Weighing In

The family with Uncle Laddie and Aunt Faye.

 Last weekend we got the chance to go visit my Great Aunt Faye and Great Uncle Laddie. It was such a good visit and a well needed vacation for all of us. My parents were also there visiting so it was an added bonus that we all enjoyed. I didn't see much of Davey and Cassia all weekend as they were having tons of fun with Grandma and Papa going on walks and staying over in their hotel room. Abigail had a great time playing high-5 and giggling with Uncle Laddie.

Out on a walk with Grandma and Papa.

All 3 lined up to be tickled by Papa.At first it was just Davey and Cassia, but Abigail wanted in too.

Abigail loved the knob on the fan chain and was relentless about being able to touch it.

 On Tuesday I finally got the call with Abigail's test results. Everything came back negative! Praise God! We are in the clear and done with the whole UTI business. Thank you all so much for your prayers in the whole ordeal. We are still giving Abigail the iron supplement as her iron levels are getting better, but still low. The Dr. is keeping her on the iron until her 15month well check next month. Then we will do another blood test and see how her levels are.
 Abigail is just sprouting like crazy. I don't know if it is just because she is standing most of the time now, but she just seems taller. Dave decided to get the scale out last night because he is anxious to switch her to a forward facing car seat. We weighed her 3 different times - once with Dave, once with me, and once by herself. Each time she weighed 19lbs. Dave thinks that is close enough to 20, we will see. Once Abigail is heavy enough to be forward facing she will be getting Davey's car seat and Davey is going to be moving up to a booster seat. When we weighed Davey he weighed in at 39lbs. Most boosters have a minimum weight of 35 or 40lbs so he is ready. I have a feeling we are going to be going shopping for a booster seat this weekend. Well, we couldn't weigh Abigail and Davey and not Cassia. Cassia is such a light weight and weighed in at 26lbs. I am pretty sure at her 2 yr appointment she weighed 25lbs. So in a whole year she has only gained 1lb. I think there is a good chance Abigail is going to be passing her up sooner rather than later.
 Abigail is loving walking everywhere. She loves that she can keep up with Davey and Cassia where ever they are. At the kids soccer practice Abigail had a great time walking to the line of the soccer field and back to me. We were late getting out the door so I just brought Abigail's sandals with me. Even being barefoot in the grass didn't bother her or slow her down a bit. Only once did I have to run and catch her as she spotted Davey and went full speed for him.
 Earlier this week the kids and I were talking about the baby in Mommy's belly. Davey told me he is really wishing for a boy. That if it turns out to be a girl he will have 3 sisters! He will be the only boy and will be lonely. I told him to pray about it, that God hears his prayers. He nodded, but didn't seem too convinced. He then told me what he really needs is a wishbone. Then he could wish for a boy and it would come true.
