Way...Too....Fast....




Lately, I have found myself saying these phrases to people around me:


She is growing up SOO fast!

It seems like she does something different every day!

She comes up with the funniest things to say!

I love this age!


Here are a few examples - Last night, as I was rocking Abbie to sleep she popped up, looked at me (I had my eyes closed because I typically get tired way before her) and she said "Mama, wake up". It was so funny, I have no clue where she got that from, because God knows we have never said "wake up" to her. We've never had to!!


Tonight at the Outback, we were leaving and Wes got her out of the high chair, and the next thing we knew she had her shirt off, and her belly was just hanging out. Never done that before.


And this week she learned how to OPEN the doors in our house. Craziness.


So in short, there is never a dull moment in our house. Wes and I constantly find ourselves laughing out loud at her and she just brings so much joy into our lives. I did miss her 17-month update on the 13th, yep, one more month and she'll be halfway through ANOTHER year!


We love her.

I say the same things every day! It is such an amazing age... they are becoming individuals, developing personalities, likes and dislikes. I stop some times and just want to freeze frame that moment in time when he does something new.

I'm so glad that I got to spend a bit of time with Abbie. She's a sweet and funny little girl.

What a sweet post Shannon :) I know I do the same thing all the time, and think I sound cheesy saying it, but you are sooo right- the kids do bring so much joy and smiles all the time! We watch them at night instead of TV 1/2 the time just for entertainment! It's so cute what they pick up on and learn! With everything that has been going on with friends lately, I am so thankful to have them talk back, or fight with each other or wake up at night to eat... I wouldn't trade it!- Ali
