Spotlight on Abby

I have been adding pictures to this post for 3 months now... and I think I better just publish it so I won't add anymore.  But I'm home with Abby J. all day and so we spend a lot of time together.  (except for that beloved 2 hour nap!)  but its fun to scroll though these photos and see her hair get longer,  Her face looks more grown up... she tells me now she is a big girl and not a baby.  Abby will be our little miracle baby forever.  We are so grateful for her in our family.  She is so lucky to have Tyler and Ella who adore her.  And trust me... she adores them right back!  

Abby found her nose.... She sits at the big table now.  No more high chair. 

She likes to comb her hair, even if it is already done and she is just messing it up... and she tends to get brushes and combs stuck in it.  

I adore crazy bread from Little Ceasers.  And so I HAD to teach Abby (and my other children) this love also.  Yum!  She signs... more more more!

Abby likes to crawl under my sink and tear apart everything that is under there.  Her hiding place . She also knows what treats are now.  This sucker was as big as her mouth and she just drooled all over her shirt until she was a complete sticky mess.  

She likes to copy what others do.  Daddy mops, so Abby J mops.  Tyler and Ella sit and read, so Abby J does too.  (Those are precious moments!)  We go hiking with a camelback on and so when we get home she wants one too.  If Ella wears a hat or a helmet... Abby has to also.

Abby loves her Daddy.  She loves mommy to put her to bed, but she loves her Daddy. She runs to him every day when he comes home.  And likes to talk to him on the phone.  

She is adorable.  Her hair grows so fast.  Tyler and Ella had no hair for a long time.  

Abby is all girl.  She started with my little ponies and has since moved on to baby dolls.  She carries them around, loves them, smothers them in blankets and pushes them in strollers.  She loves to feed them and take care of them.  I look at photos of my nephew marshall who loves cars... and I see... Girls and boys are different.  different and unique.  

We wish she would never grown up.  But she is.  She has her personality.  She is starting to get sassy. If we turn on the blender to make a shake she yells no mom.  no.  (its too loud for her) She has her mind now and she lets you know.  We LOVE her! (more than she loves her monkey, blanket, and binkie!)
