{itty bitty abbie}: Things Abbie says

http://ittybittyabbie.blogspot.com/2009/03/things-abbie-says.html

Monday, March 30, 2009. I once wrote a post. About how the learning processes of young minds amaze me. And, once more, I got surprised by the things Abbie picks up along the way - things I never even dreamed of teaching her, but that she nevertheless grasps from her daily experiences. A few days ago, while I was getting Abbie ready to go out, she went nuts. She started calling out her typically loud “dish! 8221; (this please). I offered them to her, “Abbie, Is this what you want?

{itty bitty abbie}: Word Games

http://ittybittyabbie.blogspot.com/2009/05/word-games.html

Thursday, May 28, 2009. Abigail is becoming more and more vocal, and has been able to communicate in semi-full sentences for a couple of months. I am amused and ever surprised at the things that she comes up with! Tonight, after dinner, I suddenly detected that Abigail may have gone number two. So I asked her, as I usually do, "Honey, did you make a poopie? She looked at me straight in the eye, and with the most serious look in her face, she responded: "Abbie toot a poopie! Shelby scared the baby! Waving...

{itty bitty abbie}: A Letter to Abigail

http://ittybittyabbie.blogspot.com/2008/07/letter-to-abigail.html

Tuesday, July 1, 2008. A Letter to Abigail. I wrote Abigail a letter some time ago, but I never posted it. Mostly, because it's personal, but this is meant to be a special Journal of Abbie's life, written for Abbie, about Abbie. Dear Daughter of Mine:. I wish. I am, and always have been, constantly wondering about life, and if you are anything like me, I know that you will too. You will wonder about love. And all I can really tell you is: hold on tight to those who truly love you. And more, I want you to...

{itty bitty abbie}: Lights dimming on Sesame Street (classic Abbie)

http://ittybittyabbie.blogspot.com/2009/05/lights-dimming-on-sesame-street.html

Friday, May 22, 2009. Lights dimming on Sesame Street (classic Abbie). Two days ago I walked into my daughter's bedroom to find a rather unusual, if not slightly disturbing, sight: all of her Sesame Street pals (the ever-ubiquitous Elmo, Zoe, Grover, Big Bird, Snuffy and Cookie Monster) were laying face-down/fanny-up on two of her bookcase shelves, as depicted below:. He said, "Oh, yeah, *that*. LOLOLOL - So cute! May 23, 2009 at 10:07 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). History in the making. We are...

{itty bitty abbie}: Happy 6th Birthday... almost.

http://ittybittyabbie.blogspot.com/2013/05/happy-6th-birthday-almost.html

Sunday, May 12, 2013. Happy 6th Birthday. almost. As I celebrated my beloved Abigail's 6th birthday today - yes, three plus months in advance, thank you very much! But I do know that Hannah was just a bundle of incoherent motions and no realization whatsoever. I still can't believe we gifted that precious tiny creature to Abbie, her sister. I hope she will always know what a miracle it has been, and how much love it signifies. I wrote a l etter. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). History in the making.

{itty bitty abbie}: "Hannah Banana"

http://ittybittyabbie.blogspot.com/2013/05/hannah-banana.html

Friday, May 3, 2013. Our beautiful, beloved Hannah Grace joined us on July 18, 2012. It occurs to me that this blog should be titled "Itty Bitty Sisters," now, but I really don't want to change it. This is, and always will be, a site about Abbie. It started out as my attempt at keeping up with my daughter's experiences growing up, and my own foray into motherhood. I have quite a bit of sense of humor: for the first few days of life, I kept it on the down low, you know? Every time I rooted in hunger, she ...

{itty bitty abbie}: Uh… Hello?

http://ittybittyabbie.blogspot.com/2009/07/uh-hello.html

Monday, July 6, 2009. During the last few weeks, Carol and I have been teaching Abbie our first names. She asks her, “Abbie? What’s daddy’s name? 8221; and Abbie replies, “CHREES-o-fur! 8221; When I ask her mommy's name, she whispers, “CAH-rol”  She whispers it because when I first started to teach her, I would whisper it into her ear as a hint. However, she thought that’s how you had to say it… in a whisper. I should have known, since she does that with other hints I whisper to her. I cracked my eyes op...

{itty bitty abbie}: Abbie's Vocabulary at 19 Months

http://ittybittyabbie.blogspot.com/2009/04/abbies-vocabulary-at-19-months.html

Friday, April 3, 2009. Abbie's Vocabulary at 19 Months. There are quite a few words that Abbie understands and appropriately uses, and for the sake of not forgetting what she would talk about all day long at this age, I decided to make a list, along with her personal pronunciation (which is the most important of all! Picture (for a regular picture/frame or when she wants me to draw something for her). Animals and Animal Sounds:. Chi-chi (kitty- though occasionally she will say "Kitty") : meow. A first ti...

{itty bitty abbie}: Evolution of a Beautiful Mind

http://ittybittyabbie.blogspot.com/2009/02/evolution-of-beautiful-mind.html

Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Evolution of a Beautiful Mind. Abbie's creativity and understanding of basic things is quick and at times more complex than I would expect. Those who have never watched a kid grow will not be able to understand what I mean. But those who watch their babies develop and evolve, day after day, one amazing step after the next, know why I marvel at the dazzling complexities of human imagination and understanding. And she said "A! She did it several times, "Me! The funny part of it ...
