Abigail is 2 and Terrible :)

Nathan did the honors of making this scrumptious red-velvet cake for Abigails' second birthday. She really enjoyed it and I really appreciated not having to make it!
Love it!

Blow!

Who needs a fork anyway?

She actually kept this little bow for the entire present opening- a miracle!

After Lily's party last week, Abs knew what this was all about and was quite excited to open her gifts.

Kissing her favorite gift, a stuffed horse.

Protecting the horse

Sharing the puzzle with Lily

What a sweet and crazy little 2-year-old this girl has become. She has a fun and yet somewhat crazy personality which seems to change hourly! When she is happy she loves to cuddle and play with her siblings. When she is unhappy she practices self-mutilation, such as pinching her face, screaming and yelling on the floor, biting her own hand, and punching things (hence I try to keep her happy!). She also has a terrible habit of eating things that really aren't meant to be eaten... in the last week I have found her biting into: Nate's deodorant (she actually got a bite and didn't spit it out); toothpaste (a regular occurence); chili powder (after which she came to me with a scared expression and pointed to her mouth and said "mouth ouch"); baby shampoo; lime juice extract, etc. I am sure there is more for this list but I can't remember very well. I am just amazed that she doesn't spit the stuff out and learn her lesson. I thought that by 2 she'd be out of the everything-goes-in-the-mouth stage!!! Gotta love her!
