Abbie Is Growning Up

I've come to the realization that my kiddos are growing up way too fast! Abbie is almost 2 1/2 years old, but going on 16!!!! She has totally got a mind of her own, and the attitude to prove it!


Abbie loves her food! She will eat almost anything that you put in front of her. When she was younger, she wanted nothing to do with lettuce, even when drenched with her favorite ranch dressing. Now, she asks for it!!! She has one rule to eating most of her food though...it HAS to have some kind of condiment on it....most the times is either ketchup or ranch dressing. Tonight was a little different! In order to get rid of the cool whip that we acquired, I added it to the top of her peaches! She LOVED it!!! I had just missed getting a picture of her with cool whip all over her nose and chin. She did however ham it up to the camera the minute she saw it! That's my pretty little girl!




Yet another thing she has finally come to try is corn on the cob. She loves corn, but it had always been the kernels. Our neighbors grow fresh sweet corn, and were kind to give us a bunch. Abbie saw the corn and just went nuts! She even helped take the husk off! This is the first time she ever ate a corn on the cob! She couldn't get enough of it! She ate the entire cob and wanted more! Of course she was following daddy's cue, and decided that doing the typewriter bite was so much more fun! I had a blast just watching her go to town on the corn!

Now I know I have already said how much her singing warms my heart, but I need to say it again! She does more than warm my heart! She is a very musical little girl and sings much of the day. Even her daycare loves her singing all day long! They make it a point to sit and listen! I finally got her on video singing!!!! She is singing "Little Baby" (Hush Little Baby), Fwinkle Fwinkle (Twinkle Twinkle), and of course ABC's! Please don't mind me in the background! We have made it a tradition to say our prayers at night then sing Hush Little Baby before she goes to bed. Miss that, and she won't go to sleep!

In two short years my baby has grown up soooo much...almost too much too fast! I don't miss the screaming and crying of her infant days, but sometimes to have that little bundle in my arms again.... She is my pride and joy! She is one of the things I wake up for in the morning and she is one of the last things I think about before going to sleep at night. How I love this little girl!
