Anabel is a major dancer. When music comes on or if you sing or hum, Anabel bounces and sways back and forth. It's soooo cute!

She also has started doing this hand movement that I do when I ask her to 'come here'. I fold my fingers back towards me you know, again and again, signaling her to come to me. She now has started doing it. But when she does it, it doesn't always mean 'come here' but it's still uber cute. Usually when she does it she stares and her hand as she is doing it, like 'whoa I'm doing it' LOL.

Anabel has also noticed that when she is eating and she coughs we all turn and check on her and I always say 'are you ok?'. So now she is starting to fake it and then she smiles real big…. Might become annoying later, but right now it's cute, LOL.

Yes Anabel figured out how to climb the stairs and about gave me a heart attack. I figured since she hadn't paid any attention to climbing the stairs that it was ok to leave off the baby gate. I closed everything else off in the living room and let her play while I watched TV. I heard her happily squeal and turned to check on her. She was on the fifth step of the stairs smiling huge. I had this image of her falling backwards and I about had a heart attack. I made she to not make much noise because I was afraid she would fall. I quickly went and got her and had to just stand there for a second because I was shaken.
