Abilynn is just full of energy and so curious about the world. She loves to watch dad or me and learn how to do things, like open drawers, brush teeth, do laundry, etc. Here is what she/we did this month..
*Abilynn has tried new foods again. This time it was cottage cheese (loves it), Mandarin oranges (loves them), chunks of peaches and pears (not just the pureed kind anymore), ribs, corn bread, and french fries.
*She loves to sing. While driving in the car, she will bust out into song. I am not sure what she is singing but it is really cute. She also sings while sitting in her high chair.
*She visited Yellowstone. Abilynn likes the snow so she really liked this trip. She saw bison, elk, bald eagles, wolfs, bears, and a coyote. I will post more about this later.
*Abilynn learned to blow bubbles in the bath, all by herself. She started out drinking the water and then realized if she blew air out while lowering her face into the water, she would create bubbles. This is her favorite thing to do in the bath now.
*She has learned to fake cough. It sounds very real, and like she is choking, but she has this little smirk on her face when she does it. Everyone around will become quite because they are watching to make sure she is ok. All she wants is for you to notice her.
*She also visited St. George. She LOVED playing at the park and going down the slide. She also enjoyed trying to eat the leaves, something she is quickly learning not to do because they taste bad.
*Abilynn still explores by eating things she shouldn't, but has learned to spit things out if she doesn't like the taste.
*She loves to get in the drawers in our bathroom and pull my brushes out. She then proceeds to eat them or brush Hers or Mollys hair with them. She will get VERY upset when you take them away.
*She has perfected her cry to get what she wants, aka temper tantrum. I have learned to ignore them, dad still gets caught and gives in. JP is getting better but it will still be an uphill battle to make sure he doesn't always give her what she wants.
*Abilynn will crawl into my lap. I LOVE this. We will be playing on the floor and she will crawl over to me and climb into my lap. She will then take my hands and get me to hold the toys and play with them.
*She knows how to make the sound of a car, vroom. She really likes playing with her cars too. She will grab my hand and put a car into it so I play with her. She likes me to drive the car over her head and on her back. She will giggle while I do this.
*She plays the piano. She learned this one from her cousin Tymon. I was watching him out night and he was playing the piano. Abilynn was fascinated and crawled over to try it out. She kept looking back at me to make sure it was ok. I have a way cute picture of the two pianists!
*Abilynn fell asleep in her Uncle Tanners arms the other day. He was all impressed with himself! He said "Write this down. This is the first time a girl has fallen asleep in my arms."
*Abilynn is wearing 12-18 months pants, 6-18 months tops, 12-24 month dresses and skirts, 2t-3t socks, and size 4 shoe.
