Abby is 2!



Abby turned 2 years old this past Sunday, I can't believe it! She has changed so much this year, and is at such a fun (and crazy!) age. I took Abby for her check-up yesterday and she is 24 pounds (the same weight Luke was when he turned 1!) and 34 inches tall. Abby is a typical 2 year old girl, she loves princesses and dolls. She is also my little animal lover, with her favorite being "meow meows". Other favorite things of Abby's at this age are singing songs, reading books, going down slides and swinging. She is a picky eater, her favorites are strawberries, french fries and yogurt. Abby has really started talking, especially putting words together in the last couple weeks. She will repeat any word you say, and one thing that I love now is seeing Luke and Abby talk to each other. She adores her big brother and asks often about him when he is at preschool. While Abby is independent (i.e. strongwilled) and thinks she is a princess, she is also very sweet, giving lots of hugs and kisses. Even though we have our days that definitely fit the "terrible 2's", I love this age with Abby and am enjoying the special time I get alone with her while Luke is at school.



On Sunday, we had our families over to celebrate her birthday. Abby loved her birthday presents, who wouldn't love things like princess slipper boots?







Tasting the frosting before we sang Happy Birthday!





The weekend before Abby's real birthday, we had just a couple friends of hers from church come over for a party. They played with water toys in the backyard, and had pizza and cake. Her friends must know her well because they all gave her princess related gifts :-)















Time for cake!





Abby put on her Belle dress to open presents, because she thinks she is a princess :-)

The party looked so good! I hate that we had to miss it. Can't believe she's already 2!
