Abigail's 19th month update

Dear family and friends,

Welcome to our new blog! Here’s an overview of Abigail's development the past few months.

April: Nods “yes” (after months of shaking head “no,” takes great concentration and is very comical); makes the sounds of ducks, dogs, horses, and pigs; able to eat cereal and milk with a spoon

May: Can identify many body parts (hers, then Daddy’s, then Mommy’s); flies to Orlando and starts making (her own) airplane sound (ddjjjj…); loves brushing her own teeth (and begs to use Mommy’s makeup)

June: Tries to repeat words- says mommy, juice, cheese, yes, meow, bow and bubble; attempts to climb on everything and thinks she’s big enough to walk the stairs; makes us laugh by hunting for her belly button

July: Enjoys spending four days with buddies Rose Marie (2 1/2) and Autumn (8 months); learns new words every day

Abigail's travels over the past three months include trips to: Tennessee (GramMee, Grandpa Mee and family), Florida (two day vacation at Sea World), Virginia (last visits with Great-grandmother Patteson “Mimi”, cousin Jessica’s bridal shower, Mimi’s memorial service and time with family), Kentucky (new state - visiting Mommy’s friend Rachel), Georgia (Grandddaddy and Grandmama Garner), and California (friends Lai, Brian, Rose and Autumn Swillum). Later this month we plan to help celebrate Abigail’s Great-granddad and Great-grandma Johnson’s 60th wedding anniversary.

We'll try to keep this page current. Check back whenever you like. In the meantime, we'd love to hear from you!

Nathan, Julia, and Abigail
