Abbey hadn't shown a preference really for a certain character or theme, so we decided to have the amazing artist at Cakes Galore draw two of Abbey's favorite animals (she loves stuffed animals) on it. Her girl monkey I got her after she was born and her Lotso bear from Aunt Carolyn (so named by her Daddy from Toy Story 3). It was so cute...and soooo Abbey.
She was kind of irritable when we sat her in her Daddy's lap and sang to her... but Adam was all into it.
Then she was still grumpy and not impressed enough to try her cake...until her Grandma gave her taste. Then she was all in!
I thought I'd have some fun with her and let her feed me cake...she REALLY got into this!!
Then she kissed me and this picture Tammy took just melts my heart!
Afterwards, Bobby told me I was nuts and I told him....it's something Dad would do. And he was always making us laugh and bringing the lighter side to our family. Dad would have loved to see this moment. My comfort is as Abbey's personality grows, I see him so much in her. She is light hearted and happy a lot...something I'm assuming she got from him :)

Yes, I do think your dad would have really loved seeing you get cake all over your face with Abbey. It is nice to let go a little.
