Happy Birthday Abbi!!!

Abbi's 1st birthday was on the Sunday Feb. 14th. It was a fun day, we had my parents come over for dinner after church, and after dinner the festivities began! Abbi didn't quite know what to think of her cake. She just kind of stared at it, but we got the candle blown out and went on to presents!



Abbi is opening her first present from G & G Welch. She likes to hand whatever she has in her hand to you, hence I get the wrapping paper as she gets to her gift.

Abbi loves the book they got her. It has animals in it with different material etc. to feel. Her favorite is the "fluffy bird" She also got some cute outfits that Grandma Welch made and a cute little dress for when she's older.

I had to help unwrap the next present, but when Abbi could see what was in it...move over mom! She was pretty excited to see that she got a purse with her own things to go in it! I told my mom that Abbi loves to get into my purse and go through everything, and my mom was a genius and found this purse for Abbi! She absolutely loves it!

We got Abbi her own vacuum! I know, many are thinking wow, but Abbi loves it when I get our vacuum out to clean the floors, so now she has her own! It may be a little big for her though as it is as tall as she is! She also got some new Sunday shoes but she got those earlier so she could wear them to church.

Cake time!!! Abbi was not shy to dig right in as soon as the cake was set down in front of her. Notice the cake free face in this picture...it doesn't stay like that for long.

Woops! She dropped some cake and is looking for it. She doesn't want to waste a bit!

The cake face progression...getting more on there

And more...

Working to get a good handful to try and stuff into her mouth.

And let the stuffing commence!

The end product! She absolutely loved the cake! She looks like she has a cake beard! After this we ran off to the tub and did a quick wash. It was hilarious to watch. She was in heaven with the cake, however bedtime didn't come till 9:30 as it was a little more difficult than usual to get her to wind down. I wonder why???

Abbi Pics

A couple of misc. pictures of Abbi. (What else do we take pictures of???) I though Abbi was just looking quite cute on this day. Her hair is naturally this curly and when she lets it be it will stay this way all day. I love it!





Now when she doesn't leave her hair alone it will end up looking like this! I can't help giggling when I look at Abbi in this picture. The tongue sticking out is a staple for Abbi. She is getting up from her nap and is pretty happy. Gotta love her!



Abbi has learned to walk and likes to explore. She especially likes Dad's night stand. She likes to lose his place in the books he has there and move everything around. She can be pretty mischievous when she wants to!

Christmas

This is Abbi in her dress I made her for Christmas. By the end of the day at church the headband and bow had been pulled off and her hair was everywhere! If she isn't distracted she will ALWAYS pull her hair bows out. It frustrates me to no end, but what can ya do? I have pictures of Christmas morning on my phone (how horrible of me that I forgot our camera for Christmas!) I just need to figure out how to download them to my computer. So this is it for now as far as Christmas is concerned.
