We all know children love to discover the world. When they see new things, they like to point out the object to show everyone. They get so excited to share what they found. Well, Abby loves to point at all the great things she is learning. There is a slight problem with how she shares her discovery...she always points with her middle finger. We are trying to help her understand that she can't use that finger and it's a little hard for her to do. It must be the strongest finger on her hand. I guess we can say that we have a frequent sighting of 'the bird' at our house...oh boy. "Other finger Abby."

Meltdown
Let's be honest, sometimes life isn't roses and daisies everyday. There are days that definitely 'test' us in a variety of ways. The past few weeks have been just that for Miss Abby. The poor girl has had her world turned upside down with the arrival of Baby Kate. Things were going well at the beginning when she had family doting around her, but then things changed. Now it's just Abby, Mommy and Katelyn during the day and Katelyn is not just a visitor. She loves her new sister, but is not so happy with Mommy, who now has to divide her attention. There are moments where she just melts my heart with the cute things she does and then others where both of us want to have a meltdown. :) I took this picture at the end of a very long day for both of us and I must admit that this picture makes me chuckle just a bit because of the expression on her face. As you can tell, she was not happy to be sitting on 'time out'. She thought she was 'helping' Katelyn by swinging her on her swing, which was very nice. But, she was trying to swing her like she was at Six Flags. I had asked her countless times to stop but to no avail. Thank goodness for awesome friends that have stopped by to visit and kept Abby happy. We are so grateful for all the help!
To close this post, I would like get some advice...
How do you help a 2 yr. old to not have meltdowns and adjust to a new sibling?

First Month
We have had a fun month getting to know little Katelyn. It's fun to look into her wide eyes and wonder what she is thinking about this world experience.
She seems to like the swing, other than when her sister tries to help her swing faster.
I love this face. This face would explain her fear when Abby comes to 'assist' her on the swing. Yikes!
I'm in love with all her spikey brown hair, it makes me smile.
This is how Katelyn felt about her first sponge bath. I think the expression on her face says it...
She is not thrilled about being wet.
Katelyn's current favorite things to do are sleep, eat, and repeat.
