First on the playground, and ready to play

Daddy thinks Abi wants her own chair

Some rushed comments

1. Abi walked to the playground today.  She was good and let Mommy hold her hand during the entire walk.
2. She can now feed herself yogurt & cereal with a spoon.  Mommy is very happy that none of the food wound up in Abi’s hair.
3. Abi has more teeth.  Apparently, kids only get 20 baby teeth, ten on the bottom and ten on top (yay!).   Abi now has six on the bottom and six on top.  On the bottom, she has four incisor and two molars.  She’s skipped the canine (cuspid) teeth.  So, just two more molars and two canines to go on each of her top & bottom.  Toothy girl!
4. Abi is getting social.  She followed a boy around the playground yesterday, did what he did.  Even though he was older (19 months), he did not pay attention to her.  He just noted that they were each wearing a hat.  Eventually, Abi gave up trying to make friends with him, and went to play elsewhere.
5. Abi can now climb up slides, even windy ones that are taller than Mommy.  She is also very comfortable getting onto and going down slides all by herself.
6. Abi waded in Spy Pond yesterday.  She had a good time.

The little future Ph.D. just said her first word.

It is “book”!
