Pictures in the camera

These last few weeks have been crazy with putting our condo on the market and packing. Still Sabrina finds ways to entertain us. In the 100 degree weather she found a stocking cap and pulled in onto her head and walked around..even into walls. She also enjoys putting blankets on her head for her Casper routine. We have photos but don't have a way to upload them to the blog at the moment. Randy has the laptop which is our usual computer for blogging and so I have to learn the tricks on the HP.
Meanwhile, we pack to the Wiggles, Raffie and Baby Beethoven. Sabrina entertains with her little dances and giggles. What a crazy but fun time.

Polly the Parrot

Yesterday, I was complementing Randy on how nice the bathroom looked and said, "Looks good". To my surprise, Sabrina parroted "looks good" right after me. Time to really make sure I don't say something I don't want repeated....

Potty humor

Amongst the new fascinations in life, is Sabrina's new found interest in the toilet. She likes to jiggle the handle, watch the water go down and of late use it as a water source to wash her stuff animals. This morning while her dad was "watching" her she managed to get her washcloth out of the bathtub, dip it toilet water and then go back to her bedroom to "wash" her stuffed dog. That is when I entered the room and pieced things together. The bathroom door was shut for about an hour when I reopened it with Sabrina hot on my heals with her frog puppet. And you guessed it, she was heading straight to the toilet to give him a bath. After all frogs do like water! Ugg!

On other news: Sabrina now gives high fives, claps and waves her arms at the sliding glass door when she sees a squirrel on the bird feeder, and puts shirts or blankets over her head for her walking ghost imitation. Her favorite new gesture is to point with her version of "What's this?" This is found to be a great question right at bed time. She has already learned how to play the Stall Game!

Activities this week...

What an active week it has been. Sabrina started walking...then almost running...then climbing! One morning I turned my back for a second and in that time she had climbed to the middle of the coffee table and was standing! So, we have been working on keeping her feet on the floor. Even the care givers at the gym commented on how she climbs on chairs and tables if they don't watch her closely!

In the mornings, her new thing is to point at things and say "what's this" or something close to that. She wants to know what everything is called. Her favorites are paintings and photos on the wall. These have cats, fish and dogs in them that she loves to see. She also enjoys pointing out the window at the bird feeder where the birds and squirrels are very active. The live animals bring much amusement!
