Papa, Mama, blue, spoon, flower, yellow...what do all these things have in common? Words now in Abigail's lexicon!
She recognizes a flower on her shirt and then in her book!
Plus she gives lots of hugs to her stuffed animals. And sure enough when we read the book, Hug, by Jez Alborough, in the middle of the story she took the book and hugged it. So adorable.
As someone in our building told us, "Abigail Rose sure is growing."

Hummmmmmmmmm
Abigail likes to hum to herself. While she's walking around (with or without assistance) or eating (though Jonathan was delighted to hear her say "yum" while she was eating something he cooked for her) or really just any part of the day she is content. The sound just makes the world seem right.
When she stands on her own to challenge herself to walk one step forward and then go down to the floor for safety she has a very proud look that she's done such a daring feat.
She tried scallops and mussels--eh! She still loves her carbs and especially her fruit. Plums now are a big hit.
In other words, she's having a grand ol' time being one:
And congratulations to Papa for a terrific gala last night!

Gimme Three Steps...
Gimme Three Steps, Gimme Three Steps Miss, and you'll walk right to your Mama.
Abigail took three steps this evening, going from Papa to Mama. Her first real unsupported steps too, and we were both here to see it. She was even more proud of her accomplishment than we were, if that was at all possible.
Hooray, Walker!

A Budding Independence
Our little lady loves to dance, especially to Michael Jackson and The Jackson Five. But she keeps to her own rhythm too, even when there's no music. She bounced up and down when we put her on a bouncy horse at the Underhill Playground. She was pushed on a tricycle too--she loved it!
She's also trying to do many things for herself. While on her changing table she reached for her shoe and tried to put it on her foot, she maneuvers her walker now to get it out of the way of any obstructions and can pull herself into a standing position on a stool that stands in front of her crib.
She recognizes and anticipates the page in the book, Spring is Here, that has a dog on it. She points to it saying, "da!"
She likes to leans in for Eskimo kisses--which she thinks are hysterical.
She visited Mama's school and was the belle of the ball. She walked up and down the halls (holding Mama's hands), entering classrooms, saying hello to the students, she's ready for school already. (not yet little lady!)
