Abi’s new word of the day

Abi & Mommy out about town

Abi walked from Dunkin Donuts on Broadway to Isis, and had a lot of fun walking down the big girl steps all by herself.

Poor Daddy

Poor, poor Daddy . . .only gets to watch Futurama.  Abi refuses to let him watch anything else, not even Family Guy.  She just wants to watch Futurama.  And Daddy has to pay attention while they’re watching.  Otherwise, she’ll elbow him, or even bite him.  How dare he not pay attention to their show . . . even though he’s seen the episode 20 times already?  Guess what Abi & Daddy are watching this week?

Abi tests out Newton’s first two laws of motion

She just wanted to make sure that they’re correct. 

Abi loves . . .

watching cartoons with Daddy.  Particularly Futurama & Family Guy.  Daddy loves watching cartoons with Abi too.

Abi’s favorite musicians are

is John Lennon & Chumbawumba.

Abi’s birthday

Abi was really excited to see Grandma & Grandpa for her birthday.  She had fun opening her presents, and hanging out with Grandma & Grandpa at her birthday party.

Abi drinks

She really likes copying what adults do.  You can see her here drinking of water.  She sometimes demands to carry her own lunchbox up the house stairs.  It’s very heavy, so she puts it on a step, walks up the step, and then moves it to the next step.

Abi’s 2 year physical

Abi had her 2-year physical this week.

She gained 6lbs and almost 3 inches over the last 6 months.  She is now 70+ percentile in height and 50+ percentile in weight.

She is meeting or exceeding all of her milestones, including speech.  She can identify some colors (usually) and find things in a book, which are all 3 year milestones.  She can say more than 20 words, which is the 2 year milestone.  In fact, it seems to Mommy that she learns several new words on most days.

Thanks for your comments

Grandma, thanks for your comments. They make it much more fun to write the blog.

Who’s this little person?

Momny, Daddy & Abi went out to dinner last night to celebrate Abi’s birthday, Daddy’s promotion, Mommy’s acceptance onto the appellate panel, and one or two other things.  Abi sat through dinner (no running around).  She drew with her crayons, ate food, and demanded to drink from Mommy’s water glass.  She then dragged us to the toy & baby supply store (few blocks away) where she had fun playing with the scooter (see below).  She only ran one lap around the restaurant . . . how strangely unlike her.  Maybe she’s suddenly “all grown up”.  As she will tell you, she is after all “tu”.

Happy Birthday Abi

Wishing our delightful, adorable, brilliant, beautiful and self-rescuing granddaughter a fabulous 2nd birthday.
