Abby on the pony

The Animal Farm!

On Saturday Thanksgiving point had an even were you could pet the baby animals. So we took Abby because she LOVES animals. Well until you get close to one. She acted weird about it the whole time. Oh well it was good exposure for her.
This is a picture of Abby look at the sheep it moved close to her and she backed away. She wouldn't even touch the fence. Can't blame her though the animal is twice her size. If an animal twice my size started to move towards me I would back away too.



This is how they let you pet the baby animals. Wow that's exciting!! You can I guess stick you hand through the fence and pet them. I guess this was the best they could do. There was a lot of people around and it would be hard to let the kids come up and pet a free baby animal.
I tried to get pictures of Abby's face in these. It was a little difficult so I apologize.







Rob was trying to get Abby to let the baby animal ( I think it was a goat) eat a piece of corn off of her hand. It just kept falling out of her hand before the baby goat would get to it. Oh well he tried. I think Abby would have freaked out if he had actually touched her though. So good thing.











Rob showing Abby how to feed the baby goat.

Abby and Preston

There are three new posts so keep scrulling down.

My little Snow White

Abby has a Snow White costume. Keili gave it to her. She didn't care too much for it at first. But I brought it home and now she likes to ware it. She looks really cute in it.

Abby watching BAABEE! (baby Abby) on the TV

Abby started one day pointing at the computer and saying Baabee. So I started showing her videos of herself and I realized that she was trying to tell me that she wanted to see baby Abby. Rob and I haven't got out of the habit of calling her baby Abby. So Abby refers to her self as Baabee. That is baby Abby as one word. At least to Abby. She only separates them when I keep telling her Abby then she will say Abby and some times baby Abby.
This is a video of what it looks like when she is watching Baabee on the TV or computer. It's actually really cute to see her look at herself. She looks up at me all the time like she does on the video. Fun stuff.

This is what happens when a 15 mth old tries to help with the laundry. She mad a game of it.

I haven't been good at keeping up on the laundry so Abby and I spent one whole day doing it. Well all of it still isn't put away but I got them washed and dried. There are only two loads out of like 6 that need to be put away. Anyways, this video is the after math of struggling with a 15 mth old girl to allow me to put the clean laundry back in the basket. As you can see she won. Well actually I just thought she was so cute pushing it around so I filmed her doing it. It took me about 15 to 20 minutes for her to be done with pushing the basket around long enough for me to put laundry in it. She was very helpful with that part. She would grab the nicely folded laundry and chuck it in the basket. There goes my folding job. But hey she had lots of fun and she was helping.
You know I've been thinking a lot about being a Mom lately. It's the most rewarding thing I have ever been through in my life. There are MANY more enjoyable times then crapy times. I read the Ensign article this month from the first presidency about parenting. It made me think more and more about how greatful I am to be a Mom and having such a great little girl. I have decided to more appreciative of the little things that Abby does like destroying my folded laundry. This stuff is so easy to fix it's not worth getting upset about. Just laugh and have fun is what I am trying to do more of. Abby has actually stopped acting up as much.

This is a picture of Abby with her friend Carissa. She is a cute girl. Carissa is 3 weeks older then Abby. It is so cute to see them play together. P.S. check out Abby's shoes. I think they are so cute. She loves them too. She requests to wear them all the time. I finally taught her how to put them on herself. Now she wears them all the time. They don't match a lot of the time but hey she can put them on all by herself.


Abby loves to be outside. All day yesterday during conference she wanted outside. She would walk over to the door and YELL MOM...MOM...MOM until she felt like she had my attention. She would then pound on the door to show me that she wanted outside. It was hard to teacher her that we are watching conference and we will go outside when it is over. This picture to the right is a picture of her with my keys trying to unlock the door.


Abby loves to look at the ducks that we have in the pond behind black horse run. She just stairs at them and points every once in a while, It's cute. She also likes to look at the horses that are across the street. Abby and I have had a lot of fun exploring things lately so I thought I would share some of them.

NO SOCKS PLEASE

Abby is such a funny little girl. She will not stand for socks to be on her feet while she sleeps. Here is a picture of her after she had pulled them off.




This picture is of Abby dragging her favorite blanket behind her. She has to have this blanket to go to sleep. It has this triangle edge. She sucks on them. It is so funny but hey what ever helps her go to sleep is fine with me. I just think it's cute that she drags it behind her. She use to trip over it but she has learned to make sure it drags behind her before she starts walking. She walks around it when it's in the way.

Friends

So Abby has a new friend. His name is Garrett. Matt and Amy might know his parents. I don't even know there name. She is Latin and he is white. He works in construction and she works as an accountant. They live about 2 buildings down from us.
Anyways, he is outside at least as much as Abby. So they see each other a lot. They actually play well together. I am trying to get her more friends around her age. Most of the parents I know they children are 2 or 3.

I also meet with a friend of mine names Janelle. She has a daughter named is Carissa. She attends the spanish branch. Carissa is only 3 weeks older then Abby so they play really well together.
Well, back to these pictures. Abby in this one is holding Garrett's broom. It took him a while to get her to give that back to her. At least there not in the stage were everything is theres. Anyways I thought these were cute pictures that you guys would like to see.
