Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Abigail celebrated her first birthday this past weekend.  I can hardly believe that she is a year old.  We celebrated with a party of 30+ friends and family and plenty of kids running around.  This post may sound more like something that should be in a baby book but since her baby book is packed somewhere in storage I want to record her milestones and likes and dislikes here.  
Abigail took off with Cassie's "baby Emma"

She likes us to sniff her stinky toes!  She will shove them in your face and then laugh.
Don't leave the house without these three things: passie, lovie, and sippy w/water or milk.

She is down to two nursings a day: sometimes when she wakes up and before bedtime.
