Yep. 13 months last week. Where has the time gone? Abby did lots of nap striking this week - standing up and bouncing in her bed while crying took precedence. Maybe we're moving from 2 naps to 1?
We went to a concert last week with her friend Pema. It was a marionette type thing (which was actually really random) but the girls didn't care. They just had a great time looking at the other kids and dogs and shoving banana peels in their mouths. Well, Abby did that. Pema was much more refined since she walks. She took to shoving banana bread in her mouth. Take that, Abby.
Suddenly, just today, Abby loves (really, really, really loves) Goodnight Moon. Why? I've been reading this to her for 6 months and it was like any of her other books. But today... I read it eight times. That's eight times. Eight. I know it by heart. She was adamant that I read it over and over so we got to work on signing "please" which she hasn't quite gotten the hang of yet.
She's definitely gotten the hang of climbing on the fireplace, sticking her hands in Red's water bowl, touching electrical sockets, and throwing food off her tray on to the floor just so Red will run over and eat it. These are all things that I'm trying to train her not to do. I'm failing. At least this week.
She's really trying to talk now, too. Today she said "tickle" and recently she said "baby" and "dog" - or some slurred variation. It's a start! Speaking of babies, she's obsessed. I have a baby cookbook on the counter and e v e r y s i n g l e t i m e we wash her hands (yes, every single time) she points wildly until I flip open the page to the "baby girl" who is actually a very big girl, eating something that looks delicious that I will surely never cook for her. Here it is ...
And, shoes. She loves to hold this certain pair of Robeez with pineapples on them. She does not want them on her feet but she loves to hold them.

In short, she's getting very tall and her little belly is really cute when it's full. I am pleased to admit that I have no idea how much she weighs now that we gave her scale back to our lactation consultant. Somewhere around 17 pounds, I imagine.
4. sleep
5. hysterical baby laughter at things like steam (more on this in a later post)

I love Goodnight Moon! Whenever it gets to the part with the old lady whispering... I always say "hush!" I can't wait to chat with you Abby. Let's do another concert on Wednesday! Too fun. Maybe this time my Mom will make a healthy dessert treat for us to share.
