Our Growing Babies!!!!

We had Abigail's 1 year old pictures taken on her birthday! I learned my lesson and won't do that again since kids were off from school and every parent had this idea...they were very short with us and we didn't get as good of pics as normal...but the ones we picked we like!! Here they are:

Our princess!




Abigail had her 1 year appointment last week...here are the results!

She weights 16lbs 7 oz (At 9 months she weighed 14lbs 1oz)
Her height is 29 inches (At 9 months she was 27 inches tall)

I'm hoping to find her 3 month and 6 months results in her baby book...but I wasn't blogging then and I realize how great this blog is for keeping my information.

The doctor said she's doing GREAT! She has met most of her 12 month milestones even though they still consider her 10 months....so she's doing great! She's beginning to stand for 5-10 seconds on her own and will take one quick step before she falls...so maybe she'll be walking by February!
We are struggling with her seperation anxiety and her crying around other kids. I am starting to take her to the child care at the gym to help her with this...today we got kicked out of the gym after 10 minutes of her screaming! :) I'm gonna keep doing it once a week and hope in a few weeks I'll make it 15-20 minutes! :) Until then, I'm not even gonna bother going into the gym, I'll just bring a book and read outside the kids korner room until they walk out to find me! :)

Here are her charts! The 1st dot is her at 9 months and the 2nd dot is her at 12 months, so you can see she's following the curve of the chart perfectly even if she's not on it!

These are her charts on the 12 month "Actual" age:

Height:


These are her charts for the 10 month old "Corrected" age:

Now for our our little sunshine...who is growing!!!( I have to be careful cause I always say "he"..we'll see if that's mother's intuition or not...and I have to admit I did find a great newborn boy's hat on sale and purchased it...so I guess if it's a girl, I'll be giving it to someone for a gift!) We feel so lucky because we think we are in a win-win situation on the whole boy vs. girl thing..if it's a boy, we'll feel so lucky cause we'd love to have a little boy...but if it's a girl we'll feel equally lucky that Abigail will have a sister...I love having sisters and would love for Abigail to have that too. So I can honestly say we don't care at all either way...we feel so lucky with either outcome and either outcome is our perfect ending...we just can't wait to meet this last piece of our family puzzle!!! (But we can wait until 37+ weeks and plan on doing that).
I'm feeling GREAT! This is a completely different pregnancy than with Abigail...with Abigail I was so sick, but other than being a little tired, I feel really great this time!!!! I'm taking extra time each day to rest in hopes that I won't have to go on bedrest! I'm also trying to exercise (smart) so that my body will be strong this time around..and I'm gonna do prenatal yoga but I have to be 16 weeks to start. On Friday I'll be 10 weeks along...so here's how our Little Sunshine is growing:




Hope you have a great week! I'll keep you updated on our Kids Korner saga! :)

Way to go Abigail!!! That is awesome she is doing so well.. I just looked and Ava was 19 pounds 7 oz and 29 inches tall at her 12 month apt.. so she is right where Ava was.. and look now Ava is like 25 pounds! She is doing AMAZING and you should be so pround!! As for the little one to come.. I would follow your gut.. usually a mother is always right:)
