11 months old!

Abby is 11 months old now! Once again I can't believe how fast time is flying bye! She is such a doll. I love my little shadow that follows me around and copies everything I do and every sound I make. When I cough she coughs, when I make any noise with my mouth or lips she tries to imitate it. I love it, she keeps a smile on my face. She is such a helper too. When I am loading the dishes in the dish washer she is right there standing next to the dish washer helping me, or if I am folding laundry she is right there pulling clothes out of the laundry basket faster than I can fold them. Yesterday I needed to wash her bedding so I pulled off the bumpers mattress pad and sheet and put it all in a laundry basket to take up stairs. I knew I couldn't leave her down stairs by her self so I loaded her up in the basket too. She just laid on all the bedding thinking she was a queen as we went up the stairs. It was pretty cute. To night we were putting her to bed, as we were going down stairs Stu was holding her and I was following pretending to get her and she was just giggling and squealing. We couldn't stop laughing ourselves. Her laugh is so contagious! Life would be so boring with out that little upside down beaver grin and those big blue eyes.
