She eats her veggies much better now, thanks yo gabba gabba

Abigail has gotten so much better about eating her veggies. Other then just continuing to offer a variety of veggies, one thing that really helped was a part from the children's show Yo Gabba Gabba.

I found a Youtube link for the segment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9PqjMSNfkU

I started telling her "green beans want to go to the party in your tummy!" Or speaking as the green beans "can I go to the party?" It worked like a charm! Now she eats her veggies and sometimes sings "party party".

The show is sometimes bizarre but we love it! They sing about things like safety, kindness...good stuff.

Here is an article about the show:

The other big news is she has started speaking in short "sentences" occasionally. Before Christmas we were watching a cartoon and she said "mouse up tree" when a little mouse ran up a Christmas tree. Today she said "Uh oh, onion all gone" when she saw that my onion drawer in the kitchen is empty.

Happy New Year!

Happy 2008! We celebrated new years eve and new years day/Papa's birthday at the Nanny Papa house.

Today it's back to business. Work, cleaning house and dancing to new music. You can guess which one of us is doing what. ;) Here are some photos of Abigail enjoying her new Wiggles CDs.

Clap to the music!


Running around the coffee table, clapping, and dancing!

Time for Abigail's close up!
And this look means the photo session is OVER.

Wishing everyone health and happiness for 2008!
