Some highlights from Abby's 5th birthday...
When asked by her Dad how old she was, the Little Moon replied:
"I'm five, but I feel like I'm seven"
Abby's Pump It Up party pics:

Here's a clip from a birthday celebration at "La Tapatia"
unfortunately, mom couldn't quite get the camera set to video quick enough
and she only got the tail end of it! But - almost the entire staff at The Tap
came over and sang along with the mariachi guitar player guy. Abby was
quite surprised and enjoyed the free flan.

I think she was doing it before, but Abby is officially reading now!
Tonight, before bedtime she read to us (as opposed to the other way around) 3 books from a phonics bundle that we have.
Here are the contents of the 3 books:
Book 1 - "Cat"
Cat.
Rat.
Cat can tap Rat.
Cat ran.
Rat ran Cat ran
WAP!
Rat sat on Cat.
Book 2 - "Rag"
Rag.
Sad Rag.
Rag and Cat.
Rat and Rag and Cat.
Rat can pat Rag.
Cat can pat Rag.
Wag, wag, wag!
Book 3 - "Pig Wig"
Pig Wig.
Cat.
Pig Wig and Cat.
Cat sat on the hat!
Pig Wig is sad.
Cat had a cap.
The cap fit Pig Wig!
With the exception of "the" and "is" - she sounded out and read all the words in those 3 books!
The best part is when she would have some trouble sounding something out....we would let her work through it. When she got it right Mike and I would get excited, but she was the most excited of all! She does this fist pumping in the air ala Tiger Woods....it's hilarious to see, but you know that she's so proud of herself for getting the word right.
The days of Mike and I spelling out our words to conceal is O-V-E-R....

The buzz around Club Amaro is the purchase of the new "booster" seat. Mom & Dad love the seat because it just uses a regular seat belt AND it doesn't have to be latched in 14 different ways into the car....you just set it in and buckle up. Abby wants to show everyone the seat...sometimes people who may not care as much about it as we all do.
With the ease of the seat brings new adventures. THE TRUCK! Fortunately, Mike is able to turn off his passenger side airbag - so, we had the bright idea of taking Abby for a ride in the truck. Man, you would have thought that the Madagascar people had come over to play....the excitement was unparalleled! Anyway - Mom couldn't quite get the camera fast enough for the initial take off, but was at the ready when the truck pulled up.
Oh, the simple things in life...
