I often look at Abby and just admire how cute her little personality is. I just can't get over how much fun she is and how much she just makes us all smile. She is a pistol though. She is as sweet as her dad but as fiery as her mom. She loves to be held and cuddles with us frequently but she also loves to run around and play. She is easily entertained with her baby dolls, princess dolls, dress-ups, and doll house people. She still finds joy in singing songs and playing simple games. She is not too old to be bothered with the silly things but is old enough that her older siblings find her entertaining. This year I made a video of Abby on her birthday to document some of her favorite things. I just don't want to forget one single thing about her at this age. I guess that means that I need to spend more time taking video. A toddler's voice is like none other. It is so sweet and innocent. I don't ever want to forget what her cute little voice sounds like.
-When Abby is hungry she licks her lips and makes a slurping sound. It is hilarous.
-Abby loves to walk on her toes and we always wonder how she does it. -Abby is such a little monkey. She can hang on us without us holding on to her and she will sit there forever. When we are at the park she can grab the lowest bar and pull her feet all the way up to the bar. She is really quite strong and flexible.
-Everytime Abby sees mom and dad kiss she is quick to tell us all, "Mom and Dad kiss on the lips. Mom and Dad got married in the temple. Abby and mom only kiss on the cheek." Now and then she will try and kiss us on the lips just to be funny. She just giggles and giggles and then we finally give in.
