16 months and counting. . .

I thought I better post about some of Abigail's milestones since I have been neglecting her baby book the past few months. So little girl here's some things you do and say--
you walk, climb--the other day I found you standing on the fireplace!! NO NO NO, you have tantrums to get your way. . .and it works some of the time, you snuggle on my chest before bed time and I love it so much, you dance when a beat comes on that inspires you, you pat your legs when our music class music comes on, you kiss me on the lips, you blow kisses although most of the time you forget to blow--you just keep the kiss to yourself, you like putting stickers in your Fancy Nancy book, you still LOVE flipping through books especially ones with flaps and things to feel, you'll even grab my finger (or Daddy's, Uncle Kyle's or Grammy or Grampy's) to have us touch the page too, you eat pretty much everything we offer you but when you are done--you are definitely done, you let us know that by shaking your head side to side while closing your eyes, ha, you're not dramatic at all :), you sleep through the night and you still take two naps during the day--Mama loves it! You love brushing your teeth. You say Daddy, Dada, Mama, kitty, woof woof, uh-oh and are so close to saying so much more!! Mom and Dad love you so much and can't believe how big you are getting. You are such a strong, tough little girl (which your dad loves. . .and so do I actually :). I definitely think you already have your mama's "spunk" which can be very humorous but also challenging at times.
Here are some great pics from the past week. Last night Zach put my head lamp on Abby and she LOVED it--we were dying!!!(yes, Z and I have head lamps for when the lights go out---great for playing board games in the dark)This picture is priceless!Zonked after a long weekend at Grammy & Grampy's with all the fam!Oh yes, you also color now. It keeps you pretty busy when we go out to eat which is nice. Sometimes you like to throw the crayons though. Notice--Abs is a lefty just like her Dad and Grandpa Rudy!!Ahh, another thing you love to do---go up and down the stairs. . .All. the. time. Sometimes we have to carry you up or else you would NEVER get off of them.So many new things--all fun and exciting, that's for sure!

I missed her this weekend and can't wait to see her -- and you! But it'll have to wait till I'm better. This flu is just hanging on!
