Miss Abby is Ten Months!!

Our little Abby girl is ten months old. I cannot believe that in two months she will be a year old! Ahhhhh where does the time go??? Here is a little about our little buggy as I like to call her:)

Abby wakes up every morning now around 7 am. As hard as it is for me to get up I really love this time with her in the morning. She is very happy in the morning. We enjoy a bowl of rice cereal and fruit together (no I do not really partake...although i do like some baby food-ha!). She is a crawling maniac. She is constantly on the move...just like Andrew. She can stand up and walk along the furniture now, and push a walker and walk. She tries to stand up by herself too and today stood for a solid 20 sec or so. We think she will be walking in no time, which is hilarious considering the size of her body. She is tiny!

As for her stats....I have no idea. We are "out of network" with our health insurance, and I didn't realize that and took her to her 8 month appointment here. The bill proved to not be worth it:) We can wait another month until we are back in Utah to get her height and weight. But no doubt she is a tiny one. She loves to eat. Still is eating lots of baby food and bottles, but she wants to try our food all the time. She loves ice cream, grapes, strawberries, crackers, cereal, bread, avocados and really anything we stick in her mouth! She has two bottom teeth and the top four are all about to bust through...I think two may have today. Her hair is getting really long in the front. I don't know what to do with it. She is the wiggliest baby in the world so it is almost impossible for me to get any sort of bow or anything in her hair...so for the time being I just let it flow:)

Abby is starting to say some words. Her first words were "clap! clap!" She loves to clap her hands and say this. She also has a stuffed animal who she has fallen in love with. His name is Ziggy the Zebra. He was given to Andrew when he was born from his Auntie Rachel. Funny how now that Abby suddenly loves Ziggy so much Andrew is SOOOO interested in him. He likes to steal him from her. We are in the process of learning to share in our house right now:) Abby definitely can say 'Ziggy'. It is hilarious. It is obviously her own version of the word...but you can completely tell that that is what she is saying. Whenever she sees Ziggy she buries her face in him and gives him lots of loves. Sometimes she will sit in her bed saying "ziggy ziggy ziggy" over and over until we come bring him to her. She has said "mama" once that I can recall. We are working on that one. She says "dada" lots...I am pretty sure she knows that she is referring to him when she says it. She is starting to say "baba" more now too. She is starting to wave sometimes too.

Abby is very girly. We went to the Gap the other day and I tried a little coat on her. I am not kidding she flexed her arms in front of her to look and squealed with happiness. I love it! She likes to sit at my feet when I get ready in the bathroom and just hang out with me. She also likes to play with the dishwasher while I do the dishes. She follows me everywhere. It is very cute. She loves her brother Andrew too. She follows him a lot too. Sometimes he doesn't like that so much. But mostly he is very sweet to her with a few exceptions:)

That's our little Abby girl! Here are some pics I took today. As you can see they are a little fuzzy sometimes....she WOULD NOT stop moving. So I did my best. We love her!!!
