17 Months

In another month Abigail will hit the year and a half mark. I still can't believe she's 17 months already.

Her little temper personality is really starting to shine. She knows what she wants but can't quite communicate with words yet. She's really good about whining and pointing so she can attempt to get her wants expressed to us.

She's learning more and more words each day. She's added a couple words to her vocabulary since last month. "Juice" and "Grandpa" are the ones that come to my mind at the moment.

Shoes. The girl loves them. And it's so cute when she says, "zooz" while putting them on. She wears them around the house all the time. They're easily accessible to her so she's constantly putting different shoes on. And if I could find a pair of flip flops in her size, she'd be able to wear them. She wears all of our sandals around the house all the time. It's so funny to see her wearing Mommy & Daddy's sandals around the house.

She's still eating like crazy so I'm interested to see how much she weighs at her well baby check up next month. Just yesterday I was looking at her sitting in her car seat and thought she looked taller. Of course, she also has to get a couple shots next month, but they should be the last ones until she's two.

She's still trying to get some teeth. They must be really close to breaking through because her hands have constantly been in her mouth lately. I gave her some teething tablets this morning and they seemed to help keep her hands out of her mouth. This is the first time she's let us know she's working on some teeth. She has been pretty cranky with a capitol C.

Her hair is really starting to grow in the back. And it's still curly! Yay! She loves to sit in her Bumbo in the mornings to get her hair done. And as you saw in the picture, she still loves to sit in it even in the living room. She's so silly!
