Our baby is almost 20 months- can that be right?
She has become quite a character. Around strangers she appears quiet adn reserved. But when she is holding court with her family- she hams it up big time. She runs and skips and walks backwards on her tip toes. She also has learned how to climb on the beds and jumps like crazy- SCARY stuff!
She dances and sings and makes funny faces to get us to laugh. If anyone bumps into her, she demands a kiss to make it better, saying "ow- that hurt!" She also announces quite frequently when something is "hot-hot-hot" but hasn't quite mastered the difference between hot and cold yet.
She has developed a strong bond with her stuffed animals and requests different ones at bed time or on her way to her sitter's house. She pairs them up. If you hand her "horsie" she always asks for "giraffe" too. She likes to fall asleep with them all around her.
She likes to be wrapped up like a little baby after her baths. She also likes to put lotion on mommy and daddy and she likes putting on her own chap stick and diaper rash lotion. She is starting to get very interested in the potty, but waits to pee on the floor after she stands up- oh well!
She is very into candy- thanks to Halloween. She loves reading books and watching videos. Her new thing is to be afraid of bugs. She calls them "b-b's." We think that means "bumble bee" but she calls all bugs this, except for "spiders" which she mastered at Halloween. She points out cows and buses when we drive and waves bye bye. She also likes to watch birds.
She is a "shoe" girl. She loves wearing different shoes. She got quite upset in the church nursery when a little girl had on the same shoes Abby had at home. Abby thought the little girl had her shoes and she kept yelling "mine" and sitting down on the floor so I could take them off the other child and put them on her. She also gets happy if you point out that she had animals on her clothes. She shows them to other people, saying "see daddy?"
She still wakes many times during the night (poor me) and is very attached to her bottle when she is tired. Potato balls and crunchies are still at the top of her food list too and she asks for them all by name and makes a nervous little laugh when you take them out-and claps her hands.
Well- better go- she actually just woke up and is calling for me. Ttomorrow is another fun-filled day and exhausting- thanks for looking at the pics of our little love bug!
