We took Abigail to the doctor yesterday for her nine-month checkup. She’s slimming down now that she’s mobile: 19 pounds, 12 ounces, only 75th percentile now. She still resembles a tiny sumo wrestler when she’s in her diaper. She hates being weighed, hates having her head circumference measured, but (thankfully) likes her doctor.

Today we met out friend Eric for lunch at our favorite local diner. Eric just finished his MS in the same department as Dan, and has recently found a great job in D.C., where his girlfriend Erika (yes, Eric + Erika) lives, so the lunch was part catch-up, part celebratory. Plus, Dan and I have [...]

Abigail is eight months old now. Crawling is so last month. Toys are no fun. All she wants to do now is pull or push up on anything within her reach, anything that will hold her – and a lot of things that won’t. She moves her feet while holding onto furniture or her exersaucer, and then [...]

The best of the Halloween shots, which were somewhat limited by the fact that we had a pretty tired lion on our hands. I like the first one of me and Abby since she looks like she’s roaring!
