ONE!!!

Our baby is ONE!

SHE:

--babbles non-stop.

--signs the words up, more, finished, and please. And says several words.

--is a sponge: mimicking and learning new things so quickly.

--sings on demand.

--says "hi" and waves at everyone!

--loves to eat any pasta.

--is always moving! We call her our little "wiggle worm"!

--is close to walking on her own.

--loves to play like the big kids do and be included!!

We had a simple birthday celebration and were lucky to have Grandma Barnhurst with us. Grandma, with the help of Jake and Tess, made her a brightly colored butterfly cake. Jake and Tess helped me wrap some "new" toys for Abby. She didn't know quite what to do with the icing on her cake but soon was devouring it all!!

Abby had all the help she could ask for...only she didn't ask! This picture of Tess just cracks me up! Tess is definitely a Branham (gritting her teeth at Abby all the time)!
