Abby is finally feeding herslef, yay! She is just
growing up so fast in so many ways, it always shocks us!

We went and saw little Elizabeth Ryan last night, she
is so cute and tiny! (my Brother, Chris's newest daughter).
Abby loves all of her new birthday toys too, she surrounded
in them everyday now!

Gavin and Josh's skiing outing last Saturday. I
think they are addicted!

We got these pictures done on Abby's 1st

Birthday. It was fun and she was hamming

it up!

I was able to buy Abby an Easter dress with this
cute bonnett, its so cute! I had to try it on her! She
is such a little goof!

These pictures say it all about the kind of week we just

had with Abby having the stomach flu! We felt so bad for

her and she just wanted to be held for 4 days straight! Gavin

was cute to help me out with her when I got worn out too from

helping her. He's a good Daddy! He had fallen asleep with her

in his arms, but she was just happy sitting there wide awake

with him. We're just glad she is better finally!

We had "bug" cookies for our little bug. It was a
fun party! She was definately spoiled!

Abby is 1!!! I can't believe it! We had a really fun
birthday party for her! She didn't like my chocolate
cake though as you can see wtih the screaming! I
think all the people scared her! We had about 24 people
come, it was so fun to have family and friends! We missed
Grandma Ryan and Mom and Dad though.

So it is about midnight and I'm still up doing my dictations! I just can't believe that our Abby is going to turn 1 tomorrow, or I guess that would be today since it is 12:09 a.m. She has made us so happy and we couldn't love her more. It's just a weird thought that I'm going to have a 1 year old!!!! It just makes me realize how precious my time is with her, she has grown and changed so fast. It makes me think of our Heavenly Father's love for each of us too when I think of Abby. Anyway, she is going to LOVE eating cake I'm sure since she always begs for our food already. She is about to walk and take off, then we will enter into the next phase of baby proofing our house.
