Photo Shoot & Top 10 List

Today Abigail had to wear something "sports" for gymnastics...so I decided to put her in her Bears uniform since I don't know how much longer she'll fit into it. I wanted to take a picture or two..but Abigail was being a HAM! She was really into a photo shoot..I would say "Abigail, Say Cheese" and she would sit down and pose. It was funny...so here's a random photo shoot for no reason other than she was happy!


Can you say "Ham"?

She kept sitting in my lap and trying to get a picture....

This one is not from today...but a few days ago this is how she woke up from nap. Her hair was OUT OF CONTROL!!!!

I love this little pose..and of course Kramer had to get in it too...Abigail had sat in cheese in her high chair so he was helping me clean it up!

Rob and I were talking last night about how funny Abigail is and how there are so many things we love that she is doing...so I thought I'd keep these memories by making my top 10 list!

Top 10 Favorite Things about Abigail at 16 months

10. She walks everywhere with her hands behind her back! (It finally occured to me today that it's the same walk my Grandpa Joe used to do....what great memories!)

9. She learned "Thank You" in sign language and knows when to do it now without me telling her. Today the man at Costco drew her a smiley face on our receipt and she signed "Thank You" to him without me saying to.

8. She doesn't know the difference between "Thank You" and blowing a kiss...so it's the same thing! The man at Costco thought Abigail was blowing him a kiss! :)

7. She is really into playing. She loves her 2 dolls (baby doll and cheerleader) and she is always giving them a bottle or making her cheerleader doll clap her hands when she cheers.

6. She learned how to crawl up on the couch doing a crazy move that only monkeys can do!

5. She loves her blankie...it goes with her everywhere. She loves the smell of it (my mom said I was the same way when I was a kid) and is always putting it on our faces so we can smell it too!

4. She has a "dance" she does when she wants us to laugh at her...she walks in circles and always checks to make sure we're watching!

3. She learned to "jump" in gymnastics and loves to jump...she doesn't know her feet aren't leaving the ground.

2. She still LOVES to read. Her favorite continues to be Brown Bear!

1. Even though she has had some rough days teething, she is the most loving, happy little girl. She has a smile that lights up the room! She laughs at herself all the time...and makes us laugh.

That's our little princess at 16 months! You might wonder what we can't wait for next...we have 2 things! 1. Teething to be over! 2 of her molars are all the way through, the other 2 are half way through. We should buy stock in Baby Motrin. 2. Abigail being able to talk more. She lately has been frustrated because she wants something but can't tell us. She has her own little language but I haven't figured it out yet. So she resorts to a lot of yelling and even some pushing. She'll push me to the fridge if she wants milk or to the pantry if she wants food. Oh, this kid...she makes me laugh!

Happy Thursday!!!!
