Okay! 22 months

Abigail is definitely growing up...I see Elizabeth just a few short months ago as I look at A.  I still don't think they look that much alike (although more so now) but Abigail is wearing all Biz's clothes and responding much like Elizabeth did a few months ago (still not as verbal, but getting there). 

 (I have a very similar picture of E in the same dress.  fairy dress...)

 Her favorite phrase is "O-Tay!" said with such a cheerful smile as you try to decide whether or not she really understood.  She is so compliant outwardly, but has been disciplined more than a time for taking her diaper off at naptime and taking her shoes off everywhere! 

She is still my good little eater most of the time.  Ironically though, she will refuse even her favorite food almost every single time and when I pull it away, she immediately decides she wants to eat it after all.   And if she is hurrying to finish the non-favorite for the current favorite- fruit snacks, table manners fly out the window.

Her hair is finally growing long enough to put pigtails in...just barely.  This hairstyle disguises the lack of hair in the front despite the lengthening locks in back.

 She is communicating much more but still rather incoherent to anyone but me.  Oh, and she is finally getting more teeth!  Still don't know whether she will have any uppers to pair alongside the front two, but she has gotten the matching tooth on the bottom and is cutting 4 more in the back in front of her molars.  What a trooper! (5 at one blow...)

I constantly thank the Lord for this cheerful girl who is ready with a smile and laughter!
