All about Abby

Abby is 2 1/2 now (a few months ago). She is very girly! She loves to imitate me in just about all things. I gave her some old makeup and she keeps it in a little purse and loves to get it out and put it on (and on and on...). Then she comes and asks if she looks "cute" and "so pretty"! She also loves to wear "cute dresses", which works well right now with the potty training because we can leave her bottom bare and she does a good job going on her own. The funny thing is that she HATES to get her hair combed (even with spray conditioner) and so this girl that wants to be all cute and pretty usually has a rat's-nest for a hair-do!




Another funny thing is that even though she has all her teeth in, she still drools. We don't know why, I guess she just doesn't have control of her mouth yet! Many cute pictures have been sabotaged by drool (which is hard to photoshop out!).


And not only does she like to imitate me, but her brother as well. Here she is trying on his helmet (backwards though!) and she likes to try to do just about anything he does, and often finds out that she simply not big enough or old enough to do it just yet!
But as she loves to be like Jamie, she is also very good at blaming Jamie for all things. Her most used words are "Jamie did it". Jamie does antagonize her quite a bit but I think she does her fair share of sisterly things back to him. She has a very nurturing personality so that if somebody gets her or is sad, she will go and hug them and say "okay, okay", or "wrong?".

Favorite activities: going to school, playing dollies, cooking (helping mom and in her own little kitchen), playing in grandma's playhouse, coloring and painting

Favorite foods: berries and most fruits, yogurt, and pancakes (she's a big breakfast eater!)

How she talks: Abby has a big vocabulary but uses very little "connecting" words. "Abby Jamie play sand saw spider", is a typical Abby sentence. "You do it", "got owie", "wike it" (which means don't like it)

Abby is so beautiful! (and that dress is adorable :)
That's so funny about the drool, i was laughing out loud seeing all the drips down her chin cause dallas used to do the same thing. hopefully she grows out of it, huh? ;-)

Too bad I can't come comber her hair everyday for you. I love the makeup pictures. You forgot to say that her other most used word is "2."

I also wanted to say that on the San Antonio post Jas and I thought it was hillarious that you guys actually stopped at the Truck stop Buc ees! Pretty sure those signs are for truckers, lol!
