Now I Know My ABCs

I'm a first time mom so I don't really know what the average age for kids to start doing things is, but today Abby has been singing the entire alphabet song completely on her own and including every single letter. She's still two months away from turning 3 and I think it is pretty freaking AWESOME!!! ‪#‎proudmommy‬ ‪#‎thatisall‬ ‪#‎thanksforlettingmebrag‬

Our View Outside Our Door

Day 2: Our view outside our door. Our backyard isn't huge, but it's a good size for us. We have a peach tree, a plum tree, two pear trees, a Chinese pistachee, a vegetable garden, an herb garden, and ornamental bushes and such. I love growing our own fruits and vegetables, they taste so much better than store bought and I feel safer eating them (but I still buy tons from the store). We have a decent size lawn all the way around our house, enough space for our dog Penny to get a little exercise (although she gets most of her exercise from us taking her on walks/runs twice a day). We have great neighbors. My favorite view looking out my door is watching Abby play in the yard! She loves being outside! When she was a colicy infant sometimes the only way I could get her to calm down was to set her outside. She needs outside time every day. In the summer she likes to play in her pool. We have a little play house with a slide that keeps her occupied. She loves to help with yard work and throw sticks for Penny. I love seeing her sidewalk chalk drawings in the patio. It's so fun to have a little girl fill our yard with joy! ‪#‎hopingtoadopt60days‬ ‪#‎hopingtoadopt‬‪ #‎choosingadoption‬ ‪#‎adoptionrocks‬ ‪#‎adoption‬ ‪#‎openadoption‬ ‪#‎thankheavensforlittlegirls‬ ‪#‎Day2‬ ‪#‎Abbysthebest‬
