Also - I posted yesterday about the spaghetti all over her face. We had spaghetti again last night with grandmom and she wasn't interested in the meatballs at all, and not really in the spaghetti. The bread and desert she was definitely into!

Sitting Pretty
Today Abbi had her 4th visit to the doctor to treat her port wine stain. This time she was back with the same doctor that we saw the first and second times. The doctor is amazing, very nice and patient with us and Abbi. They upped the power this time, just like the past three times and treated Abbi's cheek and nose as before. The bruising is just as bad as always, but Abbi did phenomenally this time. Once she was wrapped up, to keep her from moving around, she calmed down and didn't cry or squirm, she was amazing.
Now we'll start the process of recovery from this treatment and according to the doctor we should start to see significant improvement. We're hoping!

11 Months
It has become pretty much impossible to take a picture of Abbi with a card near her stating how old she is. We still try, but it doesn't work to well. However, she does love to smile and laugh and everything else, leading to pictures like the one below.
Abbi now has 7 teeth, and she's working really hard on one of her molars. This kid can eat like no one else. I mean she can really put food away. She just eats and eats, healthy stuff too, not just junk. She loves fruit and vegetables, and we really only give her water in her cups, or maybe a 90% water, 10% juice mix.
The big news though, she's walking. Abbi started walking almost a month ago. Just after I wrote my last big month post, she started walking a week later. She's now up to walking from room to room, 15-20 steps before she stops. She can go up and down the stairs. Get off the furniture herself. The other day, she turned her little chair on its back and used it as a step to get up onto the ottoman. Amazing!
We're constantly impressed with how smart she is, and all the things she can do. The last 11 months have been amazing to watch Abbi grow and learn. Jenn and I are both looking forward to Abbi's one year birthday as a celebration for her, but also for us. That we've made it through a year of very uncharted teritory.
I told Jenn last night, I love how Abbi is right now. I can look at her and smile and it comes right back to me looking just like this picture. She's starting to get more facial expressions, understand more things, and just overall be a fun person to be with. I love my little girl, and I'm certainly a proud father!

Peek-a-Boo
Last night we took Abbi to the Elizabeth's Landing playground so she could move around and play on the slides. She loves slides! The kid is fearless. She arches her back and away she goes and she loves it. All 2 seconds of the ride, then she's back up and ready to go again. I took this picture last night at the playground while we were playing a little peek-a-boo.

In other Abbi related news - she's getting more teeth. She has a 7th tooth, 3rd on the bottom, poking through now. Its broken through, so I imagine the hard part for her is through. She's also starting to get one of her molars on the bottom of her mouth. I'm sure that will be a much larger effort on her part that this last tooth. So we're on our way to 8 teeth. She's had 6 teeth for a long time now, and no new ones, so its nice to see some developments there.

Pool Time
She was moving around kicking her feet, moving her arms, just enjoying herself. She was in the water probably about an hour before we decided to get out, and I thinks she would have stayed in longer if we had. Our experience this weekend, like many others, only makes us more excited to enjoy the summer with Abbi!

It was pretty cool getting to see Abbi try out something new. Yesterday made Jenn and I even more excited to take Abbi to the beach and have fun with her there.
