And then there were 75....

Since our little girl is almost at 18 months, MaryAnne and I sat down today and tried to add up all of Annie's words. Not counting animal sounds (unless it is what she calls the animal), we counted 75 words. We may have missed a few, but we are so excited that Annie is able to communicate with us more and more everyday. Her comprehension of what we say is remarkable. We think that is a reason why she is starting to enjoy Disney movies...she can finally understand what is going on. She is very social and so I think she is really enjoying her new-found ability to communicate. Here is a list of the words:

cake, butter, binky, nose, eye, chin, choo choo (train), airplane, neigh neigh (horse), ear, yes, cup bottle, milk, pen, bowl, spoon, doggie, daddy, mommy, grandma, grandpa, house, bubble, outside, shoe, up, down, pizza, out, all gone, all done, stuck, cow, bite, bird, bus, car, ball, kick, mine, please, juice, water, Bryce (her new best friend), bye, hi, both, Annie, Abby, bread, apple, more, sticky, messy, owie, baby, towel, dry, Preston, Issac, pig, otter pop, pet, cheese, cracker, bonk, hot, cold, wipe, yeah, no, keys, go, Bobbie.

Quite the list! We love our little Annie.

Love . . .

my new OB! I am seriously thrilled with this man! If any of you are ever in the Rochester area and need a good OB, his name is Joe Scibetta. He is a little older and super warm. He spent actual time with me! He didn't brush off everything I asked by saying "It's because you're pregnant." He was so cute with Annie. He was SUPER excited when I told him Brad is med school - he purposefully made me schedule my next appointment so that Brad could be there. (I think he really wants to convince him to be an OB; he's going to try to get him to watch a delivery with him.) I am so happy that I get to see him my whole pregnancy (he is even doing my ultrasound instead of an ultrasound tech).

I was grateful to my OBs in Provo for getting Annie here safely, but beyond that, they were nothing to shout about. I felt like a number when I walked in there office. I got such a different feeling here. I seriously left the office beaming. This may seem like a silly thing to post about, but I really feel ecstatic.

I guess I should mention that everything is GREAT with baby #2! His/her heartbeat is perfect; he/she is measuring just right. Things are looking good. I'm so happy about it all!
