Yay! Abby is six today!
It’s hard to believe it’s been that long since we brought home a gorgeous 9 pound baby.
Would you believe she was less than six weeks old in this picture? She was a big ol’ baby with a BIG set of lungs. They actually had to separate her from all of the other babies in the hospital nursery because her cry was so loud that it kept waking up all of the other babies and causing quite a bit of chaos. She was a challenging baby who hated to sleep and was very particular about wanting things a certain way. (She gets that from her momma.)
She has grown into a big sister with a kind and compassionate heart.
And a little sister who can’t help but love to instigate a little bit of mischief.
She’s always been our most dramatic child.
She loves art almost as much as she loves learning and will spend every waking minute of her free time trying to teach herself something.
That is, when she’s not too busy dressing up and putting on shows.
She is terrified of tornadoes and spends a lot of time pondering questions that I would have thought beyond her years.
Her favorite colors are pink and purple and she can’t decide if she wants to go to Panera Bread or Chuck E. Cheese for dinner tonight. (I might have tried to persuade her in one direction, but I think she saw right through me.) She’s still obsessed with the characters from the movie Frozen, although, come to think of it, I don’t think we’ve watched it for months.
She was advanced in every area of math on her report card and is very proud of the fact that she can read. She gets annoyed with me when I read the bedtime story to her brother and sister at night because she thinks that she should now and forever be the one who reads all of the books all of the time. She asked her grandparents for her very own desk for her room for as her birthday present. They brought it to us over the weekend and she is in love with it.
Abby has been known to line up every stuffed animal that we own along the sofa or the fireplace hearth and conduct school for them. If you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up, she will tell you a teacher or a doctor. Lucky for her, there are lots of people who are both. I won’t be surprised if one day she joins their ranks.
In the meantime, Abby is having a lot of fun being six.
AWW, I’m crying happy tears remembering the years that have past with Abby girl. She is such a blessing from God. Beautiful post Steph !
