20 Months

Sabine is 20 months old today. That is amazing to me. On one hand, I feel like she can barely be more than a baby, and on the other I feel like she may as well be a teenager with all of her wild antics, opinions, and vocabulary. (Not that she has a bad vocabulary; it's just getting very expansive!) Just the other day I climbed onto the counter to put a dish away, and I heard this little voice admonishing me, "Careful, mommy."

Yikes.

Sabine's actually turning into quite the little mommy, herself. She has a doll, Baby, who has always been a favorite, but recently has become THE Favorite. Baby goes everywhere with Sabine: to eat, to sleep, to the potty (I really want to post that picture, it exists...but have decided against it, at least until we make this blog a little more private!), as well as in the car.

Here's just a few pictures we've taken in the last week. You'll note there's been a huge upturn in Baby's presence.

We also recently opened a play doctor's kit from Aunt Dani, and it has gotten a lot of attention as well. Baby has benefitted (suffered?) the most at the hands of Dr. Sabine.

Showing Baby the ladybug mobile. "Baby see bug?" was how Sabine phrased it.

Then she had fun "bonking" Baby's head on the ladybugs, like Grandpa does with Sabine on the leaves on overhanging trees when they go on walks.

In summary, there's been much love this week.... Literally. Sabine has started to tell Baby she loves her. (She has yet to tell ME, but whatever.)

Oh yes. P.S. and by the way... Happy Father's Day to the most perfect and wonderful Sabine Daddy ever. We love you to the moon and back.
