9 Month Update and the end of Summer

It hasn't been that long since the HOT weather was here. The cold definitely seems to have settled in for the duration (of course I say this and we will probably have a 90 degree day next week!). For labor day, we had a picnic at the Hidden Falls Regional Park in St. Paul. Abbie had a blast! Fortunately for us, she loves her stroller and doesn't put up too much of a fuss when we want to go on a long walk.

"Yeah, I'm just hanging out...let's ride."

Since it was so hot that day, we decided to get out the kiddie pool and filler up! It was a blast. Abbie had a wonderful time splashing and crawling around. This was only the second time she had been in the pool this summer and I must say that the second time around went much better! She will have a great time next summer.



"Why won't this duckie stay still!"

Over the past week or so, Abbie has become a bit of a klutz (or maybe we've slacked off on paying as close attention as we should, it's a toss up!). She has two scrapes on her forehead right now. I feel like such a bad mom every morning when I bring her to daycare. But then I remember that we have MANY more bumps and bruises to come and considering how active Abbie is, this is NOTHING compared to what we will probably see in the not so distant future.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Well, we've had some pretty somber days here at the Baggenstoss house. It is amazing how quiet it is around here (although, our neighbors are probably a bit thankful) now that Chelsea is not barking at every squirrel, rabbit, person, dog, cat, leaf that makes it way past one of the 30 windows in our house. We were excited for a bit of a distraction and Abbie was able to provide that to us. Yesterday we took Abbie to the eye doctor and her pediatrician for 9month well-visit. The eye doctor went great and Abbie is, of course, perfect! Abbie only received 2 shots at the pediatrician this time and was an absolute champ and hardly cried! Here are Abbie's 9 month stats:



18 lbs 4 oz - 25-50th percentile

26 1/2 inches- 10-25th percentile



She is still such a little peanut, but that's ok. She continues to develop and grow like crazy, even if she seems small. We finally got a good picture of all of her Teeth!




"Cheese!"

Hi, it's Kim here. I haven't been on in a while, but wanted to tell you Abbies "studio" picture is absolutely beautiful!! What a little heart breaker she is going to be! I can't wait to see her again. Take care of all of you, and give her my love. Kim
