5 years ago today...(and my 100th post!)

I was in the hospital in labor with Abbie! It was a week after my due date so I had to be induced and after 24 hours, she was finally born at 9:01 pm on Sep. 16, 2004. Abbie weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 21 inches long. Here's one of the first pictures we have of her, just minutes after her birth:

And today, 5th birthday:
We'll be having a big princess party with friends for her in a few days but for today, she wanted to put a candle in her bagel for breakfast. So smart! I can't believe how fast the past 5 years have gone and how big my little girl is getting. Before I know it, she'll be having babies of her own!

Yikes "GRANDMA" don't jump ahead too fast! hee hee Abbie is adorable--I love the candle in her bagel. I also love seeing all the pics from the past, it's awesome to watch them grow up in about one second, atleast time doesn't go THAT fast! :)

Happy Birthday Abbie! I can't believe it's been 4 years since her first b-day party! Time goes by so fast. I remember her first experience with cake, that was so funny.

Sweet Abbie! That is such a great post. It is fun to follow her through the years. We miss you guys! She was so fun to babysit and so fun to teach in preschool.
