Abigail is 18mo. old today! I cannot believe it! It's been the best 18mo. of my life thus far. I love you Abigail Jahn Ramsey :)
Abby is becoming very independent these days, but in a way that is breaking my heart alittle bit. She use to climb up in the rocking chair and lay back in my arms so I could read to her. For the past week or so she has been sitting next to me in the rocking chair during book time instead of on my lap. Several times this week she has even patted the floor, as if to say come on down mama, sit with me! She has started holding the books herself from time to time and reading them to me, pointing things out like I do and wanting me to say what they are. It's really cute but jus
t another sure sign that time is marching on!
She must have been feeling like a baby again today because tonight she let me hold her in my arms and read to her like we always have. I was talking to my mom a bit ago and she said Abby let her rock her today before nap time and sing for 10 minutes. That's a very long time for our little wiggle worm. Sounds like she wanted to be cuddled today by her mama and Mimi! I need to hold these moments close to my heart and not let them go because she is growing up before my eyes.
One book we were reading tonight was about musical instruments (it happens to be a Chick Fil A book you get in a kids meal, go figure out of the one hundred books that she has this is a favorite) and when we got to the drum page she wanted to get up. She walked over to her closet and hit the door which is a cue for please mommy open the door. So I did and she pulled out her drum, I loved that she so quickly made the connection. She walked around her room for quite a while banging on her little drum and dancing. She then gave it to me and wanted me to do the same....so I did! She thought it was great and danced around the room to my lovely little drum beat. :)
Really, it's the little things....
