Happy 1st Birthday Abigail!

This tiny newborn,

is now this little girl!  
Our sweet Abigail Elizabeth came to our family one year ago today and we can’t imagine life without her!

1-year stats:
Weight: 17 lbs. 15 oz. (7th percentile)
Height: 28 in. (25th percentile)

I’m not surprised that she’s only gained 1 pound in 3 months.  She is one active baby!  She’s practically running now, even though her legs can’t keep up with her upper body! :)

Looks like she’ll be rear-facing in her car seat for a while still.  Adam was 20 lbs. 7 oz. at 1 year so I immediately switched him to front facing.  It doesn’t seem to bother Abby much to face backwards since she has her brother to see and play with so I’m not in too big a hurry (especially considering that it will require buying a new car sear for either her or Adam)

We love how her little personality is starting to come through.  She is so deliberate about how she plays with toys and likes to study things.

She LOVES books and is constantly saying, “buh” and bringing one to me to read to her.

She loves all things stuffed and soft.  She squeals whenever she sees a doll or stuffed animal (or picture of a baby for that matter)
She loves to eat!!
(She is signing ‘all done’)

Most importantly, she LOVES her big brother!
Here they are playing in a tent at Nana’s.

It’s so fun, but sad, to watch her grow into a toddler.  This year has gone by way too fast!

And just because it’s fun…..here’s me!
I should dig out pictures of me at 1 year and see if we still look alike.

We love you Abby-Girl!!
