Vanessa. They hugged each other until they lost their balance and
both fell over. It was pretty cute. Abby also wanted to hug a
cricket she saw in the garage today. Dad and I tried to tell her
that crickets are insects and not fun to hug but she kept saying,
"hug! hug cricket!" It's a big hug-fest over here.
At dinner Abby shocked Papa and I by counting from one to eight and  
then adding "Ah-ah-ah" like The Count on Sesame Street.  I guess Elmo  
is educational!  She is still practicing her ABC's, sometimes calls  
them her Abby C's.  The best version is "Abby C D--fg... hhkk Elmo  
P"  I guess that makes sense if you are 1.5 years old.
