On the first day they dunked her under 4 times.....needless to say she cried a lot this week but it got better every day. The instructors are great and love on her and play with her too. She is learning to close her mouth and open her eyes when she goes under, how to float on her back, and eventually will learn how to swim to the side and hold on. I can't wait to see how much she learns after 6 weeks.
We are having another baby!! I would still be in denial myself if I had not been so sick the past 8 weeks. I am 13 weeks now and still having morning (all day) sickness but it doesn't seem as bad as the last time. Baby is due in April.
