Abby's Antics

Abbycakes  is 20 months old now and we are really enjoying this fun age (but really aren't they all!).  She is talking a lot and learns new words everyday it is just a matter of us recognizing what those words are. Sometimes we are a little slow on the uptake:).  Some  of her new favorites are nunnel (tunnel), awside (outside), and yoyo  (yogurt).  Pleases and thank yous are becoming more and more accurate and automatic, which I love to hear. 

Here are a few of my favorite things about Abby these days:

Abby is pretty agreeable and when we ask her questions her instinctive response is yeaaahhh ( with a little bounce)...she drags it out and it is so sweet in a way that sounds like she has a southern drawl.  She is walking up and down the stairs by herself and at Matt's recent softball game she climbed up and down the bleaches the whole game.  Don't get me wrong she has her moments but she is very resilient and pretty easy to redirect.


She loves food and can eat blueberries, oranges and eggs all day long.  We are very fortunate that she eats pretty much anything.


As far as being a big sister, I could never have wished for the two kids to be more loving and adorable together.  Abby asks for Zack as soon as she wakes up and gives him big hugs and  kisses often.  If he is fussy she grans his pacifier or his play gym to calm him down.  Abby even "washes" Zack when they are in the bath.  Zack lights up when she is near him. 


She is entering a very "helpful" phase also.  If I try and sweep the floors she wants the broom, she loves to get wipes and throw the diapers away. 


She enjoys the water, mainly the water park...and squeals every time we pass it.  She loves beach days but spends most of her time playing in the sand with her friends.  I love it too because she stays occupied and requires very little attention..my tan is finally improving:)


Abby has never had a security object but recently she started asking for her Abby Story (Abby's Cadabby's Shapes) before I drop her off and she brings it in to daycare with her.  It has really helped her transition and we are back to tearless goodbyes after two weeks:).


All of a sudden Abby has a renewed interest in her old toys that she is way too big for...hmmmm???
