A Little About our Little Princess...

A little about Abigail (2 weeks from turning 2 years old):

*She LOVES to sing. Her absolute favorite song is "Wheels on the Bus" and she has some great moves to go with the words. She also loves ABC, Twinkle Twinkle, and Itsy Bitsy Spider. This week she started singing the Clean-up Song out of nowhere..she must sing it at school. She also likes to sing "Alright, Alright" from a country song and the "Hey" part of Jingle Bells.

*She is in love with "Baby Sister" (that's what she calls Caitlin, although she's starting to use her name more). Funny story: She kept telling her teachers about "Baby Sister" but it comes out more like "Baby Thither." One of her teachers came up to me and asked out Peter was...??? They all thought she was saying "Baby Peter"! Anyways, she loves to help change her diaper and loves to rock her to sleep. She's also on Monkey Duty...that's Caitlin's pacifier she gets when she's crying.

*She can count to 15 and sing her ABC's (sort of).

*She has two MAJOR fears right now: The Vacuum and Strands of Hair. She is so afraid of the vacuum...but it doesn't have to be on. If she can see it, she won't go in that room. I had it in our basement and she wouldn't go downstairs...and even though it's been gone for a week, she still stands at the top of the stairs when we are going downstairs and cries about the vacuum. She is also terrified of strands of hair....????? If there is a strand of hair on the ground, or a fuzz for that matter, she screams bloody murder and yells "Bee". We have no idea where this came from but the other day she was screaming bloody murder in her highchair and I was terrified to see what had happened (bloody finger, etc) but it was a strand of hair next to her chair. So funny...but so odd!

*She amazes us everyday with the words she knows. She picks up words very quickly, so we have had to watch our language or she'll repeat it! A couple days ago I told her she had a cute butt once..and now she tells me everyday about her cute butt!

*While we haven't officially started potty training, she goes on the potty about once or twice a day on her own. I am hoping it will make potty-training in January easier!

*She has a few obsessions right now. She is obsessed with "stars," especially her Twilight Turtle that makes stars on her wall and stars in books. She is obsessed with buckles! She has to unbuckle and buckle everything. Especially when Caitlin gets out of her carseat...that gets instantly rebuckled with a baby doll. She is also obsessed with spiders and bees and calls everything one of these two words. She is also obsessed with Baby Bop (??) and has a Baby Bop sticker that she's been carrying around for days now. Lastly, she is obsessed with asking "Where Mommy Go?" or "Where Daddy Go?" if one of us leaves the room. It goes on as long as we are gone, even if it's for hours

Here's a video of her singing her ABC's....but she was distracted with her book and it was taking a long time, so it was cut short!
