Such a Big Girl!! 18 month Abby

Our little monkey has no idea that she is still a baby....she is every bit as old as her brothers, and wants to do everything they do. We are absolutely crazy about her. Unfortunately mommy is the only one that can tell her NO. They boys, daddy and Grammy haven't learned the oh so important word quite yet. So if she turns out to be a spoiled stinker, it's not mommy's fault.

Fun Facts about Abby Kate:

My "average" 50/50 girl is lengthening out. At her checkup she was in the 90th percentile for height and the 30th for weight 33 1/2 in 23lb 12 oz

Has recently become obsessed with Elmo. Both brothers went through this stage, but they were much younger. She goes around the house trying to sing "Elmo's world". And says "Elmo's friend" and then points at her belly.

She speaks REALLY well and is starting to put 2-3 word sentences together, "where daddy work?" "wow, pretty lights"

She LOVES to put things up her nose: gum, dinner, hair elastics, lego pieces, edges of her blankie.

Loves to be read to, and makes up her own stories.

Loves shoes and to put on mommy's jewelry (mommy doesn't love that).

She is more cooperative with getting her hair done--I just have to tell her that if she lets me do her hair she will look pretty.

Loves to be told she's pretty.

FINALLY starting to sleep better. Not every night, but most nights she will make it to 5:30 or 6:00 and sometimes goes back down until 7 or so. HUGE progress for her.

Loves her Blankie, must have it for night/nap time. Giggles when I put the blankets on her for sleep. So adorable.

She has personality coming out her ears!!!! Makes a scowl, surprised and happy face, in that order.

I hate that she is growing up so fast---except the sleeping part--dude, sleep like a teenager (with an 8pm curfew of course)

Says, "sorry" for everything--even if she falls on her own or hits her head--she will look at what she hit her head on and say sorry to it.
