Counting surprises

Hello everyone! Just wanted to write a quick post and share a couple cute stories and pictures.

Last night during Abigail's bath, she spilled her bath crayons and started putting them back in her crayon cup, counting as she placed them in the cup. 1....2....3....ummm...mumble.....6.....7....8...9...10...11! So, much to our surprise, she counts to 11 but has trouble with 4 & 5. I have been working on 1-5 with her, since I knew she was having troubles with 4 & 5, I had no idea she knew 6-11. Later she was counting again, but it sounded like this "muunooo.....dooos...cinco....seis....seis" Haha.... she was trying to count in Spanish, thanks Dora the Explorer! (Dora is her favorite TV show.)

Also a few days ago she was eating some ice chips and dropped some on the pugs. She said "sorry!" I said "Oh, were you apologizing to the pugs?" She nodded and said, "Sorry I drop ice, you, puppies!" I think my jaw probably dropped, that is the longest "sentence" she has said so far. :)

The other really cute thing she does is to try to sing the alphabet. She gets some of the letters and just hums/mumbles for parts. At the end she says "Double x, whyyyy, seeeee, know I know my a b ccccc, mumble mumble mumble..." All to the ABC tune. It is really cute, we need to try to catch it on video.

March already!?!

We have all been taking turns getting sick. This week it is daddy's turn. Last week it was Abigail:Using 'big woof' as a pillow, and she even managed a smile!


These two are from yesterday. We were outside enjoying the nice weather and sunshine.
These two are from this morning, just because I thought she looked so cute standing with her doll. :)

Some of Abigail's new words & expressions include:
"Yes, I do."
"Abigail do it!"
"Come on, puppy!"
"Wait, kitty!"
"Look mommy, looook!"
"Mine!"
"Ooops, sorry mommy"
And not new but her current favorite (simple but an old classic) "NO!"
There are more but that is all I can think of right now. :)
