My sweet little Abby Kate (who from birth was affectionately named "Abby Cakes" by her big sissies who were 2 & 4 when Abby was born!) turned SIX years old today! Six years ago today, January 21st at 4:33 PM my precious little Abby was born! I now had THREE sweet little girls & I couldn't stop thinking, "how can I possibly be so blessed?! Yet another & just-as-adored baby girl has captured my heart! I GET to have another baby girl!" My precious little newborn weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces & was 19 1/2 inches long! She had very light brown hair (which has turned out to be the blondest of all of our girlies!), beautiful little blue eyes, the adorable little Palmer button nose & cute little dimples! I love the fact that all of our girls look so much alike when they are born! I love hearing, "yep, she's a Palmer, alright!" : ) It makes me smile! My sweet little Abby baby definitely looked like her 2 big sissies! I still remember those sweet & overwhelming emotions of holding my little Abby for the first time! Even though I had done it twice before, it was just as precious, just as special & just as amazing to me all over again! The moment they put my Abby on my chest, I could hardly believe that God had chosen to bless me.......again.......with one of the most passionate desires of my heart, being a Mommy! My heart was overflowing with such amazing & deep love for my sweet Abby, my 3rd precious baby girl! I LOVE being the Mommy of my little girls! I am SO grateful!!!!!!!!!! As part of Abby's birthday gift, we went on a date to Target, the Dollar Store & Starbucks the week of her birthday! As I sat across from my Abby watching her so cutely dip her little carrots in her dip at Target, I was just amazed at how my Abby is growing up! We laughed SO much & SO hard about pretty much everything! She was just so much fun to be with! For some reason, my girlies always seem "little" when they are 5 & under, like "preschool" age still but all of a sudden when they turn 6 they just seem to grow & change so much! She's my little girlfriend & we really talked about how she feels about things & what she thinks about & how she views God & our family.......really amazing stuff like that! Me.......& my little SIX year old........wow! It was such a sweet but emotional day for me! Although my little Abby really is still so little & she still "needs" Mommy, she is becoming such a big girl & amazes me all the time with what she can do! She loves to serve Daddy, Mommy & her 4 sissies! Abby is an amazing helper to Mommy! One of the things I love the most about my Abby is that she is so sweet, lovable & tender! She is very mild natured but knows exactly what she likes! As a toddler, she could decide way before her big sissies if we gave her a choice on something! She is very decisive which is a skill her Mommy & 2 big sissies are still learning! : ) Abby is also very "tough"! We have called her our "tiny tuff stuff" since she was a baby because she was & still is super petite but she's always been very brave & adventurous! When she was about 3 years old she tumbled down the stairs & before I could even run to scoop her up she, literally, bounced up & said, "I'm OOOOOOOkay!" It was SO cute! : ) Whenever there is "bug drama" in our home, she has always been the first to volunteer to pick it up & throw it away! Even as a toddler she would run, grab a tissue, run right over to the bug (who dared to come into our home! Ha!) That still amazes me! Abby also loves to care for her baby sissies! She loves to "read" to, have tea parties & cuddle with Ava & she loves snuggling with her new baby Anibella! She just carries her around so sweetly & does an amazing job with her! She loves her big sissies & although she still lets them take care of her, she has become more of a buddy now than their "baby sissy". Abby enjoys her new "big girl" status VERY much! : ) I'm just so grateful for my sweet little Abby & I am amazingly blessed I am to be my Abby's Mommy, to be her friend, to have her in my life everyday, to watch how she loves & serves her sisters, to watch her grow in her relationship with God & to watch her growing everyday into an amazing little girl who is learning to glorify God & bless her Daddy & Mommy! Wow, this precious little girl is MINE! I love my sweet little girl SO much & I am SO grateful to God for my Abby! Happy 6th Birthday my Abby Kate! Daddy, Mommy & your 4 sissies love you with ALL of our hearts!
