{Check up on Abbey}

Abbey had her 9 month well check up today with our amazing pediatrician, Dr. Somsak. We had a great appointment and of course have all the latest stats on our baby girl. Abbey is weighing in at 19.5 lbs and is 28 inches long and as I’m typing this I’m realizing how much she’s going to hate me for having all this information and pictures online for all her future boyfriends and husband to see. OH how I love technology!

{What’s up with Abbey}

• Finally two bottom teeth are peaking their way out (discovery credit to my Aunt Sue Martin!!).
• Loves having raspberry wars with daddy.
• Saying “dada” and “momo” and something that resembles “dog”
• walks when you hold her hands.
• Her favorite toy is the Fisher Price one shown in the picture above but she also loves her mirror and wooden spoons.
• She’s eating chunky foods and snacks and recently tried avocado (she thought it was okay) and has bites of mommy’s banana each morning.
  

  Peeking around the corner after climbing up to stand, so proud of herself

• Crawling has now turned into complete mobility all around the house.
• She is pulling herself up on kitchen chairs, the couch and pretty much anything that is stable enough within her reach (yes, that includes the dog who is no longer safe).
• Balancing herself in a crouched position,
• Abbey gives the best kisses, of course it is completely open-mouthed and super slobbery (beware future boyfriends and husband).
• Abbey gives her two older boy cousins a run for their money as she lovingly attacks their hair whenever she sees them. George calls this “aggressive love.” Future boyfriends and husband don’t need to read this part!

{Coming soon}

Since Abbey has great role models that are walking or beginning to walk, I’m thinking that she will pick up on it quickly. Her ability to fall gracefully (something her mother never learned) will come in handy as she starts to practice walking by herself. Once she gets her balance we’ll be adding  bubble wrap all over the house as our new decor.

Lastly, her ONE YEAR birthday party is now just around the corner! I have already started thinking about the theme and what I’m going to do for this amazing day. I just need to find a place big enough for family and friends to celebrate, Beatles themed of course!

Here are a few more pictures of Abbey at 9 months old, getting her still was quite a challenge!
