So our baby turned 1 on Friday. I guess she's not a baby anymore, but she is certainly "our baby" and will likely remain so for the rest of her life. We celebrated by having mac and cheese for lunch and opening some presents after dinner. Then today we had Jason's family over for a party (we celebrated with the Iowa clan in September). Despite having a cold, Abby had a pretty good time at her party. She wasn't quite sure what to make of singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out her candle, but she did enjoy her cupcake in a very clean sort of way. She daintily would scrape off some frosting and eat it, then go for some more, then pick off a small piece of cake and eat it and so on.
After awhile Abby started running her fingers through her hair, but other than that she was very clean. Sorry, no face smeared with purple frosting pictures.
When we opened presents Sam was very eager to help her, so were Matthew and the cousins. It was like bees to honey when she started opening her gifts.
She got some toys, books and clothes and the big winners for her were the clothes. While she paid some attention to the toys, she loved the clothes. After she finished opening her gifts, she would pick up her clothes and wrap them around her neck or hug them. What a little girl. It worked out pretty well because the boys wanted to play with her toys, and she wanted to play with the clothes, so there wasn't any fighting (other than the boy fighting over Abby's toys...).
Anyway, we've been blessed with one year with Abby and what a year it has been!
