Birthday Girl

Our sweet girl turned ONE today. We can't believe it. We celebrated with a butterfly cake we shared with Grandpa & Grandma Taylor and my niece. Abby LOVED eating the cake as you can see from the pictures and videos below.

At age one, she's standing alone but hasn't taken her first step yet. She crawls about 50 mph. She gives me huge hugs with her head on my shoulder and sloppy open mouth kisses. She tries to mimic all the sounds she hears, even "kick it" at soccer games. She has 5 teeth and her favorite food is strawberries, although she's a very good eater and will eat just about anything. Her favorite person is her big brother, and she lights up every time she sees him. They crawl around on the floor chasing each other or wrestling. She also likes to crawl and chase our dog, but Toffee will have none of it and runs away when Abby gets near. She loves to flirt with people at church. She is such a happy girl and gets a smile from everyone who sees her. Abby brings all of us pure joy with her sweetness and smiles.

Not a second to waste!

Finger lickin' good!
She polished that big piece off pretty well
