She's not a little baby anymore...

I guess we have to officially call Abigael a toddler now. I just can't believe how well she is walking. She just continues to amaze me more and more everyday. Yesterday afternoon, the three of us went out to walk the dog. She walked an entire block all by herself! Of course, it took at least 20 minutes, but who's counting! I was so proud of her. She'd walk about 10 feet (huge grin on her face), stop to check something out (the grass, the pavement, a stick, rocks,...), then we'd call her to follow us and she'd start walking again till she found something else to look at. It was sooo cute! She's getting so much more sophisticated in her play too. Yesterday, she pulled all the throw pillows off the couch, put them in a pile, and then threw herself down on them. How funny. And she's pointing like crazy now. She's always pointed and pressed buttons with her thumbs, but in the last week or so she's been using her index fingers more and more. She's even starting to do it to communicate what she wants to show us or look at. Now if we'd only get some teeth.....
