The Heat Goes On, Milestones, Tooth #20

This triple digit weather had better come to an end soon because I am running out of fun things for me and Abby to do that do not require layers of sunblock, sweating and me turning any browner than I already am.  I wouldn't even be able to recall what we've been up to if it weren't for the pictures on the camera. 

But first, a few milestones for my benefit:

1.  Abby's bedtime entourage: Bunny, Froggy, Cheep Cheep and Dumbo.
2.  Latest most used phrases: "Why not?", "Can I?", "I don't want to pee pee in the potty" (more on that later), "I do by myself!"  I'm sure there's more but that's all I can recall now.
3.  As I mentioned above, we have regressed in the Potty Department.  She only poops in the potty and occasionally pees in it now.  I've been told this happens so we're just going to ride this out like everything else.
4.  She officially gets out of bed and walks around until she finds us now. 
5.  Instead of reading books to Abby at bedtime (because I swear I read ALL. DAY. LONG. to her), we sing duets together and it fills my heart with happiness and I go to bed a very happy mommy.  I love when she says to me "Mommy, I love to sing with you." 
6.  My little cuddle bug is still a cuddle bug.  I hope that lasts forever.
7.  And lastly, her last molar came out probably 2 weeks ago but I lost track.  It's her top left molar, I think.  :P

Me reading Sleeping Beauty to Abby for the 100+th time.  Luckily, it never gets old for me.

This is Abby's favorite past time.  She has played with her hair while drinking milk since she could hold her own bottle.  Now that her hair is longer, the hair twirling has really stepped up a notch.  We love it.

Very happy Lao Nian and Lao Yie with Abby.

People think Abby looks like me but in reality, Abby looks more like my mom.  Can you tell?

This is Abby's "I'm scared, Mommy" face because you can see the little boy coming up behind her. 

Pet Peeve #3452 of Mine: When other parents don't pay attention to their children in a public setting and let them get away with anything - including being rude to other kids.  Nothing irritates me more and because I am who I am, I will let the other parent know.  Hmph.

Abby was playing with this steering wheel and this little boy comes barreling up and pushes Abby out of the way while MOM just stands there and watches!  Abby says to me "Mommy, I was playing with the wheel" so I say "I know, Abby.  But this little boy was being rude and shoved you out of the way so you'll have to wait until his Mommy says something."  It took a few more seconds before MOM got my drift and asked her boy to let Abby finish playing.  I swear.  Some moms are just stupid. 

End of rant.
