Abigail's 6th Birthday

My next-to-the-last baby is not a baby anymore! Abigail breaks the mold in our family. She's unique in her very own way but fits in perfectly. She loves fashion & clothes, she loves princesses, baby dolls, and Barbies. She is determined and sometimes stubborn in getting what she wants. She prefers to play with me or her siblings, as opposed to playing on her own, but if she does have to be on her own, she loves to craft-- cut & glue things together or add glitter or stickers.

She has a really hard time with reading-- we're working hard on blending letter sounds together to make words, but she excels at math and can already add most numbers up to 10. She gets frustrated with herself easily if she thinks she can't do something perfectly. She loves to play outside and do gymnastics. She loves dancing and music and Barbie movies. She's quiet and shy around new people but certainly knows how to tell a story.

She loved this doll when she saw it weeks ago in the store and was so happy when she got it even though I thought for sure she really wasn't serious about how much she wanted it. It goes in the bath with her and sings songs. 

She had three friends over for her first ever sleepover on the weekend after her birthday. It was certainly interesting having 3 six-year-olds over. A few of them had a hard time falling asleep downstairs together and were up till pretty late, but after I sat with them and read them a story, they seemed fine and finally fell asleep. They got along really well together and Abi loved having her own friends over, rather than Leah's for a change.

One friend got her this 14" doll, adding to her obsession-- I mean, collection!

Her only request for her cake was for it to have colorful sprinkles around the side and candy on it. Easy enough.
