Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we had Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house. We haven't done that for years so it was really fun to have the whole family there together. My dad made even made an extension for the table so that we would all fit. Abby loved having all of the kids to play with. Happy Thanksgiving!

Who Pooped In My Tub!

The other day Abby was taking a bath and I was sitting next to the bath looking through an ad and all of a sudden Abby stands up and starts freaking out! I immediately turn to see what is wrong and she is standing there pointing to a poop and screaming. She poops in the tub ALL the time and has never freaked out before. I guess she probably started doing that because I usually freak out when she poops. She makes me laugh. Then a couple days later when she was taking a bath, she had some dark colored fluffys on her feet from her socks that were floating in the water and she avoided them like the plague. I think she thought they were little poops. I finally had to fish them out of the water because they were really bothering her. I don't know what I would do with out her!

Abby at 16 months - Playing at the park

Loving the swing, the higher the better!

Climbing up the slide is more fun that going down!

Abby is so fun right now! (Most of the time) Her new thing is singing. She likes to sing along with the radio sometimes, the TV or me and Stu. Tonight we were watching Wonder Pets and she sang along to the theme song. She especially liked the part when that sang "What's gonna to work, team work, what's gonna, team work. She really got the TEAM work down. We were driving in the car the other day and a song came on the radio that I didn't particularly like but Abby was just singing away in the back to I couldn't change it. It seems to be more ofter softer songs, like When You Wish Upon a Star. That is one she like to sing with. At night when I am putting her to bed I sing a few songs to her and she lets me know when I am singing a song she doesn't want me to sing. Lately I have been singing, It's a Small World multiple times a night. She likes to sing with me. I just love to listen to that sweet little voice trying to mimic my singing.

She had been really good about not having her bottle. She has only had I think two or three in a few weeks. Not to bad. Sometimes if she wakes up in the night we will giver her one. I think she likes reading stories and singing time before bed more that bottle time.

We took her to Winger's tonight and she thought she was in heaven with all of that Yummy popcorn!

She now watches a lot of different shows on TV thanks goodness. For awhile all we could watch was Mickey Mouse Club House. She really like Wonder pets, Go Diego Go, Mickey Mouse Club House and lots of other shows that are on. He favorite movie lately had been Disneyland Sing Along Songs. I got if from the library and I finally had to buy it. When we watch it and the Dumbo ride is shown she always says Dumbo.

She is getting good at her counting. I anyone says one she will say twho, chree. So when every we go up or down the stair we count 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 all the way up or down.

She will sometimes, talk. Stu has really been working with her. She will sometimes say up when she wants to get up. She says... this a lot. The other day she was in the tub and I was washing her body and it the soap made some bubble and she pointed to one and bubble. I didn't know she even new that word. She does like to say Jump, Jump and Bonce, Bonce while she is jumping. She know a lot of animal sound...

• Elephant, dog, cat, bear, tiger, duck, cow, bunny (hop, hop), monkey, I know there are other's but I can't think of them right now.

Lately I have had music playing around the house more often and she will just stop and dance to it. I just love to watch her cute little dance moves.

Everyday is a new adventure with her. We never know what she is going to find to push around or what cupboard or drawer she is going to empty that day, or hour. But...I love her to pieces and I know her daddy does too!

Halloween 2010

This year for for Halloween Abby was the cutest little Ladybug I have ever seen. We loved to watch her run from the back, her chubby ladybug bum would bounce. Stu and I scrounged something out of Lafuanda costume closet to wear. If you can't tell I am a swimmer and Stu a construction worker. Abby enjoyed going Trick-or-Treating, especially when she would get Skittles. We only went to five houses but at one house she got a small bag of Skittles and she took it right out of her Pumpkin bucket and held on to it then he next house we went to she put a full size bag of Skittles in Abby's pumpkin and Abby dropped her little bag back in and grabbed the big bag. She wouldn't put them down. When we got home we had to open them for her and she carried them around for the rest of the night.
