Abby Almost 1 year Old

Abby is a delightful little baby. She so ready to laugh and giggle about everything. She is such a cuddler too. She has deliberately given me kisses many times and often will crawl over to me and just sit in my lap. She weighs a wopping 18.5 pounds and only doesn't even come to Eva's shoulders.

She crawls on her hands and feet instead of knees now and we know that if she had a little more confidence she would be walking. She cruises around all the time. A couple of times she has walked little bits just holding my finger or Janice's. She loves being with Poppop and Janice and lights up when they come home. When She sees Justin on the webcam she calls out to him, "Dadadadada!" over and over. Its so sweet.

She loves pat a cake and is easily tickled. She loves it when I nibble on her toes and bottoms of her feet. And of course rasberries are a hit. She especially loves it when Eva plays with her. She adores Eva and has since she was born.

She says, "Uh-oh" and when she wants more food has justed saying, "mo". Which is a lot easier on the ears than her typically shrill squeal. She jabbers on about little things and has little chats with us.

Speaking of food Abby is a wonderful eater. I started her later than Eva on solids because she kept almost choking or would always cough while eating and scare me :). Over this past month she has really just started eating safely. Now she is a passionate little eater - not picky at all and loves poweraid zero :). The other day I took the skin off an apple and let her hold it and eat it herself. Oh, she loved it! She has never liked being fed with a spoon - she really only likes to feed herself.
