Daddy and Abbey

Hello everybody! This is officially my first blog! Notice the time it was posted... expect late posts often!! I have been so excited to get started on my blog since Monday and can't seem to find the time with my crazy days. Wednesday night, only two days since Monday, isn't that bad right?

I love to see Tim and Abbey together as Father and Daughter. It is so cute! Today was a great example of a Daddy - Daughter day. Since I was gone at the temple with my sister Carrie, Tim got to be best pals all morning with Abbey. He had so much fun with her. They washed Daddy's patrol car, took a warm bath, wrestled with each other, and walked around the neighborhood with Abbey's new stroller (a small Graco stroller for baby dolls). She loves that stroller! Thanks Grandma Merrill for getting it for her! Tim said that she pushed it all by herself, only stopping to pick up the rocks on the sidewalk and throw them back into the landscaped yards so as not to get in the way of her stroller! She walked all the way down to the neighborhood park and back, which is quite the walk for a 18 month old little girl. She would have kept right on walkn' too. When Tim tried to get her to head home she made a fuss resulting in him carrying a very upset little girl back home! She loves to be outside!!

I love to see Tim bond with Abbey... His schedule has been in the very least difficult for me to handle (working nights). But it does have a upside too. It allows him to spend the bulk of Abbey's day with her. He normally leaves during her afternoon nap. She is a lucky little girl to have such a great dad!
