Frog Princess!

Just a few pics from this morning of my sweet Frog Princess...

I was just about to strap her down, when...TADA!!! She beat me! She is just too fast and smart for her Momma!!

Love playing Hide and Seek with my girl--she always wins!!
Miss Abigail is just a frog lovin' girl--she's sporting her froggie pj's, laying on her Frog blanket that Aunt Madeline made, and playing with Fred the Frog, that Nana and PawPaw won for her at the fair! Hope we don't all get warts!!

Pigtail Princess!!

Well, I finally got brave enough to break out those tiny little rubberbands and attempt a new 'do for my girl. Those who know me well know that I am not a hairdresser. I'm doing good to get this mane in a ponytail...But, I was tired of her pulling her bows out the second after I put them in, so I decided to try a new tactic...this would be the result:

LOVE IT!!! She can still get them out, but it takes her longer and it hurts, so she's already thinking twice about pulling them out! I must say, she just gets cuter and cuter every day...

Lately...

There is nothing more that my baby (ok, babies) love to do than roll around together!! Abigail thinks it's hilarious that her Daddy is always trying to kiss and love on her. She pretends to try and get away from him, but she's always watching to see how close he is to catching up...and if he's too far, she'll go after him!! Love this pic!!
Miss Priss thinks she is Too Big in her big girl rocking chair sitting between Momma and Daddy watching TV!! (At this moment, they were watching LSU go down the tubes--love the look on her face!! Pretty much describes the whole game...)

Abigail and I had a fun time today having lunch with Aunt Deb!! Although the Princess slept through the first half on Aunt Deb's shoulder, she really came alive once she woke up!! And she LOVES the new George Strait CD (who wouldn't?), and she did NOT want to give it back to Aunt Deb when it was time to go!! She finally did give George (and Aunt Deb) some sugar and released her death grip...Thank you, Aunt Deb, for lunch!! We'll have to do it again soon!! Love and kisses!!

Greens and Great Balls of Fire...

Momma's little Country Princess loves her groceries!! And apparently, that now includes greens! (She does Not get that from me--must be her Daddy and Ma, her PawPaws, etc.) Justin picked some from our garden the other day, and she ate 2 1/2 bowls!! She loves 'em!! At first, she wasn't too sure about the texture, but she quickly got over that. The aftermath is somewhat gaseous, but at least she's eating her vegetables...
The Princess loves her new piano from Nana and PawPaw!! She can play all kinds of songs on it already! Her Daddy played "Amazing Grace", and--I promise--she picked out a few notes after he finished! I really do think she's got some musical talent--she loves all kinds and she has pretty good rhythm for a one-year old!! (It still feels really weird to say that...)

Crazy/Beautiful

What am I gonna do with this crazy girl?? I get her all dressed up for church in her Princess Birthday dress, and what does she want to do??? She wants to play fireman with her Daddy!

That Elmo is so funny!! (The stupid thing won't shut up--thanks, Aunt Amie!!)

Not sure why, but for some reason, my dainty little Princess has started making the face seen below ALL THE TIME!! She thinks it's hilarious when you do it back!! I have no idea where she got it from--Justin and I DO NOT walk around looking like that!!

My sweet little old lady this morning, all wrapped up in her blanket, rocking in her rocking chair...reminds me of Ma! She would love to get some of that Abigail sugar!!

Birthday Party Pics!!

Here are just a few pics from the Princess' Birthday party on Saturday...somehow in reverse order again...oh, well, Momma's tired...It's exhausting being the Momma of a 1 year old!!

Singing "Happy Birthday"--she could not care less!!

Momma's poor planning resulted in a party during naptime...

Miss Priss did have fun playing with PawPaw Jerry and her balloons!

That PawPaw is so funny!

Sitting pretty...

Dancing with Papa! My girl's got rhythm! She must get that from me!!:-)
Princess Sleepyhead missed the first hour of her party! Daddy tried rocking her for about an hour before the party, but it backfired, and he slept while she played...
Then, about 1:45, she fell sound asleep!!

After awhile, she warmed up and played, only to fall back asleep again before the party was over...oh, well, maybe next year'll be better!!

We sure missed Nana and PawPaw, and Aunt Deb, but we hope PawPaw and Aunt Deb will be feeling better soon! Abigail sends a big "Thank You!!" to everyone for all of her presents! She is a very blessed little Princess to have so many wonderful people in her life! She sends everyone a royal smooch!!

Happy 1st Birthday, Abigail Elizabeth!!

Day 1

Day 365
WOW!! At 12:11 this afternoon, our Princess turned one whole year old!!! It's so hard to believe, and "time flies" seems way too cliche' to describe how we feel...What a precious, priceless gift we have been blessed with. It seems like I always wanted to be a Momma, but I never knew it would feel like this. I've been grinning and fighting back tears all day...Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Lord for our beautiful girl! Momma and Daddy love you forever!!
