I Abby!

Abby has recently been saying "I Abby" when someone asks where she is while playing Peek-a-boo or when she is hiding. It got me to think about how much she does now compared to a year ago. It has been such a crazy year (especially the last four months) that I haven't been able to keep up with her, blogging-wise. Here's what it is like to be Abby these days. This post turned out to be longer than I thought. Sorry. I hope you enjoy it anyway.


The Move:
In case you haven't heard (haha), we recently had to move to North Carolina. Though we desperately miss Tennessee, especially all of our friends and family, we are settling nicely in Asheville. Abby has actually done the best of the three of us. Just see for yourself:

A toddler's paradise. The first two weeks in the apartment
were spent sans furniture save her little chair and pack and play
and an air matress for us. She was in heaven. Everything on her level.
I think she was disappointed when the furniture arrived.


Abby gave her friend, Jasper, a big hug on moving day.
She misses walking through the yard with "yapper."


Gramps and Abby check out the moving truck.
Her toys were the only things on the truck for a while. She was
confused as to why we had gotten such a big truck for such a job.

The movers were very thorough.


Abby and Daddy double checked every box to make
sure we had unpacked everything.

Now that we are moved. . .

We are open for visitors. We were so excited that
Granny, Kathy, and Randall stopped by on their
way to Atlanta. We can't wait for them to visit again!
We can't wait for more visitors.. come any time.


Game On! Abby and Daddy can finally concentrate
on their gaming skills again.


Breakfast is Abby and Daddy's meal.
They love to share their cereal with each other.


We talk to Grammy (who apparently is called MiMi according
to Abby) and Gramps every night. We recently added
a webcam. Great Fun!

She has been "helping" with the housework.


She uses her 'ipies" to help dust.


Also, she has been helping with the groceries.
(I refer you to the Snacktime post.)


She loves her new room.. especially the toy box.



She is catching up on her reading now things have
calmed down some.

MISC. . .

She loves to enjoy some "fine" dining.


For those who know her,
you know that this is her natural state.
She must always have access to her belly button.

Did we mention it has been REALLY cold.


That didn't stop us from travelling across the mountain
for Turkey Day!!


YUM!! Thanksgiving brunch with her cousins,
Aleigh, Mathew, and Ethan.
