A few updates:
Abby is still a wonderful, amazing, happy, funny little girl. She makes new discoveries every day, and she's trying to talk more and more. We can understand many of the single words she utters, and we think we're starting to get a phrase here and there. I think she's saying "you/I do it," and "all done/all gone," phrases which she hears frequently.
Way back in January when we had snow- Abby absolutely loved watching Cosette tear around the yard like a crazy dog. She was interested in the snow- but did not enjoy the face-full of it she got while trying to walk in it.
Abby frequently goes to the new park at Southern Village with grandma. On weekends she goes with mom and dad. Here are some shots of her on a beautiful, warm, NC winter day. Note the contrast with the above pics!
Last weekend we tagged along with grandma and Miss Debbie to the new aquatic center in Chapel Hill. This was a hit for Abby as well. She kicked and kicked and splashed and splashed. She also drank quite a bit of pool water. Often, intentionally. Sorry, no pics of that. Too concerned about staying warm! Though you could probably imagine Abby was an adorable little slippery butterball in her froggy bikini.
Abby is now attending weekly music classes. We are so glad we signed her up for this! We know she loves music, and she really enjoys the interactive aspect of this class with the other toddlers. She gets to shake maracas, tambourines, bells, and eggs! She loves to beat drums, clap hands, stomp feet, tippie toe, and make other music using her body. Abby wasn't too thrilled with getting under the parachute at the last class- but neither was her little buddy Owen, who is about the same age. The older kids definitely liked it more.
So many discoveries to make, so little time!!!
PS- We're trying really hard to get a regular babysitter for Abby, so mom and dad can go have a little fun too!
