Veteran's Memorial Parade
Abbygale went to her first parade on Saturday, May 19th. It was for the Veteran's Memorial in Smithville. Abby really did enjoy watching everyone in the parade and hearing the horns and sirens. She clapped and smiled and pointed!
Abby's 9 Month Doctors Appointment
On Monday, May 21st, Abby went to visit Dr. Hughes for her 9 month appointment. She did really good at the doctor. She weighed 19 pounds, 10 ounces (60 percentile), her height was 28 inches (75 percentile), and her head circumference was 45 1/2 (90 percentile).
Abby has been having a little bit of a stomach ache so Dr. Hughes thinks she had a little bug. He suggested giving her one probiotic a day (in her milk) until she gets better. This is suppose to help get better 50 percent faster.
He did the "Denver II" test on Abby and at 9 months she is right on track. She can wave bye-bye, indicate that she wants something, play pat-a-cake, bang toys together and clap, grab things with her pointer finger and thumb, jabber, combine syllables, say "momma" non-specific, pull to stand up, and get to sitting position. The only thing she couldn't do on the list is say "momma" specifically to me.
She had to get only one shot this time, Hep B, but poor thing still cried. However, once she stopped crying she was waving and talking to the ladies at the check out desk. She is just so, so adorable!
Dr. Hughes recommended starting to give Abbygale whole milk at 11 1/2 months to try and wean her off formula. Her next appointment will be after her one year birthday!

Mother's Day 2012
I had a GREAT first Mother's Day! Abby has been hiding a trick from me and showed me her new trick on Mother's Day, which was perfect. She started crawling on Thursday, May 10, 2012 at Aunt Melissa's but wouldn't show Mommy until Sunday, May 13th on Mother's Day! It was the BEST present Abby could have given me!
I love my family to pieces and they made my Mother's Day very special. I got a manicure, pedicure, dinner with the family in Austin, and we also did a little shopping! Just perfect since it was the three of us hanging out!
Here is a quote by Elizabeth Stone that explains being a Mommy. "Making a decision to have a child is momentous. It's to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." I LOVE you Miss Abbygale Kate!!

Thursday, May 10, 2012 - Abby Crawled!
Abby crawled for the very first time on Thursday, May 10, 2012 at Aunt Melissa's! Thankfully, Melissa recorded her crawling and sent us a video so Mommy and Daddy got to be part of that milestone too! She crawled in the correct form and fashion (she has been getting to where she wants to go but not by crawling, but by scooting, rolling, etc)! Way to go Miss Abbygale!
*** Abby crawled for the first time at 8 1/2 months old! Woohoo!!

1st Time Swimming
Abby went swiming on Saturday, May 5, 2012 for the very first time....AND SHE LOVED IT!!! She is such a water baby. The water was still a little chilly but she didn't care one bit. She kicked and splashed and smiled and played. She was so happy for the entire 45minutes swimming. We will be swimming a lot this summer I have a feeling.
Abby says, "Thank you Aunt Brenda for letting us swim and for swimming with me my very first time! I had so much fun. I enjoyed it so much my first time to blow kisses all by myself was for you!!"

Around 8 1/2 Months And....
At 8 1/2 months Abbygale is up to a lot. She really is changing and learning something new each day. Every day is so much fun in our household and each day she picks up on something new. She is just SO, SO sweet and adorable! I love her more than anything in this world, as does her Daddy! She is a Daddy's girl for sure. She always wants her Daddy and is just so happy if her and Daddy are together playing. I guess she likes her Mommy too!
Miss Abbygale has lots of tricks. Recently, Abby has began to do the following:
1) Clapping.
2) Starting to TRY and crawl.
3) Blows Kisses.
4) Talks on the phone.
5) Thinks Hard!
6) Waves (She has been waving awhile now but does it regularly and on key now).
7) Our little girl is just the sweetest! She also:
*claps and says "yay!!"
*gives sugars. She opens her mouth and leans towards you.
*says "Momma" "Momma" - but everything is Momma these days :)
*says "Uh oh"
