Such.A.Big.Girl!

Abigail is such a busy (and sassy) almost three year old. She loves life and there is never a dull moment with her around. She has had a GREAT summer and seemed to develop so much in a short few weeks. Below is a picture update from her summer:


Silly girl always wearing Mommy's shoes.
The old boots were a hit for a few weeks. Here she is doing her runway walk and glare.
BIG NEWS! Abigail started dance classes over the summer and LOVED it. She gets to do ballet and tap each week while wearing her super cute leotard and tights (her favorite part I think). Here she is on her first day of dance class. Can we say, EXCITED!
In another first, Abigail participated in her first VBS (or PBS as she called it) this summer. Look how cute she is in her oversized t-shirt. (Notice a theme in these pictures - I grab a lot of last minute pictures on our way out the door at the house, hence the back door/trash can scenery.)
Yet another first (this summer was full of them), Chad took Abigail to see her first movie at the movie theater. They saw Winnie the Pooh and she actually made it through the whole movie. Abigail was so excited about her "date" with Daddy and insisted on putting on a dress for the outing. Look how happy she is to be going to the movies with her Daddy! (He gave her unlimited popcorn and Sprite at the movie = SPOILED ROTTEN)
We are gearing up for college football season just around the corner and are beyond excited! Abigail has been practicing MSU cheers in preparation for kickoff. She loves wearing her cheerleading uniform and insists on having her "Go State bell" and pom pom while wearing it. Poor Luke just has to endure these LOUD practice sessions.

Dress up has been the favorite activity of the summer at our house. Abigail cannot get enough of princess dresses, shoes, crowns, etc. We have such a girly girl on our hands. The picture below shows how you might catch her 95% of the time if you were to stop by.
The smile below is one of a potty trained little girl excited about her accomplishments in the restroom. She has been working hard the past few weeks and seems to have finally gotten the hang of it (hopefully we aren't speaking too soon on this subject). The pink scooter was her motivation in the LONG process and she was over the moon at finally getting to ride it.
And finally in the long list of "firsts" in this post, here is the big girl on her first day of "school." Mom's morning out started back this week much to Abigail and Mommy's delight. She loves her new teachers and could not wait to get the year started.
Oh how happy she makes us!

P.S. New post below too!

I loved both posts! You capture some neat moments that really seem to show their personalities. That is a handsome little man and beautiful princess you have on your hands!
