10 Months


What a sweet girl! Abbie is on the move all the time now and one of her favorite places to be is looking out our storm door - if we are not outside that is - she loves to be outside. She is definitely showing signs of being quite adventurous and doesn't let many things get in her way. She is determined and can navigate her way over, under, through or around just about anything. Where Evan is active, Abbie is busy. It's an interesting difference between them. Evan has rarely stopped moving but it's more jumping, running, tackling, doing "tricks" on the couch or the like - if it's fun he's in. Abbie is busy in that she too is always moving but with purpose and a plan for fun. She loves to smile and laugh. She is a sweet little girl and likes to give kisses and cuddles. She and Evan continue to play well. He can get a little rough at times but she is learning to hold her own. Abbie is also communicating more and more. She points and can use her signs well. When give a choice between two things she will let you know what she wants by pointing or gesturing. She still babbles constantly and says "mama," "dada," and a form of "more" and "all done." She has said "hi," "bye bye," and "ni ni" (night night) but these are not consistent words. I think she has a consistent word for Evan but I haven't quite been able to figure it out yet. I can hardly believe that we are 8 weeks away from her 1st birthday - what a joy it is to watch her learn and grow.
