happy happy happy happy

it's hard to believe that abby will be 2 years old in less than a month. plans for her birthday party have begun and seriously? i don't know how people do this. maybe it gets easier, but i'm definitely not cut out to be a party planner. :)

abby's words have been multiplying like little bunnies. her fave toy these days is a fisher-price school bus, complete with multicultural little people. she loves walking those little people onto the bus to go to school almost as much as she loves trying to eat their heads off. another favorite activity here lately is anything that is preceded by a "one, two, THREE!" or a "ready, set, GO". doesn't seem to matter much what comes after the countdown, the joy is in the counting itself. she's also grasping the idea that everyone can have similar things. for instance, the other day we were putting coats on to go out, and she said, "abby coat, mommy coat!" it's amazing to watch that little lightbulb go on above her big ol' head.

uncle cory, aunt cortlee, and james and hayden will be in town tomorrow staying at a hotel in middleton, so we're going over there in the late afternoon to all go swimming together. abby has become quite the little fish, and even enjoys putting her face in the water during bathtime. and of course, she loves spending time with the boys. on monday we plan to make a day trip to milwaukee that will include a little side trip to pleasant prairie to tour the jelly belly factory. hopefully the day will go well considering we have not budgeted any time for a nap.
