Abby's New Tricks

I know I say this all the time, but Abby is growing up soooo fast! With Bryce and Caleb I was always ready for them to grow up a little more, do something different and meet a new milestone. Abby on the other hand seems to grow up way to fast and I can't keep up. She has a couple of new tricks lately. She can say some of her animal sounds and it is the cutest thing ever. (I know I am her mom and I think everything is cute but this really is adorable.) She knows cow (Moooo or Boooo) depending on the day, Pig (she sounds like she is blowing her nose), Sheep (Ba Ba) she is the best at this one since she walks around saying Ba Ba all the time anyway. My favorite is rooster, this one she taught her self after seeing it one the boy's cartoon. She says (Arrrr er Arrrr er Arrrrrr). Any other animal that you ask her about growls a ferocious, throaty growl that doesn't sound like it should come from a little girl. She also points to our dog Penny and says pup pup. She suddenly has quite the fascination with Penny, that Penny really could live without. Penny is 8 and isn't in the mood to have a little girl pull at her dog tag all day long because she thinks it is pretty.
Abby's other new trick is climbing. She has turned into a monkey overnight. She likes to crawl up on the kitchen chair and from there crawl up on the table and sit in the middle of it. She also likes to crawl up on the picnic table outside and would crawl up the big jungle gym if the boys would give her time to. Oh, they grow up so fast!
