Bye, Catherine

In this Thanksgiving, please pray for the family of this little baby Catherine. I knew her through my blogger friend Nicole. Catherine was born on November 15th, 2009 with Spina Bifida but did not survive her shunt surgery on Tuesday, November 24th, right before Thanksgiving. No words can express how this family must be feeling right now.

A year ago Abigail had a back surgery and stayed at hospital for seven weeks. Tonight I could tuck both her and Noah in and listen to Danny snore. I'm very thankful for this.

1.5 Years Old

Our Abigail turns one and half years old today! Here's something about her:

She's around 32" tall and weighs around 24 pounds, both about 40-50 percentile (she was born less than 5%, so she's catching up).

What she likes: her brother, sleeping, eating (so far I didn't find any food she doesn't eat, and a lot of times she eats more than Noah), talking (her favorite word for now--"NO!"), singing, running and climbing (constantly moving around), "reading" books (together with playing, chewing, and tearing)

What she dislikes: washing hairs (it should be more but I can't think of any now).

Our Abigail is definitely an active, independent, happy baby girl!

Circle Time

Do you find there's one student much younger than the others? Yes, that's my Abigail. I'm very proud of her. (Noah too, of course) I can't believe she's not even one and a half year old!
