All about the smooch...

I'm going to eat your face off Cookie Monster!

Abby's limitless kisses help to calm the savage beasts...

Before the princes' arrival, Princess Abigail had the attention of the entire kingdom basically 24x7. Since they've arrived, things have really changed. Other parents warned us that Abby may turn mean or fall back in her development given the attention poured onto our newborns. We fret every minute that our time was diverted--wondering what kind of damage we may be doing to our precious little girl. As the first 10 weeks have passed, we've found that Abby does not take issue (well, not too much nor too often...) with the fact that attention is less. She occupies herself with books, puzzles and fridge games, and when frustrated, 'takes a bit out of cookie!' yes, Cookie monster was received as a gift from family friends The Thomsons and Abby's first mission was to treat him as he treats cookies. We captured it with the camera. outside of her obvious aggression towards Cookie, Princess Abigail shows much affection for her brothers Alec and Aramis---always kissing them, patting their heads and legs in an attempt to soothe them. It's really quite endearing. We're fortunate that she's so good with them and that she's become an active big sister--supporting their developmental milestones as they work on tracking, tummy time/neck strength and cooing. :) The castle is becoming more peaceful as the twins sleep a little more through the evening--making the days much nicer for the King and Queen. Let's hope this trend continues--for the sake of all of us in the kingdom!
