Abby

 

Abby is a little foodie. Eat is the only sign she knows and the first thing she "says" when she wakes up and all day long. We are entering the phase where she wants to feed herself with a fork and spoon. A messy phase that I am NOT looking forward to. I'm thinking it might be smart for me to embrace her love for food and teach her to cook as soon as she has enough fine motor skill. Wouldn't it be great if in a few years she was doing all the cooking? :)

*The two pictures above were taken about two months apart. A love for cheese must be in our family's DNA.

She loves taking a bath (most of the time) and usually gets at least two a day (thank you self feeding). As soon as you turn on the water she scoots right up under the faucet and stays there until you turn the water off.

 

Oh does this little girl drive us crazy! She is busy and fast. As soon as she hears Luke walk out of his office she runs in there and climbs up in his chair and onto his desk. She loves to 'organize' his papers, 'type' his proposals, test out all the functions on his calculator, and cause destruction. She has since learned to climb up on my desk too and now we try to remember to close our doors when leaving.

Abby is a sweet sweet girl who at 16.5 months is busy busy, loud (but not saying very many words), still digesting things she shouldn't (this week it was a nickel!), loves her brother except when he's bugging her, sleeping through the night and taking one long nap a day, attached to a binki and has blanket preferences, doesn't mind car rides but hates bike rides, loves to climb on Jordan's bed, loves to look out the window and yell, and makes the best stink face. We sure do love this sweet girl!
