Gymnastics at 3

Abbygale has started gymnastics class for 3 and 4 year olds.  She is doing well socializing, learning her rolls, and doing other fun stuff. She always leaves by saying the class is "so much fun."  She looks forward to this weekly outing.  She will be doing a back handspring before long :)

This was before her very first class...she was "super excited!"

Parade with Mawmaw and Pawpaw

Abbygale went with Mawmaw and Pawpaw to the LaGrange parade before going to the goat show.  She had so much fun at the parade picking up candy and waving to everyone.  She has her beauty queen wave down solid!

Abbygale's 3 Year Check-Up

Abby turned three and that means "time for your check-up with Dr. Hughes."  We went on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 at 10 am and Abbygale did wonderful.  She was so ready for her check-up and was very brave.  They took her weight and height, her blood pressure, and checked her eyes, ears, and throat.  She listened well and did exactly what they asked.  She however didn't speak a word.  Not one word.  The little girl who talks non-stop wouldn't talk to Dr. Hughes even when he showed her a goofy pen and gave her a coin for a treasure. 

Miss Abbygale was 37.5 pounds (90th percentile) and was 39.5 inches (95th percentile).  He said to keep her on non-fat milk, make sure she is taking vitamins, and she is current on all of her shots.  No shots until 4, where she will have to get 2 shots.  When he calcuated Abby's BMI she was in the upper normal range.  He said she is perfect!  He estimated she is going to be 5 foot 9 inches when she is fully grown.  By age 11, she should be 5 foot 2 inches (or her Mommy's height).  Pretty funny but I LOVE the fact she is going to be taller than her Mommy.

He didn't want to give her a flu shot and they didn't have mist yet so we have to go back in a few weeks for the flu mist.  Besides that, fingers crossed we dont' have to see Dr. Hughes until Miss Abbygale is 4 years old.

Abbygale Kate Helford Turned Three!

Abbygale is now 3 years old.  Oh my gosh, the years have flown!  We celebrated all weekend and tried to make her weekend extra special.  On Saturday (her actually birthday) we went to Chuck E Cheese, Toys R Us, and Minnie Mouse came to our new house to have a tea party with Abby.  She was shocked and so excited.  She loved seeing the real Minnie Mouse.  She invited Minnie to her birthday party on Sunday.  Mawmaw and Pawpaw also spend the entire day with us, which Abby LOVED!

Sunday we went to Zilker Park for Abby's birthday party.  We played on the playground, painted bird feeders, painted a Minnie Mouse, put on tattoos, played pin the bow on Minnie, rode the train, and had a surprise visitor - Minnie Mouse.  The kids loved it!  Abbygale was super excited and loved her birthday party.  Everyone who came helped make it magical for her!!  Thank you all!!

After we cleaned up the birthday, we went and put our feet in the water and relaxed a second then headed home.  We unpacked and Abbygale played, played, played with all of her new toys.  She was on a super high all weekend!

Happy Birthday Miss Abbygale!  We love you so much and you have blessed us tremendously.  You are so perfect at three and we can't wait to continue to make so many more memories with you and celebrate all your special events.  We love you!  XOXO!
