Abby's idiosyncrasies

I wanted to jot down a few of the cute things Abby is doing these days, otherwise I may forget them forever!

1) When we go to a public place (i.e., Target), she often says "hi" to people when they walk by. You probably have to be there, but it is funny, and often gives the "passer by" a surprised/startled chuckle.

2) She will sometimes spontaneously come over and give out a hug, while saying "hug". It is SO sweet.

3) We have gotten Abby to start saying, "all done" when she is finished eating, instead of hurling herself out of the highchair. Abby has transferred this skill to other situations, such as when she wants to get out of the grocery cart or swing. When she says it in relation to the cart, I am not nearly as pleased....

4) One of Abby's favorite words is "cozy". This morning, she grabbed her blanket and began walking around saying "cozy". She often says this when she wants to snuggle up on the couch with her blanket, to watch Baby Einstien, with mommy or daddy.

5) This morning, she looked at a book that Aunt Tracy gave her for her baptism and said, "pray". I got a good laugh out of this, as it is a book of prayers. She then proceeded to say "God", which shocked me & made me laugh some more!!

Can this age be any sweeter?

Butterfly World

We went to Butterfly World on my birthday, to do something different. The gardens were beautiful. Abby enjoyed seeing all the flowers and butterflies. I don't think she was as sure about the birds, up close and personal. It is genetic; her mother isn't the biggest fan of birds, and neither is her great-grandmother!!!

My 35th Birthday Dinner

Tye pulled off a surprise birthday dinner with Jennifer, Carlos, Donnie & Leslie. We went to the Melting Pot and had a four course feast, fondue style. Here are a few pictures of the girls from my birthday party.

Abby the Bee!

Here are some pictures of our little bumblebee! We never did get to trick or treat. At first, Abby was intrigued by the costumes. However, one child with a scary mask later, and it was all over. Abby got scared every time the doorbell rang and/or Sydney barked, and wanted little to do with Halloween. Better luck next year!






Sydney was a bit more cooperative about wearing the head-piece than Abby....
