It’s hard to believe that today is Abby’s 2nd birthday! Abigail was born at 4:53 pm and weighed a mere 5 lbs. 12 oz. and was 18 inches long. I was induced 11 days early due to low amniotic fluid and it was discovered that the placenta wasn’t working all that great anymore, which is why she was so tiny and why my fluid was so low.
Tiny, beautiful newborn.
I was in love with all her dark hair!
1 year old
Why hello there Ambra….
Abby
And now, my tiny newborn is a big 2 year old girl!
She loves to play with her baby dolls
And loves Tot School…when I do it
At 2 years old, Abby knows virtually all of the names of the upper and lower case letters, and most numbers 1-10. She counts up to 6 or 7 also. She knows all the main shapes, but only 2 or 3 colors. She is, and always has been, really good at puzzles and manipulative-type toys. She has a large vocabulary, but needs some Mommy and Daddy (and Brother) translation for other people to understand her. Frequently her sentences are 2 or 3 words with lots of gibberish in between. I think her brain is too fast for her mouth! She loves to sing and her current favorite songs, in addition to the normal like “Sunbeam” and “Twinkle Twinkle”, are “Love you Like a Love Song” and “Moves Like Jagger”. Every morning and afternoon when I go to get her from her crib she pops up and says, “I seep (sleep) good!”. I guess I asked her if she slept good every time so now she answers automatically. She is a Daddy’s girl and simply adores her Papa (my Dad)! She talks about Nana and Papa every single day and when we are with them, she is Papa’s little shadow.
She idolizes her big brother and they have great fun together…when they aren’t fighting. She’s decided the best way to assert herself is to screech at Adam. It’s lovely.
I am so in love with my little Abigail and can’t wait to see her as a big sister to her Baby Brother in a few months!
Happy Birthday Abigail Elizabeth!!
