For everyone who is still visiting our site for Abbi, I am terribly sorry I have not posted before now. We have been so busy and Abbi really does not like for her Mom to be on the computer! We have done so much since we came home from China.

She has been to the beach several times and to the mountains. She's probably been on the go more in these 3 months than she was in her first 15 months in China. She is doing great for the most part. She does best around small groups of people and she likes to stay on her schedule. She's getting used to everyone and is learning something new everyday. She can say, "Momma, Dada, Bubba, uh-oh, no-no, night-night, bye-bye, quack, and woof-woof." She can point to her eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and foot. She understands so much of what we say! It's unbelievable that she has learned this much in only 3 months. We think she's brilliant, of course!

Drew is doing great with his new sister. She gives him hugs and kisses all the time, but she can also take up for herself if the situation requires. She's a little spit-fire and so much fun to watch. We feel so incredibly blessed. We can't remember what life was like before her. She has fit in so well and is loved by so many.

We hope you enjoy the photos which are of her belated first birthday, wearing a beautiful dress her Nana and PawPaw got her, and one that I just really liked of her. She's very photogenic, so we have a lot of good pictures of her. It was hard to just pick a few. She's a doll and we love her dearly. God has blessed us beyond measure and we are so thankful.
