One Year Old
Abby turned one year old yesterday! I can't believe how fast time flys!! Her class had a party for her on her birthday and then we will be having a family birthday party on Saturday to celebrate.
The last month has been wonderful as Abby is now walking. She is all over the place, which means that mommy doesn't have time to put a blog entry together unless she is sleeping. We have her one year old doctor's appointment today and I took the morning off so that I could update this (and she is napping). :)
Here are my favorite pictures, videos, and stories from the last month. All of our pictures from the month are posted on our Shutterfly account. I do plan to put together a looking back post that will talk about some of the most memorable stories and pictures from her first year (hopefully sometime this month).
This first video was taken yesterday. She has pretty much mastered the walking thing by now. An earlier video below will show all the falling that happened in the beginning of her transition to toddlerhood.
Memorial Day weekend, we were invited to spend some time with Stacey, Ron, Raegan, and Stacey's parents at their lake house. We had a wonderful time playing with Raegan's toys and riding on their boat.
We had a few fun nights hanging out with our friends Jimmy, Rochelle, Austin, Bella, and Mia.
A few nights we hung out with our friends Dan and Nae. Abby always had a ton of fun playing with Dan!!
We went to Port Aransas for a long weekend with Steven, Angela, and Dylan. Abby wasn't so sure about the beach at first, but once we put water shoes on her... she was fine. She does not like the feel of sand at all... on her hands or feet. Just like her daddy!
Now that she is walking, I had to put her in a dress! Before she was walking, she could only wear dresses that wouldn't get in the way of her crawling, which was very few. Below is her first dress to school picture... and the video I was telling you about above. This was taken about 2 weeks ago... her walking has improved tremendously!!
We have a mini grand piano in Abby's room which she plays on every day. My favorite part is watching her sit on her stool. She will stand all the way up on it and then move her legs around until she is sitting down. One evening right after her bath, I put her diaper on and was getting her PJs ready when she went to play the piano with no clothes on. I yelled for Jason to get the camera... and we got these cute pics!

Catch Up
There are too many things that have happened since my last blog to mention them all. I will list a few and share my favorite pictures from the month of April and early May.
We had a wonderful Easter with Kim's parents and grandmother.
Ben and Bridget's wedding was beautiful!!
We celebrated Mia's 4th birthday.
Abby started standing by herself and took her first steps. Stay tuned for videos...
We took cute boat pictures.
We went to the International Festival in downtown Houston.
Houston flooded and Abby was out of school for a few days. During those days we did a bunch of playing with Hannah and dancing.
Abby got a really cute house that she plays with every day now.

Abby's favorite book is called "So Big" and its main character is Elmo. Elmo is so big... just like Abby.
Abby eats big girl food: chicken, rice, beans, carrots, bananas, yougart, etc.
Abby flirts with boys.
Abby is interested in history.
Abby likes hanging out with her girlfriends.
Abby makes sure that Hannah does her business.
Abby cruises around the furniture.
Abby stands up as much as she can.
Abby walks around with her friends.
Abby drinks from a straw.
PS: When she is tired she knows to take a nap. This was taken 5-minutes after the Drinking from a Straw video.

Two Teeth
Abby's second tooth came in about a week ago. Here is a great smiley picture of her two teeth!
Abby is definitely at the age where you have to watch her every second. Her favorite things are the things are light sockets and opening cabinets and drawers. Thank goodness for baby proofing objects! We are finishing our baby proofing this weekend (we have put the locks on the kitchen cabinets but not in the bathrooms yet).
Just in case I should forget for a second to watch her, she will almost immediately remind me. For example, today is Abby's 9 month check up. Before the doctor, I thought it would be fun to take a few videos (see below). As I was reviewing one of them, I hear a loud splash of water and a lot of laughing. Abby had crawled into the kitchen and dumped out the dog's water bowl. I am so lucky that Hannah had eaten all of her food or I would have had to worry about her choking on the food! The lesson I learned: no more preparing for blog posts until Abby is asleep. :)
