Abby at 17 months
She sure is a handful! She goes full speed ahead until she suddenly drops off to sleep. She loves music and likes to dance and "sing". I think her favorite activity though, is climbing. My little monkey!!! She also chases the cats and yells at them when they are being "bad" by running through the house chasing each other. She loves bath time, and is very friendly with strangers...makes friends every time we go into a store.

Abby @ 15 months
Abby, Abby, Abby...my little angel... She is now running all over the house...she usually goes wherever she is going at full speed ahead! She bumps her head, and keeps on trucking. She chases the cats all the time. Abby and Mr Boots fight for space on my lap. It is so funny to watch them push and shove each other, trying to get the most space on my lap. Abby always wins, of course. Especially when she flat out lays on top of him.
She brought me my flip flops today and told me "outside". I was shocked! She will also get on her rocking horse and spinning/bouncing zebra all by herself now. Last week she stacked 4 Pepsi cans on top of each other...they were full. She takes the child locks off the cabinets, and loves to play with the dishes...especially the metal bowls (loud!).
She has always been terrified of the doorbell for some reason. I got her the Little People doll house that has a doorbell sound and a flushing toilet sound. Hopefully she will catch on that the doorbell is not a scary thing.
She has also started this thing where she likes to close doors. But then she cries because she is trapped in a room, so we have to go rescue her. She is not scared of the dark or being alone, she just gets mad that she is trapped.
Oh, how could I forget...the child that would NEVER allow me to put shoes on her, or if I did, she had them off in a split second....now all of a sudden LOVES shoes. She is constantly bringing me shoes, wanting me to put them on her. She gets mad if she tries to put it on and can't for some reason. I got her a pair of pink and silver sparkly shoes at Wal-mart (she picked them out) and all last night and all today she repeatedly brought them to me to put them on her, only to take them off and want me to put them back on her again. She comes to her love of shoes honestly....between me and her cousin, Jordan, she was bound to love them!
At 15 months, she measured 31 inches tall (almost half of my height of 63 inches!) and weighed 24 pounds...she lost a pound from last month...probably all that running! She continues to cut new teeth...this month a molar popped through! And tonight I found a real CURL in the back of her hair!!! All those months I wished for hair for her...after being born without any hair at all dur to the premature birth...no eyebrows, eyelashes, nothing... and now a CURL! I am so excited! She loves to try and brush her hair. And she loves to carry her little purse around...I think she picked that up from watching Taylor and Jordan play "shopping" and "school" and "house". She also says "ut-oh" when she drops something now...it's so cute!
She has changed so completely since her Daddy last got to see her. She was a baby, and is now a full fledged toddler. I hate that he is missing it...she is so funny and sweet!
