Abigail Turns 2!

I'm running a few months behind on documenting all we did this summer, but Abigail has had a BIG summer!  She has moved from a crib to a big girl bed, she is sharing a room with her sister and she is conquering potty training.  I feel like she has grown up so much this summer. 

On June 16th, she turned 2 years old, and we did some low-key but so-fun celebrating.  We took the girls and met Grandma and Papa at Monkey Joes in Warner Robins.  Neither have ever been to anything like Monkey Joes so it was such a big treat- they didn't stand still the entire time with so many bouncy houses to choose from, and everyone but this pregnant mama joined in on the bouncy house fun.

After an exhausting and exciting morning, we headed back to Macon for pizza and naps.  After naps, we had cupcakes, opened presents and played with all our new toys.  It was such a wonderful day with wonderful company.  I know Abigail loved every minute, and here are some pictures from the day!
So excited about all the bouncing and sliding options



Daddy did some serious sliding too



Grandma enjoyed bouncing too!

Everyone had a blast playing with bubbles


Of course the best picture I get, she is sitting on her new potty

Tiny Dancer

I love having little girls!  Our days are filled with playing "mommy", crafting and dressing up.  Katherine loves to dress up as Cinderella, Belle, Minnie Mouse and Tinkerbell, but she also loves to dress up as a ballerina.  She loves practicing her ballet arms and her curtseys so she has been so excited about starting ballet this year.  Thinking of how to make is special, we traveled to Valdosta to get Katherine's first ballet shoes fitted by Mrs. Carol who fit my first ballet shoes.  So here are some  pictures of my tiny dancer

I love this girl!  Just hanging like a monkey from the barre
