Our sweet Abba-giggles is 21 months old!
~Her language explosion continues. Abigail is using new words, repeating words with improved intelligibility and shows understanding of what we are saying to her. She occasionally combines words into 2 word phrases.
~We're starting to see glimpses of Toddler Abigail. She gives a few "looks" and, while it's said in a cute voice, says "no" often. She's still a go-with-the-flow kind of gal, but will make her opinion known.
~We've started introducing colors. When it's not labeled for her, she'll typically call objects purple or blue. Purple seems to be her current favorite.
~She loves to be a helper! She'll retrieve and deliver objects. Abigail will also find small pieces of objects on the floor, bring them to us, declare them to be "yucky" and will throw them away in the trashcan.
~Abigail enjoys coloring and playing with stickers....and doing whatever her brothers are doing!
~Abby loves her babies! She's going to be a great big sister!
~She has quite a sweet tooth. She loves anything sweet. When Brennan or Gavin inquire about the possibility of dessert after dinner, she proclaims "Cookies!" almost immediately!
~She is trying to wink, but it is more of an exaggerated I-Dream-of-Genie-style blink.

20 Months!
Little Miss Abigail is 20 months old!
~Abigail continues to learn new words and her receptive language is very impressive! She frequently repeats words that we say and is very proud of herself. While she still omits some sounds, her pronunciation is improving.
~Abigail is now pacifier-free! She only got her "ginky" (binky) at bedtime, but we decided to take the plunge over a long weekend. We started by cutting off the tip. She noticed it immediately and began to giggle after looking at it. On the second day, we cut off more, making it too short to keep in her mouth. After laughing at it again, she showed it to Mommy. However, she wanted to hold it rather than having Mommy keep it. On the third day, the pacifier disappeared. She calmly asked for it a few times, but accepted "No more paci". The process was much easier than we anticipated!
~She is going to be a great big sister! She enjoys playing with her baby dolls. She also loves to give Mommy's belly a kiss (complete with a "muah!")
~Abby is very expressive! She makes hilarious faces!
~She loves to wear dresses! She'll get excited when we put one on her and occasionally sways side to side after she is dressed. She's not a huge fan of not being able to remove her tights that she's wearing with her dresses.
~Continuing her love of dogs, a new favorite toy is figurines from Paw Patrol, a cartoon featuring dogs. Each figurine has a separate shield that matches the color of the dog's clothing. While playing with her "Pa Poll" toys, Abigail enjoys matching the dogs with their corresponding shield. She does a great job matching them!
