Fiddle-i-fee

Abbey loves for me to point out the goose, cow, etc. on these jammies and sing "Cat Goes Fiddle-i-fee" with all the little animal noises. She asked for a bottle for baby this week so we went out to the garage and got one of her old ones. Before long she wanted to put water in it...for baby. Next thing I knew she was laughing and drinking from the bottle again. She thinks its really fun for me to pick her up and cradle her and sing "Rock a Bye Baby". So fiercely independent, and yet still Mama's baby. Favorite word right now is "outside" and newest favorite pastime is swishing and spitting water after brushing her teeth. The other day while changing her diaper I realized we had totally forgoten about the potty over the past couple of months and I said something about it so she jumped up and ran into the bathroom got on the chair and went potty. She's ready, I'm not. Diapers are my last little symbol of babyhood and I am hanging on to them for now. Giving up the crib and the bottles were hard enough on me, and I am thrilled that she is revisiting her baby things just for fun.
