It's been a crazy year for the munchkin and me. Hopefully we'll keep you updated with photos and news and everyone will forgive me for taking so long. Here's a quick rundown of whats been going on.
As of July, Chris and I made the decision to seperate and bring a close to our marriage. We hope to work together to be the best parents for Abby we can possibly be! Neither of us will ever deny our undying love for our little girl and plan on trying to be there to support her no matter what.
Abby celebrated her first birthday in style as a Pirate on Oct. 28 at her birthday bash. There were a ton of guests and people to catch up with. I hardly had a moment to play with my kiddo! She had so much fun although present time got to be a little long. Each new present had to be played with and the still wrapped presents to be ignored. It took forever to convince the munchkin to open them (its taking me even longer still to get Thank You cards out). She got 3 cars for her birthday, a cozy coup from Mommy, an electric ATV from Grandma Ellen, and a Whinnie the Pooh electric car from Grandpa Joe. As if she weren't spoiled enough Grandma Nancy got her a play kitchen.
On Halloween, her actual birthday we went Trick or Treating. After a couple of times of trying to drag the stoller up stairs we gave up and took turns carrying her to each house. At the houses she got the idea of knocking; unfortunately her little body couldn't knock loud enough for anyone to actually hear so after she knocked we snuck in a knock to let them know we were there. It was hilarious watching people try to put to logic giving her extra candy because she was younger. They'd be like, "she's so young, she can have two pieces of chocolate" or "what candy do you think she would like?" It was hilarious because anyone who has kids knows I wouldn't be insane enough to give my kid a majority of that candy. Overall she had a wonderful birthday!
