1. Abby is in preschool! She loves it. She had a little separation anxiety for a few days and still does when I say goodbye. But she has an amazing teacher who makes her feel very much at home at school. Abigail also brings Little Duck with her to make her feel better. She carries him everywhere.
Abby at preschool-she’s looking for eggs with her teacher and classmates-
2. Andrew is crawling , pulling up. He gets around quickly- goes room to room.
3. Andrew can say “Dada” and “ba” for ball. He said “ba” for the first time today for my dad. No “Mama” yet- very different from Abby who said Mama first.
4. Andrew is into Abby’s toys more now which doesn’t make her happy. She takes them from him right away and he’s too young to care yet. That will come:)
5. Andrew is sleeping through the night ! Alleluia! It started last month.
6. Abigail has started dance class. She is so happy. She does really well following along and listening to the teacher. Grandpapa (Pa to Abigail ) and I got to watch her first class and Andrew of course! Here she is in class:
7. We have a new afternoon routine that includes going for a walk to the park in Meme’s neighborhood. Here’s Abby with Lil Duck at the “park”. (Meme has convinced Abby it’s a park- it’s really a median with a garden)
8. Andrew started eating people food / finger food at 8 months. He learned so quickly. He loves food- pretty much all food. Some of his favorites are mashed potatoes, cheerios. He likes avocado, fruit, sweet potatoes, cranberries, bread, graham crackers. Here he is eating eggs. He likes them scrambled.
He is my little sweetie bear. He is such a good baby, so happy. He’s so good natured.
Abigail is my energizer bunny. She loves life and just eats it up. We went to church family fun night and they had folk dancing. She had a ball. She is so uninhibited trying all the moves. She has an incredible memory. She’ll bring up stuff we did about a year ago. It’s amazing.
