Amazing...

What an amazing few days! I still can't believe how that last year has flown by. I find myself thinking..."last year at this time....we didn't have our sweet Abigail".


This year we do! On her birthday Jerry picked her up out of her crib and brought her to me. What an awesome way to wake up! She was smiling which of course made me smile too. We sang Happy Birthday and had a special moment with her before we had breakfast. I made her a giant pancake and she loved it. Then we opened her presents. Jerry's mom came to visit and so we opened her presents too. Abigail was having so much fun tearing the paper that she hardly noticed the little kitchen set that her Grandma gave her. But she soon figured it out and now she loves it too.

After a fun, relaxing day at home we headed to the rodeo. She really enjoyed petting the animals and clapping for the cowboys. She did take a quick nap during the rodeo but woke up just in time for the bullriding. :)

Although I think she had fun she may have partied too hard...The night ended with her being overly exhausted. She didn't get to sleep until 10pm or so. In fact, she was quite cranky and had a low grade temperature. Poor baby girl! (She is also cutting 3 teeth at the same time.)

The day after her birthday we just hung out at home and recuperated. We wanted her to be rested and ready for her big birthday party on Saturday. She was feeling a little better but not quite the same. Those darn teeth hurt I bet!

Party day!
Dressed in her tutu and princess crown she made quite an entrance. Almost 30 of her friends from Waco and 3 grandparents came for this awesome celebration. Jerry and I were so proud of our beautiful little girl. We had prayed for this for so long and God answered our prayers. I still have to pinch myself sometimes.....this is MY little girl! wow!
A few things we did:
swung on the swings for the first time....(hilarious in her tutu by the way)
dove into her cake with both hands
opened her presents
played with her friends
All in all a wonderful day! We are so blessed. Thank you all so much for sharing this day with us. We miss you guys that weren't able to come and hope to see you real soon.
Stay tuned for more pictures to follow....

love,
