Horseback Riding

Don't get your hopes up... I only have a couple pictures to post. It has really been a very busy last couple months. As you can see below, I was able to take some time out to visit my Aunt and go horseback riding. This was totally cool. What was more cool than getting to ride the horse was seing my cousin and having her teach me to fish out of the horse's drinking tub. I tried to get Abby to get on the horse, but she seemed to be more interested in playing (and falling) off of the playhouse.

Abby and I are doing really well. We got to stay home from school last week with mommy and daddy and it was great. Grandma and Grandpa came down to help take care of us while mommy and daddy went to the doctor. We absolutley loved having them over and they were so nice to us. I hope they can come back again really soon.

Abby is really getting big. She went to the doctor a couple weeks ago and he said that she was way above the 95th percentile for height. While she is not really saying too many words yet (dadda, no, stop, mine, momma, hi, bye and that) she is still pretty smart. She can tell you were most of her body parts are and loves to point out the trucks and airplanes when she sees them. Abby also LOVES to read. Sometimes when I am watching tv, she is in my room with all my books around her and carefully going through each one. I really don't mind, but I end up having to clean up the mess. Abby is really good at running and loves to go on walks around the block. I think mom and dad get a bit frustrated when she does not stop or turn when they want her to, but come on, she is 18 months!!!! I will not get into her eating issues...just suffice to say she is VERY picky.

I am doing quite well myself. I seem to be catching on to things at school pretty good. I have things like counting to 20, some Spanish, all the colors, knowing left from right and sarcasm pretty down. I love to tell stories and can carry on a converstation with myself with very little help. Dressing in princess clothes are my absolute favorite thing to do. When I go to my friend Olivia's house we tear into the closet right away to find the most amazing outfit.

So, sorry that there are not any more pics, but I will get onto dad about that later.
