Abby continues to amaze me with her speech and conversation skills and development. I have to remind myself sometimes that's she's just barely two and a half! I suppose it's that combination of being a girl and a second born. She speaks full sentences and can hold her own in any conversation. It's an interesting combination : her speech is so advanced, yet she still doesn't know all her colors and has only recently started counting [she makes it to six in correct order, then messes up seven & eight, before counting nine to twelve]. With Ryan we could see the wheels turning, but he couldn't get the words out; Abby gets carried away and talks up a storm, guess it's a female thing :) I can't keep up with all the funny things she says, but here are a few recent ones that I scribbled down:
A while back we were driving and she took her socks off. When we got home, she picked them up, and asked me: "You help me remember we can wash these?" Yes, Sweet Abs, don't I always wash your dirty clothes?!
A week or two ago we were eating apple slices when Abby excitedly announced "there's apple juice in here!"
And perhaps my favorite Abby moment was last week when I went to free her from yet another failed nap attempt: She was standing at her door, rocking her baby, and singing "You're going to miss these days" over and over. My heart melted. For those of you that don't know, while not exactly the right words, that's a lyric from the Trace Adkins song that I used to sing to Ryan when he was a baby. Ryan and Abby love it when I sing it to them now, especially if it involves picking them up and dancing crazily around the room!
