Happy 19th Month Bday (5 Days Late)
Posted in Media Monday, Video and tagged with Birthday, Daughter, Sick, Video on 10/12/2009 10:07 am by loriSo I’m a little slow these days getting posts up; sorry. You might be slow, too, if you spent 100% of the day being nauseated and throwing up about 3x a day. So, in case you didn’t get Abigail’s hint on Friday, I’m pregnant. But I’ll talk about that later in many other posts, I’m sure. It’s Abby time . . .
Here are some changes we’ve seen in Abigail over the past month:
- She loves to spin around. She twirls in circles probably 10 different times during the day. It’s fun to watch her get dizzy; she laughs at herself.
- She also likes to jump, and she’s getting better with throwing balls. Sabra is finally playing fetch with her. She’s already really precise with kicking a soccer ball (YEA!).
- She’s got at least 14 teeth.
- She’s becoming more of a Daddy’s Girl (yea!). Because I’m not able to do much these days, Jonathan does 100% of her diaper changes, baths, etc when he’s home. So, Abi’s going to him more when she wants a book read or wants a song played.
- She says pretty much every word we say. She puts together 4-5 word sentences.
- She doesn’t want to get her picture taken much anymore because she wants to “watch” the digital screen on the camera instead. You’ll see this in two of the video clips I put in her 18th Month Movie.
- She’s getting into stickers. She’ll point to the one she wants and say, “Want this a one please”, and I’ll get it off for her.
- When she wants us to chase her, she’ll say, “I got you . . . bah, bah, bah, . . .”
- She’s wanting to be more independent: like in her eating (not wanting us to spoon/fork the food and give it to her). And yet, she also wants to still be the baby: like in the last few weeks, she wants to be held more instead of her walking by herself.
- She sees friends–not just family– and calls them by name, without us having to say their name.
Well, here’s her 18th Month Movie below:

Such a precious daughter! I have enjoyed watching the monthly updates. Am so excited for you all and the new one coming and so sorry you’ve been so sick. (Who is the singer on the video?)

@ Janet- Thanks. I’m ready to stop being sick, too!!
The singer’s name is Israel Kamakawiwo’ole (he was Hawaiian, and his nickname is Iz). Oh, and Tony Bennett sings “The Way You Look Tonight” at the end.
