so it seems like i come and update once a month, lol.  i suppose it is a better track record than some.

abby is doing good.  she is still crawling, and pulls to a stand like a pro. she does cruise around in her playpen and crib (she crab walks side to side) but she doesn't really do it on the furniture just yet.  she does try to scoop up toys while standing and usually falls on her butt. 

she is always in a good mood, EXCEPT for when we are changing her diaper. then she is a challenge. trying to change her is like wresting with an octopus. she is ridiculous! she screams, she rolls over, she shrieks, she cries. it's terrible. i hope this stage passes b/c it is really annoying.

she isn't very cuddly anymore but she does have her sweet moments. she is starting to learn how to give kisses & she will occasionally give you a kiss!   she loves to play, and she especially likes if you chase her, and grab her ankles so she can't go anywhere, she laughs a lot when you do that.  

when you come get her in the morning, she will climb up on the crib and then lift her arms up, or else she's just super smiley and so happy to see you! 

she is enjoying her activity table these days, as well as playing with violet (she can make violet play songs and stuff now) and her ring stacker. she likes to get the rings off the spindle and then chew on them, her favorites are the small red ring with the beads inside & the big blue ring.

she adores sasha, and is so excited when she sees sasha.  sasha actually lets abby pet her, as opposed to romeo, who runs away when abby comes after him.  abby likes to rub sasha's ears between her fingers, which sasha seems to enjoy too!
