22 Months

Abram passed the 22 month mark this week.  Once he turns 2 I'll stop counting by months, but for now it makes me feel like he's still my baby.

We had a wonderful week full of spring weather.  We went out to a pond nearby and Abram had the best day.  He loved the water, leaves and just being outside.  Nana helped make sure he didn't get too close to the edge.

 He had fun inside showing off his creative 'hats' and his love for his belly.

We had a dance party on the porch.

 I made a new 'big boy' blanket for Abram since he'll be sharing all his little blankets with the new baby.  Here he is spreading out.

 This week was a milestone as he and kitty cat have come to some kind of truce.  He has almost completely stopped pulling her hair and poking her in the eye and she will stay in the same room with him for more than 10 seconds at a time.  This morning they set a record for nice behavior towards one another.

We also spent some time in the park near our house for the first time without snow covering the ground.  We've discovered it's a pretty cool park.  I don't know who I had a harder time convincing that it was time to leave - Josh or Abram.

What a great week and weekend!

Playtime

Abram had all kinds of fun this week.  We've had lots of company - which means lots of friends to play with and give wagon rides.

 

Caity is always willing to find time to play with Abram.  We call her 'the baby whisperer' because Abram will do anything for her including put his pajamas on, allow her to change his diapers and go to bed - all without crying.  She truly has a gift.

I have had requests for a belly picture - but it was hard for Josh to get a picture of Abram and I without one or both of us looking away.  So far here is the best one we could get.  33 weeks

 

We were also able to celebrate his friend baby Drew's 1st birthday a few weeks early.  Abram was pretty good about helping Drew open the presents.  It is hard to believe Abram will be turning 2 in 2 months!

 

Abram also helped 'show' baby Drew how to play with his new birthday blocks.  At least he let him take the blocks home without too much of a fight.

 

And one final goofy face to end our posting.  Have a great week!
