Abigail Kait Kittle

December 18, 2009 Abigail's birthday party was on Sunday, November 22. She had a really great time and received a lot of great gifts from family members. There were 55 people in attendance! Thanks to those who could make it. Abigail moved up at daycare to the Toddler class. She was supposed to 'transition' during the last week of November, but when they tried to move her back to the Infant class on Monday, she cried until they moved her back. So, she was officially in the Toddler class on Monday, Nov. 30th - no visiting for her. Also, Abigail now has 2 molar teeth coming through. You can see one that has actually come through and the other one is just under the gums. That will make 3 teeth on top and 5 on the bottom! Finally, Abigail has been taken off of regular cow's milk. She is apparently lactose intolerant in regards to milk. Right now, we have only taken her off of milk and moved to soy milk. She is going to be trying that this weekend. She had been hav...

November 18, 2009 We decided to give Abigail one birthday present on her actual birthday. Here she is with her new Baby Einstein Rocking Caterpillar. :o) Enjoy the video! Here are some pictures from yesterday and this morning. There are 2 pictures of her with her first bottle of real milk. The other picture is her in the big girl car seat facing forward!!

November 17, 2009 Abigail Kait is officially 1 year old!! I can't believe it has already been a year. Time has certainly flown by. She has learned so much stuff and is so silly. She is a little girl who is full of laughs and love. Look at how much she has grown... Here is a video especially for Abigail. It's Moose A. Moose singing Today is Your Birthday! Here is the updated list of stuff she is doing now, starting with her doctor's appointment update: Abigail's 1 year check up was today. She weighs 20 pounds, 4 ounces which was only in the 30th percentile for her weight this time, but the doctor said that was probably because she has been walking for 3 months. Her height is 30 inches - which is the 80th percentile and her head circumference is 17 1/2 which was in the 50th percentile. Abigail now dances. Anytime she hears music, she will start off nodding her head and then sometimes she starts dancing. She actually started moving more to dance just today. :o)...

October 22, 2009 Okay - I am a little late posting her 11 month update and I apologize. :0) Here you go!! Abigail walks everywhere. She hardly crawls anymore. She will run and stop and then turn around and look at you to see if you are chasing her. If you are, she laughs and takes off running again. Abigail is finally waving when you ask her to. She will wave hello and goodbye. Abigail has been learning and doing a lot at daycare. They do "art" almost every day. They have painted (w/ paintbrushes and fingers), glued feathers to ducks, used cotton balls dipped in white paint to make "clouds", and they do scribble art a lot (just scribbling on a piece of paper). Abigail is now drinking all of her formula/water/etc. at day care in a sippy cup! She is getting ready to get rid of her bottle!! Halloween is coming up and this will be Abigail's First! Since it's on a Saturday, we will be in Geraldine celebrating. Hope we will see you!! Her First Birthday ...

September 28, 2009 Well, since my last post updating everyone on what Abigail is doing now, there are a couple more things I need to update you all on. Abigail has a new tooth!! It's the top, middle tooth on the left. She now has 3 teeth! Also, something I forgot to mention in the previous post - Abigail has been learning sign language at daycare. Some of the signs they use on a regular basis are "eat", "more" and "finished". When I said on the other post that she started waving to us with both hands - that's the sign for "finished", so she could have been doing the sign instead of waving. And her teacher at daycare said that she knows what the sign for "eat" means because she starts walking toward the table when she asks if she is ready to eat.

September 17, 2009 Abigail is now 10 months old!! Time has really flown by. In 2 months, she will be a year old! Abigail has really started doing a lot of stuff now. See the list below! Abigail is now walking! A couple of weeks ago, she took her first steps and last week, her preferred method of getting around has been walking. She can actually move pretty fast. A couple of nights ago, Abigail started waving to us with both hands. Abigail is eating table food really well. She still hasn't rejected anything yet. She will eat anything you give to her. Abigail has been sick for the first time. She has an ear infection in both ears and a sinus infection a couple of weeks ago. This week, I had to take her back to the doctor and she still had an ear infection in one ear and a cold. Hopefully, this round of antibiotics will work. Abigail has been doing really well at Daycare. She seems to love it. She has made a few "friends" and has been going to sleep on her own ...

I am finally getting some pictures posted. Abigail had her 9 month pictures taken at Portrait Innovations in Trussville. I am posting a slideshow of the pictures taken below. As you can see, she wasn't very happy to begin with, but she got happier as we went on. They did a really great job and we will probably have her pictures made there again. This slideshow are just various pictures that I have taken and not previously posted. I've really slacked off on posting pictures, but hopefully will keep up better from now on.
