Abi goes shopping

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”.
