Grandma, Doctor, Parties and Picnics....

Before getting started with what Abhi has been up to, I must add a few more things to the "things Abhi can do" list (that I forgot and he has just started). He can also...

Dance
Give a Kiss
Imitate sounds and some words
Is now saying "mummum time" and last night he said "night night appa"
Moo when asked 'what does the cow say?'

Last Wednesday, Grandma arrived so I am taking advantage of her help big time. I have been coming and going as I please with all my errands and getting to the gym a lot more. I actually was able to go for a run outside this morning...can't remember the last time that happened. Also, K and I went to the movie and dinner/drinks last Friday night...also been awhile for that one! Abhi is enjoying Grandma and keeping her busy with his schedule.

Thursday we went to the doctor for Abhi's year exam...good to have grandma because back to the days of 4 shots. Abhi has not gained much weight since the 9 mos appt. Just a few ounces, so he is currently 22lbs 12 ounces. He did get considerably taller growing 4 inches and is now 30 in total. He handled the shots pretty well and did not cry too much. He was back to himself after his bottle smiling and playing peek-a-boo with people in the waiting room. He did not have a fever with this set of shots either, so all went smooth.

Saturday morning we were up and on the move early. We had a birthday party to attend for our Friends Oscar and Jennifer's daughter Fiona. She is going to be 2 . Abhi (well, mommy) got to paint a small pot and then it was time to run through the sprinkler and dip in the baby pool in the back yard. Abhi was the only boy running around with lots of little girls. We had pizza (peas and rice too for Abhi) and cupcakes for lunch. It was a nice party!!

Then, we were off for the afternoon to K's work picnic in Harrisonburg. So, it was naptime for Abhi during the 2 hour drive. They had the picnic in a big camp with tennis, pool, horseback riding, canoeing, etc... It was really nice but extremely hot so we decided to hit the pool. Abhi floated around in his baby float and it was great to just cool off in the pool!! We were planning tennis and other activities especially since grandma was with us to watch Abhi, but time got away from us and it was just so darn hot. Plus, we forgot the bug spray...do not forget that when you go into the forest in Va. We stayed and had dinner at the picnic then it was back in the car, back to sleep for Abhi, for the 2 hour drive home. We were all beat!!!

Sunday was and all day shopping/planning day for Abhi's birthday party. We are inviting friends for a picnic in the park next Saturday to celebrate the big event. Can you believe it, Abhi will be 1 this week!!! So more to come as the boy turns 1...
