Little Miss Talkative

"Oh, Mommy, if you only knew..."

Dada

Abby had been saying "Mama" for awhile. She would say it in between tearful outbreaks, when she was hungry or when she was hurt. However, once she learned to say, "Dada" she decided to use her word in an entirely different context: out of joy and adoration. Yes, Abby will crawl around the house singing her daddy's name in a sweet high pitch voice so tenderly and lovingly it almost makes you sick. I rarely get to hear the word mama anymore, and when I do it is usually because she is in distress... I guess Adam and I are really playing out our roles as parents. I am there to meet Abby's needs, and he is there to provide all the fun.

In all seriousness though, I am so grateful that Abby has a daddy that she loves and adores. I feel that it will make it all the easier for her to understand the love of her Heavenly Father one day.

Abby meets Barbie!

"Maybe one day I will have long legs like her."

Abby's first time coloring!

Someone was a little nervous and overwhelmed to meet such an icon.

I think I was more excited about the Barbie exhibit. I LOVED playing with Barbies as a girl!!!

"Aren't there laws against making babies work?"

"Have it on my desk no later than four."

First Tooth!

After six months of "teething" we were starting to wonder when she would get one.

This morning her upper right tooth broke through, too.

Papa's Birthday

To celebrate my dad's birthday we had a mini surprise party catered by Aubelos. Delicious!

She LOVES her Papa!

We met Papa at Red Robin for a birthday lunch.
