So much time has passed since I last posted, very busy time! September 15 we added Konstantine to our family. Abby has been a very good big sister, being gentle with him and loving on him from day one. Only occasionally does she try to hit his head and that lets me know that she just wants some more “Mom” time 
At 16 months, she is the crazy little child, a constant bundle of energy going, going, going. She opens all the drawers in the kitchen and then closes them again and again. She discovered that there is a light in the oven and turns it off and on and off and on again, and again. She also knows “Hot” and says it again and again if I am using the oven. She notices every airplane that flies overhead points to it and tries to say airplane! She loves all the flowers growing outside and we come back from our walks with her hands just loaded down with flowers. When we go past the bushes she reaches our her hands and begs for them and I just can’t deny her that! She loves playing with small sticks and rocks and sticks them into any small space that she can see. Whether it be a panel on the floor covering gas valves or whatever they may be hiding.
When we brought the baby home, she ran out to meet us and just jumped into my arms and held me tight. I had missed her so much and couldn’t wait to get home to see her again. She was curious about the baby and tried to kiss him and touch him. She kept climbing up into my chair as I was feeding the baby and just watching him like she might want to try breastfeeding as well. Her form of hugging him is laying on top of him but she has done so good with him and we are so proud of both of them.
