Sunday Snapshot: Is this a good tree?
 |
| Abigail was being silly. She picked out this tree for us to cut down at the Christmas Tree farm to take home for our tree this year. She finds herself to be hilarious. Larry and I can't disagree. She cracks us up!! |

Sunday Snapshot: My Kiddo LOVES Horses
 |
| After her pony ride, the man tried to get her off and she said "I am not done yet." So he gave her another trip around the loop. She said "thank you." |
 |
| Fearless around animals, she put this goat into a headlock to try to get him to eat from her hand and she reached through all of the bars to pet the horses in the pens too. |
 |
| Abigail just loved the horses, even after her pony ride time was over she just wanted to be with them. |

Sunday Snapshot and the Bieber Eye
For any of you who haven't heard of the "Bieber Eye" yet (a lazy-eye condition, described by optometrist Andrew Hogan, that is caused when hair, in the style of Justin Bieber, is always covering one eye of a person), YES, I am worried that my daughter is at risk for it. But she won't keep pigtails or barrettes in and I don't want to return to the shaved-head look of her orphanage days!Sunday Snapshot and the Bieber Eye

Sunday Snapshot, with stories
This weekend Lar, Abigail and I were visiting my brother Jim and his awesome wife Steph at their home in Virginia while we took care of some rather exciting business.
My parents were also there to babysit Abigail while Lar and I were getting some professional things done. My dad loved "taking my wife and granddaughter out to breakfast" he boasted all day long. His favorite part was when the waitress cleared my dad's finished plate, Abigail gave her the stink eye, wrapped her arms around her plate and pulled it away from the waitress's reach. That is the orphan coming out in her I guess.
Abigail then spent most of the weekend getting loved on by her grandmother and her Aunt Steph. (Lar and I were delighted to essentially have a weekend off, which is rare since we live 500 miles from loving relatives who could care of Abigail so we could have adult conversation and catch up on sleep. It was quite a treat for us. A vacation, really!)
Abigail weighs about as much as a typical American kid half of her age, but she is tall and lanky. Since she is so light, we hadn't turned her car seat around yet, but she spent the 8 hour drive up to NoVA with her knees up to her chin and was clearly uncomfortable. So for the drive home, we graduated her to a forward-facing car seat. She LOVED it. She spent the first hour just looking out the front window and pointing out stuff she saw.

| This is Abigail being dragged around the house on a beanbag. Steph was dragging her. |
 |
| I love her dimples when she is trying not to smile. She is so gorgeous. |

| The big smile on the proud girl finally came out! |

Sunday Snapshot: Chinese New Year
I will try to post a full Chinese New Year entry this week, after we celebrate official Chinese New Year tomorrow at home, but this weekend we attended the festivities of our local Chinese Cultural Association. Abigail cried when we first dressed her, but she eventually stopped being upset (pretty much when she saw the dragon running around the auditorium).
Every time I tried to take a picture of her, she kept going into a sumo-wrestler pose, but I do have a full shot of her walking out of the house. (It isn't really an award-worthy shot or anything, but hey, she's two!)

| I really hated this outfit when Larry picked it out last year in China, but Abigail is so darn cute in anything that it was okay! |
