Today is my cousin Colby's 6th birthday! He and I have always been close - in fact, I think that he followed me around more closely than Robby on my wedding day! Right after the ceremony he stuck to me like glue and is in several of the pictures. Naturally, he adores Abigail. Abigail was invited to his birthday party, so of course we went. :)
We drove to Tyler last night, and even though we got here a little before 10 pm, my mom and dad's house was buzzing with guests! Abigail received plenty of attention. We were a little worried at how she'd react since it was late for her and she was sleeping in the car. Most of the time, when we first get to Tyler, she is a little "grump-a-moose" (as Robby calls her). I guess her 'diva' side took over, because she was perfectly pleasant getting all that attention.
Colby was so precious when he saw Abby; he had to be the first one to hold her - other than Nani and Papa, of course - and he was very protective when others wanted a turn. ("Watch her head, guys." "Be careful with her. She's just a baby." "Don't let her fall over!") He was also very proud of her when he found out she could sit up. He is so gentle and loving with her. I know that they'll be good friends!
This morning was Colby's birthday party at the bowling alley. Good times!

Perfect Form
Nani helped Abby pick out her ball.
Ready to bowl!
"Bowling" The ball would roll down that little cutout and we'd roll it back to her to push again. She loved it!
More attention. 
She loves to party! Her favorite thing was to watch all the other children. She was fascinated!
