Abbey is 6 months!

 
I can't believe how fast 6 months has gone by.  I can't believe what a lovely lady she is turning into.  It was a rocky start (she cried for 2 months straight-LITERALLY) but has turned into such a pleasant, easy going happy baby.  
A few things we love about our Abbey dear
She loves to eat and is an amazing eater.  She loves everything, especially applesauce, yams, and her wheat or oatmeal cereal.  Breakfast and dinner come complete with lots of yummy noises too!

She has recently started sitting up on her own.  She loves sitting on her blanket with a basket of toys.  She pulls one out examines it thoroughly, and sets it to her side.  She's very methodical about it, it's darling. 

She is oh so very ticklish.  Her feet (tops and bottoms), under arms, under her neck, her knees, and really all over. 

She has a very selective sense of humor.  Something is usually only really funny once.  After that you get a face that clearly says, "ya, that was kind of funny" but no giggles.  

She loves when dad comes home, she gets excited and has more smiles than she's had all day.  It's so cute!

We love her so much and feel so blessed to have her in our family.  I wonder all the time what it is like for her.  What it is like to be that little, to be in our family. If she's happy, if she misses where she came from.  I'm so grateful she chose the plan of salvation, I'm so proud she made that choice.  Some people say that they don't remember what they ever did before their child came, but I remember.  It makes her being here so much sweeter.  

Happy 1/2 birthday Abbey!!! We love you!
