wow, have i neglected this blog!!!!

i really didn't realize it had been so long.

so what is going on? abby is so big these days.  she is almost two, after all.  and that fact blows my mind!!

she is speaking in little sentences now, and she is so funny & cute.

she is starting to be bad, though i don't know if it's on purpose or it's just the age. probably a combo of both.  but she is constantly playing in the cat's water dish which makes me crazy.  she also wants to jump on the couch (she has fallen off the couch once and bumped her head, she was fine, but cried) and we hoped she would learn a lesson, but nope. she was right back on the couch. howie yelled at her (and he has never really yelled at her) and she burst into tears but i think it scared her enough that now she knows going on the couch to jump is bad. she still tries, but if we give her a stern look and tell her to get down, she actually does now.

i had some lindor truffles from mother's day & she really liked them. she knows the word for candy but was forgetting it, but wanted one of those truffles so she was calling them "donuts."

she also likes giving high fives and she jsut sometimes runs up to you & asks for one randomly!! so cute!

she loves youtube and wants to see vidoes of cats & babies.  she loves the cats and likes giving romeo hugs & kisses, though he less pleased about this attention.  she also tries to drive sasha by her tail, like a rudder which pretty funny.   sasha doesn't seem to mind the attention as much, but i think she is just more used to abby since abby has always been around for sasha.  she also tries to get sasha to do things like follow her. she's used to ghengis who DOES follow her and comes when she says come.  cats, not so much :)

abby still likes the same foods. nothing new there. she says so much, i can't even begin to remember everything!! which is good.  ;) she speaks in little sentences now too.

she is really just a lot of fun to be around.  she is so curious & funny too.  she still loves her blankies!
