More Words

Apart from the words Abi has been using for quite a while now such as: "mama", "tata & daddy", "pa-pa" & bye-bye", "no", "nie" (it's no in Polish), "yeah", "tak" (it's yes in Polish), "apple", "more", "bubble", "book", "go", "baba & dziadzia" (grama & grandpa in Polish), a couple of names like Abi- she calls herself "Abu". She can say "Ania" (my sister's, mom-in-law's and my grandma's name); "Ada" (it's actually Eden - her 2-year old neighbor's name); "Car-car" (Carter - her 4-year old neighbor) and her all-time favorite "Elmo" and also "Erni" from Sesame Street. She makes most of animal sounds.
And now Abi added 2 new words 2 days ago. Both for the same thing in both languages.
This time we caught it on camera!

Now she says "shoe" and "but" (read:boot) (shoe in Polish)


Shoe

But (boot)




More awesomeness to come ;-)

We wish everybody Merry Christmas!!

Change My Diaper

This is great! This morning Abi got off our chair went to the place where we keep her wipes, diapers and cream, brought one by one to the living room rug looked at me and laid down to change her Diaper!!!

It wasn't too wet or dirty at all and it was the first time she's ever done it, but who knows maybe it's a first step to getting out of diapers

First snow experience!

Is This Normal For This Age?! :-)

I am seriously asking this question, is this normal for this age?! Abi's not even 18 months yet (she's not even 17 months yet) and last week, when we were hanging out at our friends house, Abi was playing with their children, in their room, not needing us at all - that's a great progress! Then she started messing with the door -closing and opening it over and over again. We did not want her to do that and possibly get her fingers hurt so I went over there to tell her to stop doing it. No, it did not happen, so I held the door and kept telling her she was not supposed to do that anymore, explaining why.

Now, here's the fun part (and my question): she was listening to me talking, looking me in the eyes and when I was done, she made a step forward, towards me, still looking at me, pointed her finger at me, then moved it to the side, pointing at the hallway and said: GO.

Is this a joke?! I don't think she's supposed to be this logical yet: daddy goes = he stops bothering Abi.

She did it again, yesterday when we were hanging out with another couple and their children. After being told she was not supposed to touch their DVDs she looked at me, pointed her finger at me and said: bye bye.

It is super cute and she's absolutely fantastic, and I guess we are just starting another chapter full of new exciting challenges.
