6 Month Check-Up

Abigail had her 6 month check-up today. The doctor said that she was doing great.

She weighs 17 pounds, 1 ounce, she is 27 inches tall, and her head circumference is 16 1/2 inches. Among other children her age, she is in the 75th percentile for her weight, 90th percentile for her height, and 35th for her head circumference.


At 6 months old (almost), here are some things she has learned to do:
  • She can roll over from her back to her stomach and back again.
  • She is sleeping on her stomach more. I think she sleeps much better that way.
  • She has learned to stick out her tongue and has been doing that when she smiles lately.
  • She loves to grab her feet and occasionally gets a foot in her mouth.
  • She has learned to squeal and when she is "talking," she usually lets out a higher pitch squeal.
  • She eats baby food - at least all of the fruits. Among her favorites are applesauce, pears, and bananas. She will start vegetables soon (maybe tonight). As soon as she finishes the vegetables, she can have meat and vegetables.
  • She loves to play. She has so many toys and things to play in, she never gets bored. As long as she is making noise, she is happy.
  • She likes to watch cartoons. Her favorites seem to be Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Special Agent Oso, Little Einsteins, and Franklin.
She is growing up really fast.
















I will post updates like the one above on her monthly birthdays, but I will post smaller updates on a regular basis. So, check back often. :o)

Parent/Teacher Conference and Birthday

I had a Parent/Teacher Conference for Abigail at Daycare yesterday. We had to say goodbye to Ms. Sincere' and Miss Katrina from her Toddler B class. I hope Ms. Shayla and Ms. Morgan in Twos know what they are in for, especially when Nora Layne (Abigail's best friend) moves up next week. Here are some things I learned about her: She knows some colors -- I knew this one already. She gets the color right about half of the time, especially if it's Yellow, Purple or Green -- apparently those are her favorites. She can count to ten, sort of. She skips 1 and has to count with you, but some times, she would say the number before I did. She can sing the ABC song. Of course, she doesn't get every letter correct (for example, "G" is "C" and " LMNOP " is gibberish ... "P!"), but she knows the tune and tries to say every letter. Also, she is working on potty training in her new class. They are taking her to the potty every hour and they said s...

Happy 2nd Birthday, Abigail Kait!!!

Two years ago today, we were at Brookwood Hospital waiting to welcome a little girl into our world. Abigail Kait was born at 3:33 pm on November 17, 2008. We certainly weren't prepared for what came next -- the joy, the love, the sleepless nights. She is such an amazing, beautiful, loving little girl and we are so thankful to have her in our lives. I can't wait to see what the future holds for her and the plan that God has for her life. Happy 2nd Birthday, Abigail Kait!

Johnny Kittle lived his life every day with passion. In his earlier years, Johnny could be found most any night in the woods, coon hunting. He served as President of the Sand Mountain Coon Hunters Association. His best times coon hunting were spent alongside his favorite Treeing Walker hound, Night Champion Kittle's Alabama Pride. Johnny was also an avid turkey hunter and deer hunter. He was co-founder of the Iron Gate Hunting Club and served as President. In his lifetime, Johnny took well over 50 gobblers. He harvested a 12 point and a 10 point buck, club records at the Iron Gate Hunting Club. ...
