Abby's Walking
On Wednesday, August 29, 2012 Abby started walking!! She started taking about 2 steps and a couple of days later is up to about 8-10 steps. Woohoo! We have a walker!! Pretty soon we are going to be in trouble because she is going to be fast as lightning!!
Abby's 12 Month Check Up
Abby had her 12 month checkup on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 with Dr. Hughes. Everything went great and Abbygale is one healthy girl. She speaks about 15-20 words so Dr. Hughes was really impressed and said she is a very smart little girl! You got that right!
She weighed 22 pounds and 10 ounces which was in the 75 percentile. Her height was 30 ¼ inches which is in the 85 percentile. Her head circumference was 47 ½ inches which is in the 97 percentile. She has lots of brains!! We have a little genius!
They took a blood sample to check to see if she was anemic and she didn’t even cry. Her blood test came back normal. Poor baby got four shots. Two in one thigh, one in the other thigh, and one in the arm. All those shots break my heart. I feel like it is way too many but I want her to stay healthy and not get sick either. She cried and wasn’t very happy but overall did great! She kept saying “out” and pointing to the door. She was ready to get the heck out of the mean ole’ doctor’s office. Once we were in the hallway she was fine. Poor girl!
She has to go back in a month to get her flu booster (since one of the 4 shots was her flu shot) but her next checkup will be at 15 months. Of course this entails more shots! Abby is going to hate the doctor’s office like George. When we take George to the vet as soon as we get out of the car he is trying to get back in because he remembers the building and that he hates the vet! This will be Abby in a few short months I have a feeling!
Overall Abby’s 12 month checkup was a success! She is hitting her milestones and is one healthy and happy little girl. The only thing Dr. Hughes said she needs to improve on is her sleeping habits BUT to get her to sleep through the night he says we must let her cry, cry, cry! This breaks my heart just thinking about it. I don’t want my sweet, perfect little girl to cry! I keep hoping she will make improvements herself one day. Hopefully this one day is soon. Very soon.

Abby's First Birthday Party
Abbygale celebrated her first birthday with family and friends on Saturday, August 25, 2012. We had a backyard bash celebration with water, food, and fun! Abby is such a water baby and loves being outside so it was just perfect for her. We had little pools (3), slip and slide, pinterest sensory pad (turned into another slip and slide), water balloons, bubbles, beach balls, and playdoe. The theme was "Over the Rainbow" so we had a balloon rainbow and many colorful decorations. We did a pinata, had pizza and cake, and just relaxed and enjoyed everyone's company. I think in total there was about 55 people celebrating our little girl's milestone. I think Abby had a fabulous time and enjoyed her first birthday celebration. She was exhausted after the party!
