A Fun Day at the Pool

Yesterday Abigael and I joined a friend of mine and her daughter at their neighborhood pool for a swim! It was only Abigael's second time in the pool so I wasn't sure how she was going to take it. The first time we put her in the water, it was too cold and she didn't like it at all. This time though was much better and she had a blast!!
Abigael was so cute splashing in the water. I put her in a little floatie and she was able to smack the water. The water kept slashing onto her face and she looked so confused as to why it was happening :) She also kept kicking her legs in the water trying to swim away! I think we may have a future olympic swimmer on our hands!
The other little girl swimming with us, Kaitlyn, was also in a floatie but hers had enough room to fit both girls, so we sat them together and they were adorable! They looked like future friends with arms around each other. So Cute!!

We'll definitely be going back for more fun during the rest of the summer!!

Trip to the Park!

Today, Abigael and I took a trip to the park to see Grandma Daisy, Aunt Robin, Great Grandma Omi, and Cousin Dylan. She had a great time looking around and watching all of the other kids climb the jungle gyms. We all had lunch there and spent some time walking around. We all had lots of fun. We'll have to go back more in the future.

First steps!!

Well today was a great day! Abigael has been practicing walking with everyone who will give her a hand to hold onto, but today she decided enough was enough and she could do it on her own! She kept fooling me into thinking she was going to sit down and she almost did but this time she stood back up and let go of the chair...here is the clip:


We also had a great July 4th weekend up in Round Rock. Abigael got to hang with her grandparents all weekend and she loved every minute of it. They have a lot more room to crawl around and a pool to swim in. I'm surprised she let us take her home :)
Shane and I went up to Waco on Saturday to she my brother Josh and his family. Michal was having a diaper shower for her little girl on the way, Eliana. She looked beautiful and got more diapers than they could fit in the car (almost!). It was so much fun, I won the "guess what's in the diaper game" and Michal was glad that her belly didn't measure as big as some of the ladies guessed it was ;)

Here are some pictures of Abigael's first July 4th and some of her with her new kicks on!
