A few milestones/accomplishments:
- calling for Mama and Dada
- using various objects and pieces of furniture to stand
- cruising around these various objects and pieces of furniture...but never letting go
- crawling on her knees more often than army crawling
- clapping (and waving on cue!)
- two more teeth...both on the bottom
- almost consistently "saying" please and juice in sign language!
- reading, reading, reading...mainly books she can touch and feel (or that have kitty cats or puppy dogs in them, seriously!)
- turning the pages in the book you're reading to her
- eating food: grilled cheese, yogurt, bagels with cream cheese, kashi waffles, tortellini and Daddy's pizza
- gently petting our many small animals
- talking up a storm...about something or another
- taking longer morning and afternoon naps (whew)
- sitting on her Daddy's shoulders
- dancing to her music
- watching Praise Baby
- finding herself in a mirror, which always gets a smile!
- taking baths in her big girl (blowup) bathtub
- pulling all the books off her bookshelf and knocking the toys off too...but then she reads or plays!
- crying when we drop her Daddy off (not funny...so sad!)
- throwing herself backwards if she doesn't get her way
- slapping the food on her highchair tray
- knocking her juice cup to the floor when she's done with it...every time!
- crying (or whimpering) when Mommy leaves her in the nursery or at MMO (not funny either...so sad too!)
- feeding Abbey as much or more as she feeds herself!
- turning the TV on/off and the volume up/down
- chewing on cell phones/remote controls (she got so much slobber in my mom's cell phone that we thought she broke it...but after an hour of drying out, it turned back on!)
