Life

Abigail is a unique little girl. I love her! She has adjusted to a life with two older siblings very well by yelling MA! over and over again very loudly until I pay attention to her. If she's in arm's reach, she will pound on me quite hard also. Some days I think this little trait is going to drive me literally insane, but then I actually get to spend some precious time with her and I just can't get enough. She is happy, and bubbly, energetic, and funny. She loves to scare us. By this I mean stand on the back of the couch and teeter above the fireplace until Mark and I gasp and dive for her. She laughs and laughs and will do it again and again. It is really hard to punish her. We tell her no very loud and stern and she smiles. I've slapped her hand a few times, and got nothing, just laughter. Today at the pool, she was fearless. She loved scaring me, of course, by the second I got distracted by Emma or Gabe she would jump in or go under. After I almost had a heart attack she'd laugh. Then I'd laugh. She just cracks me up. She is so easy to please. She loves to point. She points at everything and gasps, and if I don't respond right away, she hits me and yells MA! until I do. But I love how curious she is, and how the simpliest things are so amazing. I get excited when she wakes up from her naps sometimes because she is such a joy. I can't imagine life without her. I love you Abigail!
