21 Months

Three months to go before Abigail's two years old, wow! We're off to the doctor for another weight check. Let's hope she's hit the 20 lb mark and doesn't have to have her blood drawn again! Check back later for a full update!

***************************

She did it! Abigail now weighs 20 lbs, 10 oz. It still didn't put her on the growth chart for weight, but she is maintaining her spot just below the line. She's even grown 2 inches in the last three months.

She had to have her blood drawn again to check to see if she was still mildly anemic and she did surprisingly well considering last time. The doctor called me today and said her results were perfectly normal so that's encouraging. She's just going to be on the smaller side, which is fine with me.

At 21 months, she's really starting to blossom. She's talking all the time. Her first sentence of words was/is "I don't know" but it tends to sound like "I dunno", it's so cute!

Her bedtime routine has taking a drastic step in the reverse direction. She's always gone to bed without a peep when I lay her in her bed (awake). Lately she screams bloody murder and we end up snuggling in the chair together until she's gone to sleep. Her days of snuggling in the chair are limited because she feels the need to say & do the following:

♥ "Mommy eyes" (As she pokes my eyeballs out)

♥ "Mommy nose" (As she shoves her entire finger up my nostril)

♥ "Mommy mouth" (As she shoves her fingers in my mouth)

♥ "Mommy nu-night"

♥ "Austin nu-night"

♥ "Daddy nu-night"

You see a pattern, right? When I ask her if Abigail's going to go nu-night, she replies with a big fat NO!

This age is so much fun. I can only imagine how much she'll change in the next few months...
