Here is Abby in her new dress from Grandma. We have alot happened since Dad got home. Grandpa and Dad installed a new swing and slide playground equipment. It is beautiful and Abby will get lots of use out of it. We had a big 4th of July celebration at our house. I think there was about 25 people with 9 being kids under the age of 8. Abby didn't like the fireworks. We have found her first fear. She is also waking up about an hour or so after she goes to bed. We haven't figured out if it is her molars, nightmares, or if she is scared of the dark. Maybe a combination of everything. Poor kid. Abby also had her first birthday. She wiped frosting all over her mouth and put some cake in her hair. We had Grandpa and Grandma down to entertain and we went to the Cardinal's game. Abby's name went on the board saying she was 1 year old. Thanks to Dad. Abby enjoyed going up and down the handicap ramp. I would say she went up and down it at least 100 times. She also only had a hour and half of naps that day and was up until 10:30 pm. She wanted to be up for her birthday. Dad and I then painted Abby's room a "Softer Tan" and I put up a teddy bear border where the bear are catching bugs. The room turned out really good and I like it. Abby didn't really say whether she liked it or not just enjoyed going around her furniture in the middle of the room. I think that brings us to this week. Abby's uncle came home and she likes getting his attention. New words are "doe" meaning no or don't and "da p" meaning the pup. My mistake for always calling Yukon, "The puppy."
