Here she is having her head stuck through the hole of a pig body. There's not much else to this. She seemed to have a good time at the farm last weekend, so long as she was fed and not tired. Which by the end of the trip she was both hungry and tired, indicating it was time to go.

Little Piggy

Its been almost 2 weeks since Abbi turned 15 months old. It seems I'm getting farther and farther from the actual day of the month when I get around to writing these.

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!

15 Months

The other day Abbi and I were upstairs playing. I was getting some clothes together for our visit to my parents and she was playing in the laundry basket in the room. Its cute to see how she interprets everyday things in completely different ways.

Playing

I have a habit of making fun of things. This morning, my little girl was no exception. For those that remember the 80's the way I do, it may have been more an homage to what I remember than making fun, but then again, I was probably just making fun of her.

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!

At the beginning of the week I posted my favorite picture from this past weekends photoshoot for Abbi. I figured today I would share Jenn's favorite. Jenn really likes the smile on her face and overall, just how cute she looks.

Jenns Favorite

We've noticed that Abbi is actually starting to play with other kids a bit more, and not be so single minded. I'm not saying they are sitting playing house together or anything, but she is more knowledgeable of other children and the nature of playing and sharing.

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.

Friends

Abbi got her first body paint this past Saturday. We expected it to be face painting, but it turned out that the line we were in, they did wrist/hand painting. Which I personally think was a bit better since I don't think Abbi would have sat still long enough for it.

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!
