Oh the Places You'll Go

Abbey is becoming more and more mobile and loves getting into interesting places. It is so exciting to see all of the changes that are happening, but it is definitely keeping us on our toes. It's much harder to even just run into the other room to grab something now.

She noticed her pacifier in the laundry basket the other day, and she decided that she needed to have it. (We are working on just using it for naps and bedtime.) Resourceful child that she is, she decided she would get it herself. After climbing into the laundry, she forgot all about the pacifier (well, maybe I helped a little by taking it out of her sight) and ended up having fun playing in the clean laundry.

Who needs toys when you can play with Mommy's countless bags? Abbey is enthralled by my purses and work totes, and she is always managing to find things in them. Yesterday I swear she was trying to open a pen and then "write" on the floor...so cute! Another new favorite is our stairs. (She's sitting on the landing between our family room and the back of the house in this picture.) She is becoming quite speedy at getting up the full flight of stairs. We are trying to teach her to go down them on her tush, but she hasn't mastered that yet.
