Abby loves books

So this morning I woke up to Abby saying, "Mommy up" over and over again. She does that every time now. I am ok with that, I would rather have her come and get me instead of wondering around the house getting into things that I don't want her to get into.
When I got up to get her I noticed that she had something in her hands. She was carrying her blanket in one hand and the other had a book in it. That is all she has been wanting to do lately is read read read. Fine with me. I think it's really cute. I was worried for a while because I couldn't get her to read a book for a while. Now she wont stop. Fun times.

just some fun stuff



This is a video of Abby attempting to put a shirt on all by herself. She is such a cutie

The story behind this picture is that yesterday after church Rob was sitting on the floor in front of the TV and Abby walked up to him, put her hand on his head then started to give him head rubs. That wasn't good enough so she walked around the table climbed up onto it and scooted close to Rob and started giving him more head rubs. I started to laugh and ran to get the camera. I was able to get a cute photo before she realized I was taking a picture. Apparently she notices that Daddy likes head rubs. She has been very happy to have Daddy home all day.



Today was Rob's first day at his new job. So she has been asking for Daddy today. When ever we go down stairs and Rob is upstairs she always says "bye Dada". Today, every time we go down stairs she says "bye Dada" over and over again. She says it until Rob responds bye Abby. But today he did because he wasn't here. So I had to remind her that Daddy is at work.

I have also been taking Abby to Mother Goose time at the library. It is on Monday's at 11:00 am. She mostly likes it, she gets a little bored and starts to run around. She really likes it when they sing. I keep taking her because it has helped her want to read more. She started to not allow me to read books to her. She loves it now and I am constantly being asked to read to her. I am grateful that she enjoys reading so much.
Some other new things about Abby she is sleeping very good in her new bed. She also is starting to ask to go potty more and actually goes now. She has asked me 9 times now to go potty and she actually does. So tomorrow I am going to spend the whole day potty training Abby. I bought her big girl underwear and some yummy sugary drinks to help her need to go more often. I read in a book that it helps to give them a lot to drink when you are potty training because it gives them more opportunity to learn.
She also has just taken off with words. She can put 3 to 4 words together now. She says thank you and please when she needs something and gets it from us. Wow there a lot of new things that I haven't written about. I will have to right the rest another day. I am running out of time. Well hope you all enjoy. Thanks for reading

Just want to brag!

I have the best child in the world, I swear.
So I finally found a toddler bed for Abby and we put it in her room today. When it came time to go to bed she just went right to bed. She didn't try to climb out or anything. She is the easiest kid to raise. I feel very blessed to have such a good little girl. I have been worried about this time for a while now and yet again Abby always surprises me. I always worry that something is going to take a while or be hard to get Abby to do and nope she just does it.
I made a slide show of some pictures of her sleeping in her bed. I put some other random photos on the slide show too. The brake down of the pictures are as follows. 1-2 are pictures of Abby's attempt to put make up on. 3-4, Rob lost his hat a while ago so for his birthday we bought him a new one. We let Abby put it on in those two photos. There is also a photo with Abby in the bathtub with her diaper on and white stuff on her hands. I let Abby help me paint this bench that I have had for about a year. Abby and I had fun , messy fun, but hey why not. When she started wanting to explore other things that could be painted white, I had Rob come and give her a bath. The last pictures are of her sleeping in her cute new bed.

PINK!

So I think Abby's favorite color is pink. She as asks to wear something pink a lot. She will also tell me when something is pink. She doesn't usually do that with any other color. She can tell me what some colors are. Rob thinks its interesting that most girls like pink. Abby is definitely a girl.
