"Durdle Puhrse"

You know what Mommy discovered today? That taking pictures inside at 7am presents some lighting issues! But she wanted to get these pictures up as soon as she could because I am SO CUTE in my new turtle outfit!!!

This outfit is a birthday present from my Nana and Dzia Dzia - boy does Nana know how to pick out cute girl stuff or what!!! She even got me socks, bows for my hair AND a purse shaped like a turtle!!! I insisted that mommy get me dressed straight away in my "durdle shurt" and then I carried my "durdle puhrse" all over the house. I went into Mommy and Daddy's room to show Daddy as he got ready for "wourk."

The clothes fit perfectly!

You know what "puhrses" are good for? Swinging around you of course!

Mommy thinks this is a silly picture. She said "smile at Mommy" and I opened my eyes REALLY big. hee hee - I is silly!

Daddy says "Abby? Who's a stinker?" and I says "Abby is!"

Update: Abby has been carrying her purse around ALL DAY! She put it on her arm earlier and said "Bye, bye Mommy!" and walked to the door. :)

Birthday Fun!

My birthday isn't until Wednesday but we decided to have my birthday party today! I had lots of people I like come: Grandma (with her broken foot), Papa, my Godpapa Uncle Ray, my Godmama Aunt Kelly, cousins Rachel, Katie, Maria, and Sara, Jenney, my friend Jacob and his mommy Amanda, my friend Austin and his mommy Leslie. Thank you everyone for all my wonderful presents.

"Mom! Take a picture of me too!"

Sara liked all my new baby dolls.

Maria, Michael and Katie have birthday fun.

Lots of presents...we need a bigger house!

The picture on the left is from my 1 year birthday and the picture on the right is when I was born.

I started to cry when everyone started singing "Happy Birthday" to me and so mommy had to blow out my candle.

Cake is good!

Michael, Austin and I cleaned our plates!

10 minutes after everyone left my party I crawled into Mommy's lap and fell asleep.

Where did Mommy's babies go?!!?!?!?!?!

Michael - 3.5 years and Abby - 23 months

Fun In the Snow! - Jan. 11, 2007

It snowed again! This time it was a lot more than in November. Mommy bundled us up and we went outside to play. Like I said before it doesn't snow here very often and so mommy didn't have any gloves for us. That didn't stop me though. Abby didn't want to touch the snow though.

"Mom - this is a snow trumpet"

I told you I don't need a nap!

See...I know better than mommy...I don't need no stinkin' nap! I'm a big girl...I can do...uh...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Before

I really likes my new baby carriage - thanks Nana and DziaDzia!

"Beebees eat?"

My godpapa Uncle Pat got me the COOLEST book. Richard Scary's What Do People Do All Day. It is one of my favorites. See I didn't even want to take time to smile for Mommy.

I like all the books I got - especially the Mickey and Minnie Mouse books that Great-grandma Joan got us. I think one was for Michael and one was for me but I decided they were both mine and I take them EVERYWHERE with me...and I mean everywhere!

I am really enjoying my sea figurines set. It has lots of cool stuff in it - like this underwater boat.

After...the castle that Mommy and Daddy got me was the hit of the day...even Abby wanted to play with it.

Thank you to all of our loved ones for the wonderful gifts and cards. We feel so blessed to have you in our lives.

Preschool Christmas Concert - Dec. 14, 2006

On December 14 we had my school Christmas concert. It was a lot of fun until we started singing. Well you see...I was in the front row and there were a lot of people. I wasn't too keen with all the commotion. Once they had us switch and I was in the back row I felt much better and sang the songs and did all the hand motions. I still walk around singing "We WISH you a Merry Christmas..."Just me and Daddy! Daddy left the next morning for a long business trip to Singapore - he got home JUST in time for Christmas.

Hey Mom!

Don't look at me!

Too Loud!

Are we done yet?

Mommy was video taping the whole thing...she was laughing very hard and so the video is a little jerky! Despite my shyness I had a great time!

Fun With Markers. Dec. 12, 2006

As you can see I found Mommy's markers. hee hee!

Decorating Cookies...errrr...eating frosting... - Dec. 11, 2006

My friend Austin came over for a play date and we decorated cookies for Christmas! Well actually we mostly just ate frosting...it was yummy!

"Feed da Tiddy!" - Dec. 11, 2006

So I've decided that one of my jobs is to feed the tiddies (Meow and Luli). I also like to sit by the tiddy and keep him company while he eats. Mommy heard me rustling around over by the tiddy dishes and was going to tell me to leave the tiddies alone while they ate when she saw that Meow was eating OUT OF MY HAND!!! It is pretty cool. I like my tiddies...a few nights ago Mommy found Meow sleeping on my pillow with me during the night.

First Snow - Nov. 28, 2006

At the end of November we woke up to SNOW on the ground. It doesn't snow here very much and it was very fun. Abby kept running to the back window and saying "MOMMY! SNNNNNOOOW!"

Last Nap In My Crib - Nov. 26, 2006

On November 26, 2006 I took my last nap in my crib. Then Mommy and Daddy took the crib apart and unbunked the beds. Now I have my very own big girl bed!!! Mommy says she'll post pictures of our new beds when she finishes puting up the decorations.
