Abbey's New Chair

So I'm a little behind on my blogging because our computer died and our laptop doesn't have software to edit pictures. I was going to wait until our computer was fixed, but I'm not sure how long that will be, and I actually had some time today to make a post!!

This is Abbey's cute new chair. One of my friend's in Ohio (Andrea) has a mom that is addicted to yard sales, and can find anything you want. I told her I was looking for a little chair for Abbey to sit in, but didn't want to spend alot of money on it. She found this Dora bean bag chair for 50 cents!!! Now that's a bargain! It looks brand new, in fact I don't think it has been used at all.

Abbey loves it, most of the time! She hasn't really figured out how to turn around and sit in it without our help, but once she is finally sitting, she just lounges back and enjoys it. We had our laptop in front of her with the visualizer going while the music was playing. In the picture above, she is actually dancing. She thinks she is pretty cool stuff when she is in her chair!

I can't believe how fast she is growing and learning everyday! She has really started picking up on things and has learned how to tell Eric and I "NO!" It's really cute when she says it, but it makes me worry that I am telling her no too much. We have an elephant book that tells a story of an elephant that finally sneezes and it's one of Abbey's favorites. She loves it when we pretend to sneeze and can say "aaa-um" with us. She has also learned how to say thank you. She has a very good eye when it comes to spotting small pieces on the floor and will pick things up and bring them to me and then say thank you. She also talks alot of jibberish, which is really cute too.

One of my favorite things she does is when she plays "do" with Branson. I think she picked it up on our trip to Washington D.C. Branson and Lizzy were playing peek-a-boo with her and I think she was trying to say boo back, but it comes out as "do." So now everytime she sees Branson she starts saying "do" and just laughs. Actually, she doesn't even have to see Branson to start the game. Alot of times she will start saying it and laughing and then walk over to the door to go outside because she knows that's where she sees Branson. She also plays it with herself when she is trying to go to sleep. I hear her in her crib going "do" then laughing, she'll do this a few times, then usually cry for a few minutes, then play again.

I think I could go on and on about all the cute and fun things Abbey does, but I better save some of it for more posts!
