A Few of Her Favorite Things

Here is what Abby is doing to keep herself (and us) busy. She's really turning into quite the young lady these days. She has her favorite things to do and play. (See below.) She has recently started doing what we ask. This was found out by accident when we told her jokingly to "get your shoes so we can go bye-bye." We turned around to see her holding up her sandals and saying "bye-bye." How exciting. Obviously, we are easily entertained lately. So, without further ado, I give you a few of Abby's favorite things.

A Good Book

She recommends Lullaby Little One. We read this book
at least 10 times a day. She even reads it a few more times on her own
It's a real page turner. . .


with funny parts. . .


and dramatic parts.


Buddies

When Talmadge came for a visit, Abby mistook the carseat
for a pedicure chair.


Here the two taunt Phoebe to come over the gate.

Footwear

She wants to wear shoes all the time.
(She wants us all to wear shoes all the time.)


She has recently started wearing her daddy's socks.


Going Bye-Bye

She is always ready for an adventure.
When I tell her we are going to leave, she grabs
her shoes and bag and heads for the door (after
telling Phoebe bye, of course).

Water

"Mommy, when are you gonna put in the diving board?"
She has her own little pool in the yard now.
I will post pictures of it soon!


Cheesin'

This isn't the biggest smile, but she is certainly cheesin'
for the camera.


**Sound of heart breaking**
This is her cheesing it up exactly one year ago today.

These are only a few of her favorite things. We have left out chasing "BeeBee" around, eating, climbing, and stairs. I'll try to get those for you soon!
