Getting Started

Only a week until Abigail officially turns 6 months.  I can't believe it's been that long since that miraculous day she was born-  however I also can't wait until she becomes more active and communicates with us more!  I'm already seeing so much of her personality and can't wait for her to be able to express that fun personality even more!

Just this last week she got her 2nd tooth, and once she got over the pain of it coming in she started "talking" more-  lots of gaaaa gaaaa kaaaa kaaaas and squeals.  All of which are super adorable.  She's rolling around, and is really good at kicking.  She popped Daddy in his eye this afternoon.  Maybe she'll be a champion Mixed Martial Arts fighter, who knows.  The options are limitless!  Speaking of Daddy-  she totally digs him and smiles big when he comes home from work each day and blushes when he gushes over her-  telling her how much more "chula" she's gotten since the last time he saw her. 

Chula=Cute

I've been stocking up on books for her, I just hope that as she grows she has an interest in them!  I've collected books in English, Spanish, and Bilingual English/Spanish books.  I'm a follower of the blog:  Latin Baby Book Club, it's given me a lot of good recommendations for Bilingual and Bicultural books.  The books that I really enjoy reading with Abigail are "Fiesta Babies" which has the cutest illustrations, and is mostly in English but with Spanish words thrown in.  My favorite part goes:  "Fiesta Babies love fiestas!  Almost as much as they love...(turn the page)  Siestas!"  All the fiesta babies are at the fiesta sound asleep.  Too cute!  The other book I enjoy reading with her is a flap-book, where you lift up the flaps.  It's called "Donde Esta el Ombliguito?" (Where's the Bellybutton).  Super cute illustrations and I get to tickle her belly button when we get to that part.  I wish it had a "where's baby's cheeks" page...I adore Abigails kissable cheeks and can't keep myself from giving them a kiss everytime I pick her up.

Okay I think that's all for now-  Hasta la proxima!
