Abigail Marie

What a beautiful little girl. We love her so much. Abigail has been getting so big and mature. I can't believe she is coming up to 2 years old! She already has quite the personality... She is very independent but also loves to cuddle when it is on her terms. She loves her Daddy, especially when he wakes up with her and she spends the morning with him while Mommy sleeps in! She loves movies, Peter Pan was her first favorite. Lady and the Tramp, The Incredibles, Little Mermaid, and Cars are other favorites (except for Frank the Bull/Tractor in Cars, he scares her). She also likes cartoons in the morning. Sesame Street is her favorite and Curious George. She loves music, anything she can dance and jump to. She loves it when we sing Pop Corn Popping and tries to do the motions. She loves to pretend she can read Mommy's magazines and her own books. She likes to taste every ones meals and snacks, especially if it contains sugar. She has to have her hand in her hair when she is tired, bored, or calming herself from being upset. She loves to take any clip, rubber band or bow out of her hair. She loves Harry the Cat and is very interested in birds, fish and of course dogs (even though she is afraid of dogs coming up to her). She is very interested when Harry eats his wet food and will always bring Aunt Carrie the plate when he is done. She likes to go visit Grandma Webb at Springdale and say "Hi" and "Bye-Bye" to Grandma and everyone else in the hall. She loves to kiss Grandma Webb's hand and blow kisses to her. She also loves to walk very independently down the halls and play with the nurses. She loves to push wheelchairs, strollers and anything else that moves. She loves the water. Baths, swimming pools, puddles, and fountains are so much fun for her. She is quite the dare devil. She likes to make mom and dad nervous climbing on the table and dancing close to the edge. She also wants to jump right in any water, and in baths has learned how to lay on her back and float. She loves to help out with things around the house, putting trash in the trashcan, sweeping, finding the cleaning supplies, helping get out pots and pans to cook, laundry, and picking strawberries and tomatoes out of the garden (even if they aren't ripe). She loves her baby blanket mommy made for her before she was born, it is the only blanket that stays in her crib at night (the rest she will throw over). She loves to play outside, especially at Grandma and Grandpa Merrill's where it has grass and is nice and cool. She loves her cousins and aunts and uncles. She is learning to say her cousins names, so far she says "Wy" for Wyatt and Bode. She is starting to look at me and Tim and say "mommy" or "daddy" like she wants us to pay attention or answer a question (it melts my heart and I always answer "yes baby?"). She loves necklaces, bracelets and makeup. She also loves to put Aunt Carrie's tall shoes on. She is defiantly a girl. Still, she loves to run. She runs fast. She will also play with Wyatt's cars. She loves to laugh and play hide and seek or chase. She is ticklish. She loves the phone, cell phone, remotes and computers. She loves to turn on and off the TV. She loves to sit on the couch with you after she wakes up or before she goes to sleep and chill. She is very naughty in church but is really starting to love nursery. She will laugh mischievously when she is told not to do something and gets in trouble. When she gets in serious trouble she will automatically try to hug you and cuddle. She loves to fold her arms to say prayer. Sometimes she will mumble like she is saying her own prayer. She loves to be the center of attention, even though she will get embarrassed sometimes. She has a way of touching every ones lives she meets. She has such a strong spirit inside her that she wants to share with everyone. She is the most important person in my and Tim's life right now and we love her very much. Life wouldn't be the same without our little Abigail Marie.
