New words and sounds

Abigail started signing the word, "more" when asking for more food to eat--very exciting! She's even saying the word. It sounds like "more" but she articulates the "r" sound very softly. She's also saying, "ball," the "l" sound also is very soft.

We bought her a stuffed lioness, Nala, from the The Lion King, back in Florida when we saw her eyes light up when seeing and touching her. She still adores her. We've also introduced her to a teddy bear and a stuffed doll--all these pals are referred to as Nala as well. Interesting, isn't it?

One other sound she's been testing out is the blowing kisses sound. When she reaches out for you or you plant a kiss on her, she says, "MMMMMM-wah!"

She's also very interested in the toilet. She loves to crawl into the bathroom, pull herself up and stand, proudly, before the throne. We used to close the bathroom door because of Fink and her escapades, but now it's closed because of our little lady.

Plus, she's showing she understands the concept of, in and out. She takes a ball and puts it in the green jug, and then out:
It's an astonishing thing to watch her blossom right before our eyes.

She also throws her hands up when you ask her, "how big is Abigail?" Her response is,"So big!" So, she's getting the "up" concept, not so much the "down." That's because her whole existence is for Up, Up, Up! Stand up, climb up, reach up, hands up!
