~Her
expressive babbling continues and she has added more words! She says
"Hi" and "Bye bye!" at appropriate times. She has also added "doggie"
and very clearly states "Mommy" and "Dada". She's been heard to say
"Bise!" (Surprise) and "Baby" often, also. Her receptive language is blossoming,
too.
~While she has always enjoyed books, her interest seems
to be growing. She frequently bring us books to read to her and points
to pictures to be labeled. She is most interested in interactive books,
including lift-the-flap books and books with textures.
~She does the adorable move of moving backwards while sticking her bottom out while on her way to sit on our laps.
~Abigail
continues to adore her brothers and imitates them often, including
roaring like lions, jumping (attempting to jump), and running around the room.
She likes to get into their rough-housing, also.
~Abby enjoys the play kitchen, including taking play food in and out of
the microwave/oven compartments. She puts cups under the faucet and
then pretends to take a drink. Abigail loves "stirring food" with a
play utensil and cup/bowl. Then, she'll come to us and "feed us" with
the utensil while repeatedly smacking her lips together. It's adorable!
~Abigail is taking an interest in dogs. She'll point them out excitedly and label them.
~She likes to make animal noises when she sees them in pictures, although most animals roar, "Mmmm" or clear their throats.
~She enjoys picking up toys.
~Abigail frequently claps for herself when being praised.
~Our
little dancing queen is learning new dance moves. She moves her hips,
stomps her foot, twirls, and side steps with her head on her shoulder.
