Abby and Steve helped me finish moving furniture and putting away baby clothes and things today, so we should be all ready to bring Baby Sister home when she arrives. We even set out the baby diapers and wipes. Abby enjoys helping, kind of... she really enjoys trying to test out Baby Sister's things. She tried to put on some size 3 to 6 month pants the other day. I'm sure you can imagine how well that worked. And based on the sinus pressure and congestion I'm getting (again) I'm hoping Abby will be helping with Baby Sister sooner rather than later so that I can take some real medication and get over this bug faster.
Abby has really gotten into playing with her little people and doll house in the last week. She sets them all up, makes them dance, eat, and do other things that little people like doing. It's fun to watch her imagination working. The only downside is that she often wants Steve or I to "play too" but she doesn't want us to do any more than sit on the floor next to her. For Steve that is one thing, but for me sitting on the floor right now causes my legs to fall asleep within about 2 minutes. And then there is always the challenge of getting back up off the floor. But Abby is too cute to not play with her, so we do it anyway.

Cookie
Abby learned the most important word in a child's vocabulary today - cookie. Now she is set for life. Whatever troubles befall her, she will be able to ask for the world's greatest comfort food. She also learned how to say horse and Bible today. She is a little walking talking machine.
Another amazing development has been her recent transition to imagination based playing. For example, she's been feeding herself fake food and pretending to eat it. Today we also caught her pretending to change her dolls diaper, complete with pretending to wipe its bottom. It is amazing watching her little mind develop more and more each day. And as we watch we wonder whether we will be able to keep up with such a smart little cookie.
We had another full night of sleep, so it appears that we are finally over our illness - and just in time, since I am still feeling exhausted on a daily basis. We will see how the week plays out and will hope that she is still feeling great next week when Abby and I plan to head out to the Blind Sucker River Flooding near Grand Marais, Michigan to camp with my family and some of my mom's family. We are really looking forward to seeing aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents.
