Abigail's First Birthday

What a cutie!  Yes, this post is going to be a brag post.  'Cause she's just adorable.  Her huge personality is adorable, too.  She loves to giggle and smile and she's even learned how to tease a little.  She's always on the move, except right now she's fast asleep after a long morning of play, play, play.  She loves to play peek-a-boo and thinks it's hilarious that mom can't find her under the blanket.  It's fun to watch her reactions at stores to strangers, she'll either give them a perfect poker face no matter how they try to coax a smile or she lights up and flirts with them.   Don't worry if she gives you a crusty look, though, it's more about her mood and if her tummy is full and her sleep ratio is good than if she likes you or not.  Mostly she's a sunny baby that sleeps all night long and is always game for something new.  Her favorite things?  Animals delight her and she doesn't even mind the licking from dogs.  Water to swim in, she always is trying to get into someone else's bathwater and when we go to a pool she splashes with the best of them.  She's been such fun and a real blessing.
 
I took a picture of her every month (mostly on her monthly birthday) on the same blanket with her rabbit stuffed animal (she was born in the Chinese Year of the Rabbit).  Well, I took one every month but her 12 month because we had an incident with the camera before I could get that one.  And I took one on her second month, but it's stuck in a flashdrive that won't open.  I'm planning on taking it to a computer store to see if we can get it fixed.  Any suggestions on a good place?
So here she is, growing every month:

NEWBORN
We took this picture right when we got home from the hospital, she didn't even have a name at this point.

1ST MONTH
She hardly ever took a binky, this is one of the few pictures with one. 
Very different from our Binky Boy Seth.

 
3RD MONTH
 
 
 4TH MONTH


5TH MONTH
 

6TH MONTH
Whoosh, al the sudden she's moving!
 

7TH MONTH


8TH MONTH
Such a big change in one month!


9TH MONTH
 
 

 10TH MONTH
 
 
 11TH MONTH
 
 
Hopefully we'll get the camera fixed so we can get a picture of her in all her one year old sunshineiness.
 
We did have my sister take a One Year Picture of her.  My grandpa was a photographer and he took pictures of all the granddaughters on their first birthday. Me and my sisters all hung above the piano for so long!  Since he passed away when I was little, Nicki took over the family photography and all the great granddaughters in our family have special pictures now, too.   
We took these on her birthday at the party at the Twin Falls.  She loved getting her picture taken, except for that pesky flower Mommy kept putting in her hair.  Still, they turned out so cute, thanks a ton, Nicki! 



 Sisters!
 
 In this one, she was trying to put that flower back in her hair.  She managed to blance it on her shoulder and thought it was funny that we were all laughing.
 
Love that cute little face! 
Happy first birthday Abigail!
