"Uh oh" and sweet bedtime...

So I took abby in for her 12 month check up and after we'd got most of the chatting out she looked at Abby in the eyes (who was standing on her lap), and said, I'm suprised that she's not communicating more with you. No words or actions? I said, no not really. She said- "I feel like she's totally capable of more"--- I went home wondering if I was not doing enough to help her talk. The next day came Abby's 1st real word. "Uh oh!" It came out of no where- I said it when she dropped something off the high chair- and she repeated me! You could see the little wheels turning as she tries to figure out how to make the sound. So darling.

Here are a few other cute things I wanted to share- Some of them happened like 6 weeks ago, they're all a little scattered.
I really have been enjoying putting Abby down for bed lately. We snuggle in our cozy chair in the dark and I get to daydream while my little bundle sinks into dreamland. One night when I was patting her back as I usually do, and her little hand decided to pat mommy's shoulder too.
Another favorite moment of all time is how she had just finished her bottle and usually that's when she's almost asleep- but she sat right up and got her face close to mine and gave me the cutest squintee giggle. We gave eachother a few rounds of eskimo kisses and she LOVED it- she was squeeling with delight. I thought- oh crap- she'snever going to want to go to sleep now... ButI set her down in her crib anyway and she just snuggled with her blankie and was content to lie there hunched over with her bum in the air- her sleep position of choice these days.

She makes the cutest noises! She has a purr and loves to yell "Yeah!" all day long. "WowAwaWa..." is a typical sound for when she's playing with the dollhouse.
Abby has a hard time sleeping at church - too many cool people she could flirt with... Somehow I got her to fall asleep in my arms in the mother's room though and for one meeting she slept like a baby. The next meeting was going to start soon so they started playing the prelude music, and in her sleep she started bouncing to the music! She woke up a few seconds later, but she always has a pretty big reaction to music- She LOVES it :)
