Phew

I think I finally got through my pile of photos-to-be-posted.

Abi goes swimming

She didn’t like being on her back until Daddy put a ducky on her tummy.  She finally got a “good” from the instructor – – poor baby.

Abi plays with dirt

She’s getting good at standing

Abi enjoys the slide

We have something like at least 6 playgrounds within a ten minute walk of our house, and we are looking forward to exploring each of them this summer.

Abi eats again

She will only hand-feed herself special cookies.  We tried giving her turkey cold-cuts.  She’ll bite into it, let it fall on her chest, and then tries to reach it with her mouth and no hands.

Abi’s year physical

Abi had another physical.  She is average length and weighs 18.5 pounds (she was born 7 pounds 3 ounces).  She grew 2 inches over the last three months.  All is going well.

Abi masters the sippy cup

Daddy also reports that Abi is getting passive aggressive with it.  Mommy went to take a shower, and Abi cried “ma ma ma” outside the bathroom door.  Eventually, she gave up, took a chug of formula from her sippy cup and then spit it out onto her shirt.  She then again spit out another mouthful, and then tried to rub her shirt over the sofa.  That’ll teach Mommy not to shower!

Abi was so happy

that Grandma & Grandpa came to visit for her birthday party.  Here are a few pictures.

Abi is mean

She gestures for Daddy to come to her and give her a hug, and then pulls his hair when he approaches.  She also likes hitting his head with her sippy cup.
