Happy 20 Months Abigail (9 Days Late) with Video
Posted in Media Monday, Video and tagged with Birthday, Daughter, Toddler, Video on 11/16/2009 11:27 am by loriYou are acting like such a big girl these days, and you’re so much fun.
- You’ve almost got 16 teeth; your top canines are coming in a little bit. But you’re a trooper through it all. You never even wake up at night from pain. Thank you! I hope your baby sibling will sleep as well as you always have.
- You know words to songs, and you’ll sing them, if we pause during a song.
- Sabra is playing with you a little more (as you’ll see in your video). She actually goes and gets her toys when you throw them now. You think she’s the greatest thing on earth.
- You say your own prayers every night or whenever prompted. I love them!
- You can say up to eight word sentences. Here are some sentences that stick out:
-”Just look at that pumpkin flashlight!”
-”I want to get in bed.” (I sing you a few songs while rocking you before your nap time. Before I sing you a new song, I ask, “Do you want to sing ____ or get in bed?” It’s so cute when you say you want to get in bed. Awesome.)
-”Shhhh. quiet; ______ is sleeping.” We act like we’re sleeping, and you come give us a kiss to wake us up. You even kiss Momma’s belly to wake up baby.
-”I see you later, Alligator.”
-”The girl is eating a bite of [an] orange orange.”
-”Ooopsy Daisy, Elbows.” You have this thing about touching your elbows, especially at night when you’re going to bed. Now that it’s winter, a lot of your night time shirts have long sleeves, and sometimes you get frustrated when you can’t pull your sleeves up to touch your elbows.
-”[Abi cough] Bless you Abi. [fake Abi cough] Bless you Abi. [fake Abi cough] Bless you Abi. [repeat process about 20 times].”
- You are learning to obey really well. Most times, I’ll tell you to come here, or stop doing something, and you will!
- You got your first real hair cut. And we’re trying to grow out your hair, but it’s an annoying process because it’s as straight, thin, and whispy as your daddy’s, and it doesn’t want to go anywhere except for hanging in your eyes. But you’re better about wearing bows to keep your top hair from getting into your eyes.
- You’re still afraid of the vacuum cleaner. I think it’s the only thing you fear. We kinda like it though, because you’ll cuddle with whomever is not vacuuming. And this is the only time you cuddle. And by cuddle, I mean sit still on our laps.
- In big church, you say, “Amen” really loudly after prayers. Yesterday, you also saw one of your friends, and YELLED “Maddison!” All those around laughed.
Here’s your video:

Lori,
You will be so thankful that you took the time to make these videos and keep all the little things done that she does. Time will fly by so fast and at least you will have these to remember just how precious she was and also to look back and thank God for the time that you had to be at home with her.. She is really so sweet and a joy to me. Truly grandchildren are the greatest gifts to us older folks. mom
