She climbs!

My little Miss Abigail has really taken off in the past week or two. She's been doing a fierce army crawl for months. It was just a couple weeks ago that she found her knees. And, while she's still faster at army crawling to really get somewhere, finding her knees has opened up the world of 'pulling up', 'creeping' and today - 'stairs.'

So pulling up and climbing are officially her new favorite hobby. The funniest thing is to see her try to get down. When she's standing at the couch, she kinda reaches for the floor, braces her forehead on the edge of the couch, flails her little arms, and finally just plunks down. Tee hee! She's so cute.

Oh - and I got her to say, "Up!" I just modeled it for her a lot when I approached her to pick her up. Sure enough, she gets a knowing look in her eye and says, "Up." Kinda like, "Well, why didn't you tell me that's all I have to say?"

So her current vocabulary, at 10.5 months is: bye/buh-bye, uh-oh, kack or kack kack (quack - which she says at the sight of any animal), up. Well, she only imitates 'up' right now. She babbles mama and dada, but I don't think it's meaningful yet, so I don't count them. She also waves bye, and signs "So big!" and "all done."

Whew. They change so fast, these babies. I love seeing Abigail's personality develop!
