Sunday, July 12th

Abi joined Mommy & Daddy for brunch at the Doubletree in Burlington.  Abi first tried out a high chair, but it was too big for her – she kept slipping out.  Next, Abi tried sitting in her bumbo chair, which was on top of a regular chair.  It was just right, and Abi enjoyed looking around at her many friends.  She particularly enjoyed hanging out with Alan, who is scheduled for a playdate with Abi for next Sunday.

Afterwards Abi ran some errands with Mommy & Daddy.

Abi is training to run (stroll) a 5K with Mommy & Grandpa Michael in November.  She went running with Mommy today.  Mommy did about 6 minutes and 22 seconds of running in addition to walking.  

In the evening, Abi & Daddy went for a walk together.  They had a great time.

An itsy bitsy day

Saturday was a fun day for Abi.  We attended our first itsy bitsy yoga class.  Abi seemed to enjoy it.  Daddy & Mommy found the class rather interesting because there were two other babies who were approximately 7 months old sitting next to each other – it was fun to see them interact.  It was almost like seeing two friendly puppies next to each other.

Abi is also really getting good at losing socks.  She lost one sock on the way to yoga.  We found it on the ground on the walk home.  We then went for another walk, and realized that the same sock was again lost as we were walking home.  

I am also realizing that this post is not necessarily aptly named.  For a few days, I have had the sense that Abi is growing very quickly lengthwise.  Much to my surprise, I have been proved correct.  We put her in her jumper on Saturday – and at least one foot touches the ground.  As of the last time we used it, we needed a very plump pillow on the floor, under her,  so that her feet would not be hanging out.  She has also been feeding quite frequently.  It’s good to know that the milk is going to good use.
