Seriously, Abby has gotten so busy lately. She is a body in motion during all of her waking hours. She has Go-Go- Gadget arms that can extend past where you could ever imagine, grabbing at anything in sight. Nothing on a table is safe. She wants to walk everywhere and is far too brave considering she hasn't mastered walking only holding on with one hand yet. But she is bound and determined! She has figured out how to move forward through a combination of crawling, slithering and rocking side to side, so now she is unstoppable. She twists, turns and shimmies if you are holding her, and if her feet touch something solid while you are, you better be sure she is going to start bouncing too! She is a fearless baby, a quality that I like, although it is sure making my life a lot busier!
No wonder she sleeps 12 hours a night!
Speaking of which, gone are the days where I could bring her into bed with me and she would sleep for another half hour to an hour. Nope. Not anymore. Once she wakes up, she is up and ready to go!
I was thinking that she was going to be sleeping with me this weekend after I walked into her room yesterday and saw her sitting up in her crib. Well, that's new I thought as I walked in to interrupt her pulling down her mobile. Upon seeing me, her eyes lit up and she grabbed the side of the crib.
And then she stood up.
Oh no. You've got to be kidding, right? Tyler has been gone for all of 3 hours and she picked today to endanger her life on her unlowered crib. Crap.
A quick phone call to Grandpa Stan and he was over, tools in hand, playfully questioning Abby about her recent activities. He lowered the crib down to the second lowest level for me and I figured I could sleep easy. I put Abby in to test it out, and the little turkey stood right up again.

| Oh please, this is too easy now! |
Oh well, hopefully she can't flip herself out.
On an unrelated note, at Alisha's suggestion I made overnight oats last night. They are so good and I will definitely be doing this for breakfast more often!
Chocolate Almond Overnight Oats
2/3 cup soy milk
1/3 cup large flake oats
1 tsp cocoa
1 handful of raw almonds, chopped
Warm the soy milk enough to dissolve cocoa and combine with oats and almonds. Stir and refrigerate over night.
Easy, no? These are suppose to be eaten cold apparently, and although I had a little trepidation about that, I really liked it. I am glad I put almonds in mine because the crunch really added a nice balance to the texture. Raisin bread...you might be on your way out! (Who I am kidding...I'll never leave you. I'll just cheat on you instead).
Here is what mine looked like.
