Happy Birthday Little Abby

You've been super sick the last few days and were finally feeling well enough today to go outside for a bit. I couldn't get you to look at me or smile for me, but hey, it's your birthday and you can certainly do what you want!
You are such a doll Abigail. You are loved beyond measure. You are pure sunshine at times and not so much at other times.

(Here you are screaming at me)

No matter what though, I love you. Most of the time you are my little shadow. All is right in your world if I am no more than about 10 feet away from you. I love that about you actually. In the last 5 or 6 months, your vocabulary has exploded! You can say just about anything you want to. And you do. It's hilarious to see you work your way to get what you want by your words and your charm. 

You are a typical 2 year old now, who loves balls, balloons, making messes, and yes, throwing tantrums. You are also my most cuddly child yet. Helps that you've been sick, but you will let me hold you for hours at a time and just love on you. 

Some not so typical things about you are: you love shoes and have probably 20 pairs. You will often change out your shoes multiple times a day.  You pretend you are a puppy and go around on all fours barking and stick your tongue out. You love your blankie more than life itself. You suck on your pointer finger on your right hand. And your hair is blonde. Where did that come from? 

Happy Birthday baby girl! Now, don't grow up too fast! 

                   Love,
