Abigail's 1st Birthday!

On December 12, we celebrated Abigail's 1st birthday. It's hard to believe that she is already one. It seems like only a few months ago that I was hearing her cry for the first time in the operating room, and now she is walking and talking. What a joyous journey this 1st year has been with Abigail!

We have a tradition in the Propes house that one has to be sick on the first birthday. Dawson started the tradition when he had 104 degree fever on his first birthday, which led to his first and only trip to the ER. Well, Abigail has never been one to disappoint, so on her birthday she, too, woke up with a fever and cold symptoms. No trip to the ER, but still she wasn't her normal, happy self.

Despite feeling a little under the weather, she still had a great birthday! We had two birthday celebrations. One on her actual birthday with just me, Kevin and Dawson, and the second on December 13 with extended family. I made her birthday cake...with help from my trusted sidekick Dawson...and it was actually quite yummy.
