Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to post once more before Christmas. We truly pray you will all do as Abby Kate is doing in the first picture and look up this Christmas. Our Pastor a couple of weeks ago talked about how Christmas is one of two times a year that the supernatural world collided. We pray you will all put JESUS in the center of your holidays and that your time with your families will be blessed. We love you all!

She knows the GOOD stuff!

I promise I washed this out first! I am simply addicted to Sonic's Diet Cokes. They are the highlight of any day I can afford one. My husband thinks it is a huge waste of money but what does he know....he has about 50 knives....
Well, we have a walker! She took about 7 steps today. She is still a little shaky but is doing it!

I am the best present EVER!

This child never ceases to crack me up. She just keeps getting funnier and chatty-er (I know this is not a word :)) but thought I would share these fun pics. She has been taking steps these past few days so we may have a walker soon!

My First Birthday

Well, our precious girl is now one! We had such a fun birthday with our families this weekend. She got tons of fun presents and ADORED the attention. I was shocked at how much she loved everyone looking at her! I did a montage for her birthday and would love for you all to see it if you have 7 minutes to spare. Thank you all for checking this blog and watching her grow. We have LOVED this first year and here is to many more....

This is her montage address

I'm One!

I will have many more pictures after tomorrow. We are having a small family birthday party and I will post the 12 month update and pics as well. However, yesterday, her true birthday was so fun! We sang Happy Birthday when we went in to get her up and she just jumped up and down and "sang" along. We had pancakes for breakfast (a first for her) and she gobbled them right up! We had a pretty low key day, stayed in our pjs and just played (it was about 21 degrees here yesterday). We put on Christmas music and danced and danced. This child LOVES to dance (it is hysterical). Anyway, I was changing her diaper and said "Abby Kate, are you one?" and she held up one finger. I thought it was a fluke but then asked her 3 other times and she did it again. I finally got it on video (sort of)...she got really excited and jumped up and down so you can't see the one finger too well but it is on her left hand. Thought I would post it anyway. Love you all and thanks for all the birthday wishes for her! http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i311/snqualls/?action=view&current=DSCN0891.flv

Watching Veggie Tales

People do not believe me when I tell them how much this child loves music, namely Silly Songs with Larry from Veggie Tales. This was her watching it on Sweetie and Poppy's bed. This same night, we also got to see 10 deer at the corn feeder outside their bedroom window! SO NEAT!
