Wow, Abby is older than a pregnancy. The 40 weeks of pregnancy (ok, like 36 or 37 for me--love early babies), seems to take forever. The 40 weeks since her birth have flown by.
She's turning into such a little lady. We all just eat her up all day, every day.
She is such a busy-butt, and in constant motion. She love to open and empty every drawer and cupboard she can reach. She is done with nursing and the binky, and has discovered the corners of her blankie (gerber cloth diapers). She loves to play with and snuggle her blankie and sucks on the corners. Kind of gross. Luckily I have 30 of them, so if I discover a wet one, into the hamper it goes. She waves bye-bye and follows her brothers and is starting to wrestle with Daddy. If she ever sees Daddy on the floor, she is there. I can imagine her little mind, "ooh, my junglegym!!" She has started to test the waters of standing alone. It used to be when she was distracted she would stand unsupported, now she does it on purpose (and is getting mighty good). I don't even want to mention sleep right now! Let's just say we are in a difficult stage--she cried from 2:20-4:10 two nights ago. I detest "crying it out", but it does work. The positive side of her sleeping---she still takes 2 naps a day, and she will sleep until 8 or 8:30. I was LUCKY to get a 7am wake-up call from the boys (mostly 6:15), so I really am enjoying that extra hour or so.

Abby loves her "mush"--rice cereal mixed with a veggie and fruit baby food. She is so funny when she is finished though--there is no closed mouth and head turning, or swatting the spoon away with her hand. No she just takes the bite and spits it right back into my face. And of course follows it up with the darling you-can't-get-mad-at-me smile. We are suckers, because we will do it again and again until we are bother covered in mush splatters. I need to post video of it. It's one of our favorite things around here. Although I know it won't be so cute when she is 2 years old spewing her unwanted food.
Love my sweet baby Abby! She is a busy-butt, but as least she plays well by herself. Something the Higham family knows NOTHING about!
