I wonder as she gets older what her level of technology proficiency will be. I love tech stuff and so does Jenn. I mean we both have laptops for personal use, so its not that far off before we get one for Abbi. We've actually got a little netbook waiting for her! I get excited thinking about the ability to teach her things I know well and imparting that knowledge to her.

15 Months
Another month older and another month smarter and more experienced. She's been working at cutting 4 more teeth this past month, and has 2 of them through the gums. She's been working on all 4 incisors at once, and now has the top 2 to use. She's only got the bottom 2 left and then her "2 year" molars. She's got a lot of teeth!
I mentioned last month that she was growing out of her size 4 shoes and into some 5's. Well, she's growing out of those too. We've been looking at getting her some size 6 shoes, that she'll definitely be in by the time she's 16 months.
She's starting explore more in the bathtub during bath time. When she was younger she just kinda sat there, and even once we pulled out the baby tub and went with the big tub for her, she just kinda sat there. Now she kinda runs around the bath tub having tons of fun, splashing and playing with toys.
Around the house she's everywhere. She's in everything, that hasn't changed. We finally got some child-prevention items to keep her out of some of the cabinets because she was making it to messy. She eats like a champ still. She loves fruit which is awesome. Instead of wanting all kinds of junk food she wants fruit like apples, grapes and assorted berries.
We've been working really hard with her on her speech the past month as well. She's still struggling to get much out that we can identify, but her talking has picked up considerably and she'll hopefully break through soon. She's got ma or mom, and da down. She knows doggie and we think "no way" as well. She has really good recognition of words, its just the repetition we're working on.
This is another picture of her looking cute as always that we had taken a week ago. The photographer suggested a stool which we knew she'd love, and as you can see, she did!

Cheetara
As soon as I saw her, the word Cheetara came to mind. This was the name of one of the characters on the cartoon Thundercats. It was a girl character, that was, yup a Cheetah basically. With Abbi's little print pants I couldn't help myself!

Friends
This past weekend after dinner I snapped this picture of Audrey and Abbi walking to the car while holding hands with Jake and Ange. Its cute that they both want to hold hands with one another.

Paint Job
Jenn decided to get a butterfly painted on her wrist. You can see here her initial reaction to having it finished, and in the top I added a little close up of the butterfly, since you can't really see it in the big image all that well. She seemed to enjoy it, and didn't try to rub it off, so thats good!

Playset
Also - Abbi went to the doctor yesterday, so you can see her updated stats on the side now. She's up to 25 lbs, and gained another inch in height, putting her up to 32.5 inches!

Making Music
One thing she found were these little pianos, which of course she had to have both of. It was cute to watch her play with them, and its always nice for Jenn and I to see Abbi take an interest in music, something we both hope she'll want to pursue.

Best Buds
Abbi plays with Max a good bit, and hopefully as she gets older and he learns to like her more, he'll want to play with her. I still think he's a little bitter that we had her and took away from his time with us. Slowly but surely though, after almost 15 months, he seems to be adjusting to having Abbi around.

My Little Girl
Last night Abbi and I were upstairs and Max was at the bottom. So I told her to tell him to come and she gestured different from her wave to him and called for him to come up. Amazing. This is a picture of her from church two weeks ago.

Little Climber
Jenn was incredibly proud of her for being confident and doing it on her own. Abbi of course loved it all, so she then proceeded to go around the loop a few more times. It was really cute to hear her coming down the slide as she was laughing and enjoying herself all the way down.
