Abigail's 1st Haircut

This post is a little bit behind..but about 2 weeks ago Aunt Julie and I took Abigail to get her 1st haircut.  I was not ready to part with her baby curls yet, so it was a very conservative haircut, but she needed a little trim!  She seemed to enjoy being "pampered"...and really enjoyed sitting on the horse, but next time has requested the car!  :)

Pre-Haircut

Not quite sure about this yet....

There you go...she found the mirror!

Good view of Mini-Snippets...it's really cute for kids!

Now it's getting fun!!!!

Post-Haircut (Still long, but the ends were trimmed. Next haircut I know the babycurls are going to have to go...sob sob.)

While we're at it..What's Abigail up to???

T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

Just kidding, she's a really good kid...she's just into an "exploring" stage.  She likes to get into the dog treats, dog food, mommy's makeup, medicine cabinet, etc!  If you take your eyes off of her and it's too quiet, you can guarantee there is a clean-up involved! 

She has also taken her roll of "big sister" very serious.  She reminds me when it's time for a bottle, diaper change, or nap.  She's a really great big sister!  She doesn't seem jealous, just wants to help at all times!  

(I had to work and apparently I wasn't supervising well enough...Caitlin got a diaper change from Abigail, including her first experience wearing big girl undies!  I got a great picture of it!)

Potty Training is going pretty good.  She has an accident or two a day, but I think the problem is that I will often put her in pull-ups, and it's confusing her.  I need to just stick with undies (other than naps, she's not ready for naps yet).  We often hear "I do it"...so we are trying to encourage her independence while still making sure it's not too messy!  She really likes to choose her "underwears" and usually picks "Minnie", but also loves "Elmo", "Ponies" (My Little Ponies), and "Cinderellas" (Princess).

Her language has exploded!!  She's using 4-5 word sentences constantly.  Yesterday in the car, she talked constantly for 2 hours without a break!  I can't even begin to list her words because she has too many!  Sometimes, it amazes us what she knows.  For example, she'll tell Caitlin "Sorry Charlie" if she's crying!  Or she'll tell me "Later Gator" when leaving a room.  She is also picking up EVERYTHING we say, so we are working at using kid-appropriate wording!  She loves to sing.  Her favorite song right now is "Happy Birthday, dear Pampa!"  She's starting to learn her letters, which really amazes me, and her colors.  Her favorite color is blue!  She is really into coloring, playdough, and her babydoll.  She mimics everything I do, especially when it comes to her babydoll.  She feeds her, changes her diaper, swaddles her, slings her, and props her up to watch tv!  She is in a really fun stage!!!!!
