18 Months and Tubes






Abigail had tubes put in her ears last Friday morning, on our 5th Wedding Anniversary, and she did wonderfully. She's a pro at this by now. She bounced back to normal that very night. Praise God! We believe this will improve her hearing, balance and speech. We're praying this will be the end of hospitals for us for a long time, and that she will remain healthy.
Abigail turned 18 months old the day after her surgery, last Saturday (5/8). She is getting stronger and is even beginning to finally toddle. We can soon call her a toddler! She's back and forth with her walker all day and is even beginning to take steps on her own. She is now 21 lbs. with her height and weight below average, but quite normal for her size. She says doggie, duckie, Dada, stairs, down, cup, animal sounds, and lots more that probably only Mommy or Daddy would recognize if she said them. She's still a shy, timid little thing. Part of me wonders if she would be so if she didn't have such a hard life thus far, but one can never know I guess. She's a good eater and a great sleeper. I've rarely had a problem putting her down for a nap. She's got quite a personality that even strangers can see right away. I'm excited to see where the Lord leads her as she grows.
