Abby thinks she is so good at doing things on her own now, it is hard to stop her. She is doing great with walking and rarely crawls. When she tries to run, she takes two big steps and falls down. I am thankful she isn't so good at that yet. As far as eating goes...this girl is ready for a buffet. haha! We still have some "baby" food and she will eat it, but not if I give her the chance to feed herself first. I am hoping to have no baby food in the house by next week. Abby has been such a good eater - with the exception of white grape juice, that seems to be the only thing she really doesn't like.
She loves...
apples, bananas, grilled cheese, chicken, zuccini, sweet potatoes, pasta, cottage cheese, cheese, mum mums, broccoli, mac & cheese, turkey, pancakes, biscuits & prunes (didn't get that last one from me...yuck!)
to blow rasberries - if she starts she doesn't stop for like 10 minutes
to terrorize her brother Oscar - i mean chase him, poke him, pull his ear hair, and he just doesn't get it
to READ - BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS - this is our life now! For instance she woke up at 7:30 this morning and right after her diaper change we were already wanting to read Noah's Ark.
to point - it is amazing how many things she has realized (that I never had too) like "oh, that's the kitchen ceiling (i haven't really looked up there recently either )
to take a bath - this little girl could be mad as can be and you tell her its bathtime and she lighting bolts it to the bathroom and stand beside the tub patting it. She gets in a just loves it - guess she gets that from me :-)
her grandads - she is really a Papa & Pop Pop's girl now. She will dart past Nana & Mimi straight to them. They take her around and show her pictures...she loves that too!
herself - haha! She loves to look at pictures and videos of herself...she just gets tickled at that baby on the screen.
It is just amazing to look over and see this little girl sitting there. My baby is gone, but she will always be my baby of course. This weekend we saw a 12 day old baby that was a 9 pounder, and she looked incredibly tiny to me. And to think Abs was 6lbs 13 when we came home from the hospital, that really hit home to me!
Well as you can see, she doesn't not like alot of things and we are happy about that! Hope you enjoyed a little glimpse into what the Abster has been up to. We are in full swing of planning her 1st birthday party and cannot believe it has been a year. Tootles for now!
Lounging & eating a mum-mum - these things used to be a miracle, cause they would occupy her for a period of time. Now that's more like 2 minutes or less - they are her potato chips! haha!!
Been holding out on my momma & dada....I can hold my own bottle now!
Our first time using an actual plate...as you can tell by the following pictures, it didn't last long!
I love my 'scetti!
Simply Delicioso!
"Momma, your camera's the only thing without 'scetti sauce on it. Let me fix that." :-)
This picture really has no caption besides.... "I told you so..." haha!!
Riding the carousel with Mommy & being terrified the whole time. She just kept saying "ohhhhh" I am sure she will like it next time pop-pop!
Aunt Kate & Addison rode it too! Addie is more of a daredevil than her cuz!
Abby looking at all the pretty lights & loud noises @ Funland!
In our room with our pink pony from our Great Grammy. Every girl has to have a pony, right? And another note: look at our bow!! We can hold one in, but don't think we will wear one for a while! we look a little silly :-)
