Another milestone this weekend. 20 Months. We're another third of the way towards her second birthday! The biggest change that has happened in the last month happened this past weekend. We modified Abbi's bed so that she could get in and out of it on her own. And much like every other parent on Earth, we're struggling to get her to sleep in her bed. The last 3 nights have been pretty rough with her. She wakes up and wants to come in with us, so its definitely difficult.

I'm proud of Abbi for figuring out how to get out of the crib, I think it takes a certain ammount of determination to want to accomplish that goal, regardless of the personal danger it poses. So for that, I'm proud of her.

We recently went out and bought some new clothes for Abbi to get her through the next couple of months before spring/summer settle in. It was crazy to shop in a different section of the store. Given her height, we no longer shop in the baby section, we full on shop in the "toddler" section now, another crazy change for us.

Abbi is doing great. She's just about healed up from her most recent laser treatment, and otherwise healthy. I'll be glad for spring to settle in so we can stop with the constant runny nose she's had since December. I swear each day she learns another word, or we learn how to understand another new word of hers. Last night I picked her up from daycare and she kept saying what sounded like "ours", which to her meant "horse". It wasn't until she said it 20 times and pointed that I had any idea what she was saying. So while she's learning a lot, its definitely a struggle sometimes to actually understand her, which I'm sure frustrates her too.

  1. Abbi looks so pretty all dressed up. It's hard for children and parents because they try so hard to talk and parents try so hard to understand. You all are doing so good with her.
