See Saw, Applesauce

Every time I see my little baby, I see the little girl that she is fast becoming. I don't see the months going by quickly but seeing the changes in her makes me realize how fast life is really going. I don't feel like she is almost 20 months old. Do you feel almost 2 years older? Wasn't it just a few days ago that she looked like this:

She has since grown way out of that hat and can't quite sit on my lap the same. I am now getting a little girl running up to me saying "up, up, tv, tv" to sit on my lap and watch cartoons. (Yeah, that became the new thing when I got back from Singapore. Thanks, Josh) But it sure is the most wonderful feeling in the world to have those two little arms wrapped around my neck.

Okay, before I get too sappy, you are probably wondering what this has to do with the title "See Saw, Applesauce". We went to Ikea this weekend which forces me to spend money. They must put something in the air or subliminally in the advertising "Becca, buy me, buy me". Actually we had been planning and saving to finish our bedroom to change the motif from college student to responsible adults with a kid and a mortgage. While the responsible adult part can be debated, the room is definitely looking like a real bedroom. Don't worry my faithful blog readers. I will put a picture up in the near future. So back to the story. At Ikea they have a section with all of the fun kids toys out so kids can play with them and attempt to persuade their parents to buy items. So Abby decided she wanted to play and hopped onto a rocking moose. As she rocked back and forth, she started singing "See Saw, Applesauce". It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen. She made up a song! "See Saw, Applesauce". Josh and I were just in awe of this little girl who just made up a great song on the spot. She proceeded to sing the song on the way home and throughout the weekend. "See Saw, Applesauce"
