Just Abel

(funny face)

(saying "cheese" long and loud)

(coloring...a new favorite activity)

Here is an excerpt from Abel's journal update today:

Since turning 18 months, Abel sense of independence has been growing. He attends nursery without any fuss each week…he actually runs from the chapel to the nursery door with or without parents! He can play well by himself for quite a bit of time at home. He is easy to put down for naps and bedtime, most of the time without songs or much cuddling…just a binky and puppy and blanket and now Baby Tad singing him lullabies.

Abel is talking non stop all of the time. “No way!” and “Come on!” are some of the newest phrases. He can say most any word we ask him to, as long as he wants to. He knows most words to songs like Itsy Bitsy Spider, Popcorn Popping, BINGO and Old McDonald but usually only fills in the blank if we stop singing mid sentence. Abel is getting more interested in music and singing time lately also. He especially likes to bang on the drum.

Abel’s Favorites:

Food: Waffles

Book: From Head to Toe
Activity: Baby Songs movie, Bob the Builder toys, anything Afton is playing with
