Abbey's Phrases

Abbey is quickly learning new words and combining the words she already knows. Here are a few of the two-word phrases she says regularly:

1. 'Clean up.' Which she normally sings along with me when I'm trying to get her to pick up her toys
2. 'Where Mommy?' or 'Where Daddy?' This is one of my favorites. I normally hear her asking Eric "Where Mommy?" while he's getting her ready for bed and I'm already in bed--because of my early schedule.
3. 'No way.' This is not my favorite and I'm sure she picked it up from the other kids at daycare.
4. 'Go away.' Again, a phrase Abbey picked up from the kids at daycare--I'm not entirely sure she understands what it means.
5. 'All done.' Normally if Abbey's eating she'll tell us "All done" only to continue to keep eating. Sometimes I actually think she's saying it as a question to us "All done?"
6. 'Hi baby' or other variations: 'Hi puppy' (to the dogs next door or in her books) or 'Hi Abbey' (to Eric and me--she also picked this one up at daycare and hasn't quite figured out she is Abbey and should be saying the name of the person she's saying hi to). Simalarly she also says: 'Bye puppy'.

Little Helper

In preparation for Valentine's Day I decided to make brownies and Abbey was my little helper:

Doesn't she have just the cutest little face--even when covered with brownie mix?
She knows what's good in the world.

New Word

Several weeeks ago I posted a list of words Abbey knows how to say. Recently Abbey has picked up more words including 'bath' and 'pooh', but my favorite has to be 'pizza'! She is a girl after my own heart and gets excited about having pizza for dinner. So much so that last night when Eric brought home left over pizza from a work party, Abbey chanted "Pizza. Pizza. Pizza." over and over again while Eric was heating it up for her. She's been sick for the past several days and has had little to no appetite and has refused to eat just about anything we give her--except for pizza.
