Abby's First Birthday

Abby turned ONE!  She is now a BIG GIRL!  Her birthday fell on a Thursday (8/23/2012) so Daddy and Mommy took off work and celebrated.  Daddy, Mommy, and Abby made a day in Austin.  We went to the Austin Children's Museum where Abby played with colored rice, pretended to milk a cow, slid down the slide, played with trains and magnet letters and a bunch of toys that made loud noises.  Then we went to Mighty Fine Burgers since Abby loves french fries and had lunch.  Our next stop was to the pet store to check out the fish, hamsters, and birds.  Abby enjoyed that!  We then went toy shopping at Target GreatLand.  Our very last stop was the splash pad by Daddy's work.  Daddy and Abby played in the water and then we called it a day and came home and played, played, played!  Abby seemed to have a great first birthday.  I know Daddy and Mommy enjoyed hanging out with Miss Abbygale for the day! 

The big news for the day was....Abby got to face forward in her carseat!  Woohoo - she can now see trucks, Tec (tractors), and all sorts of things out the window.
