Animals

Abby's vocabulary has exploded. Yesterday she came out with "shark", "echo" (I don't think she knows what it means) and "June" (one of her Little Einstein bath toys). She is very proud of every new word.

Although she can say "cow", "cat" and "duck", she names most animals by the sound they make: "Neigh", "woof", etc. Also, within the last couple weeks she has started combining words into phrases, learned to add an "s" sound for plurals or possessives. As a result she comes out with some very endearing terms such as "neighs" (2 or more horses) or "cluck cluck eat" (the chicken is eating). My favorite so far was "Baby RARRRRRR!" (baby lion, of course).

New Bed

Abby's crib got lost in the move. We finally replaced it. Here she is checking it out for the first time.



Unfortunately, the American crib mattress is a little small for the British bed. We filled in the gap with a rolled up towel. We have no idea how long it will take her to learn to climb out. When she does, we can turn this crib into a toddler bed.

Money

She likes how it jingles.

Fancy Shoes




This reminds me of Minnie Mouse's giant feet.

Pigtails

Abby's hair is getting much too long and unruly to regularly leave down.

She still doesn't like the feel of her hair being up.

By the way, when I look at the first picture I think "Who is that little girl and where did my baby go?"

Balls!

Abby is a huge fan of ball pits, but a ball pit with a slide may just be her idea of heaven. She spent hours going down this slide.
