Where shall I begin...hmmm.  Abigail is definatly one of a kind and thrills me and drives me crazy, gererally at the same time...LOL.  I have called her my motivated child since birth, and it was prophetic that she was delivered with me standing up.  Had she had the chance, I think she might have been able to take off right then!!  After having had two children already, I thought I knew what I was in for, but Abigail did/does everything different than her brother and sister.  She is my first to have walked at 10 1/2 months old, and climbed a day later; my first to refuse baby foods and prefer BIG people food from the get-go; my first to talk early and clearly; my first to be into anything and everything, ESPECIALLY the things she is not supposed to be in to; my first to prefer being nude and without shoes as much as possible; my first to color every wall in the house; my first to find a major fascination with pouring things, particularly if it is somewhere she isn't supposed to; my first to discover the joys and artistic expression in poop smearing; my first to have colic; my first to go from crying to laughing in a split second; my first to throw full fledged falling-on-the-ground-kicking-screaming-head-banging temper tantrums (and started them at one!!); basically, she's had a LOT of firsts!!!  LOL

Abigail lives life to the fullest and expresses emotion intensly.  She either loves something, or hates it, and there are no ifs, ands, or buts with her.  Her intensity breeds intensity in those around her and when she is having a good day, we all are having one.  She can make the grumpiest person smile with her antics, and the most sane crazy with them.  She is truly one of a kind!!!

She is an actress, no doubts about that.  Her favorite thing to do is perform and when she has finished with her act, she bows and says "Fank oo SO much!!", or Thank you so much!!  She IS a character!!

As insane as she can make me sometimes, she is my only link back to "normalcy", or the life I "thought" I'd have.  She keeps me grounded and helps me remember to enjoy all the little things in life, all the MOM things, that I miss sometimes because of the issues her sister and brother have.  Ultimatly, its the MOM things I want to do the most, and remember the most when I am old and gray and sitting in my rocker.  Miss Abigail is going to do amazing things with her life and I am very proud of my "baby" as she has rumbled through the terrible two's and into the ???? three's.  Because really, as much work as she can be sometimes, she is an inspiration and a joy to be around (atleast most of the time...LOL).

She really IS my Sunshine!!!!
