My Sweet Abigail!

It is crazy how time flies! My sweet Abigail turned two last month. Every time one of my kids has a birthday I always reflect on what has happened since they were born; how our lives have changed and where we are going in the future. Abbie, more then any of my other children, has taught me that Heavenly Father sends each of our children at the perfect time in our lives to teach us the things that need to be taught to us at that specific time. Abbie was actually our most easy baby. So easy, in fact, that unfortunately she was also more easily neglected. From the day she was born I had to wake her to feed her, make myself hold her because she easily sat where ever I put her and she just smiled and was content with life. Sometimes I wondered if there was something wrong with her because she was TOO easy. But looking back at the things that happened during her first two years of life, I know Heavenly Father knew we needed her and her wonderful little personality at just this precise time in our lives. She has come out of her shell since turning two. She readily says "No" (except if you ask if she wants candy), she is also my little tattle-tale, and she loves to hang out with adults more then kids. She is stubborn and can actually throw worse tantrums then her older siblings...when she does. She is stingy with her kisses but loves giving hugs! She is very sad if her Dad or brother leave for the day without her giving them hugs goodbye. SHE LOVES BABIES! She will walk around with one in each arm, cradling them, hugging them, patting and rubbing their backs, putting them to sleep, feeding them. She has done this from the time she could carry a baby and still shows no signs of stopping. She will be a great mommy!

We were so busy in March that we decided to celebrate her birthday this month during Easter break since we would be with family already. Here are the pictures of her birthday. I also attempted another crazy cake. (I can't bring myself to make just a rectangular one.) I was a little nervous since just last week I threw an entire cake away because something went terribly wrong! This one actually turned out... whew!

G & G C. got Abbie a "Abby Cadabby" doll that sings and looks like it is floating in the air. As you can see she LOVED IT!
