1st Trip to the Zoo!

We went to visit Nana & Papa last week and Nana decided to take us to the zoo! This would be Abigail's 1st trip to the zoo so we were really excited! We got up early because we knew it was going to be very hot and wanted to go before it got too hot. We had to go during baby girl's nap time, but she was a trooper for most of it! :) We went to the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco. I have never been there before but it was nice and small. We were very impressed with everything they had and we'll definitely be back! Abigail had a lot of fun and got to see lots of animals. She got a little fussy at the end, but had a blast!

 All ready to go!

 This seemed to be a common theme at the zoo! Everyone was taking a snooze!

 I love that face she's making! It looks like she saw something absolutely terrifying! However, I'm pretty sure it was just a little fish. Haha!

 I'm not sure who had more fun..Bryan or Abigail! ;)

 Of course we had to get a shot of Abigail and the leopards! ;) Go Lorena!

 Cobra snake anyone?!

 Looking at the giraffes with Daddy!

 So pretty!

 My whole world!

I didn't know this, but my mom told me that this was a sycamore tree. She said we had to take a picture of Abigail sitting under the tree so when she grew up and heard the Bible story of Zacchaeus she would know what a sycamore tree looked like! We had a great time at the zoo. Thanks for taking us Nana! 

4th of July 2013!

We celebrated the 4th of July with our friends the Jones family! We went over to Amanda's mom's house around lunch and had burgers and swam in their pool. Abigail loved it! She's such a water baby!

 She also had her first "hamburger" and ate a whole beef patty, along with lots of other stuff! I couldn't believe it! We went home that afternoon and took a nap and rested before going back over to Amanda's house. We played outside on the swing and had yummy pulled pork for dinner. Abigail had fun just crawling on the grass and investigating everything!

It was getting dark and time for fireworks so we got everything ready.

We sat outside and Amanda's neighbors had already starting shooting off some roman candles. Abigail really isn't afraid of much, but unfortunately, we found out that she's definitely afraid of fireworks! :( Anytime she heard one go off, she grabbed me and started crying. We didn't know if she was really afraid of them or if it was a combination of her not having her normal naps that day and it being way past her bed time! We decided to stick it out and she got a little better. Abigail fell asleep on me for a while and then woke up later when we decided to go home. Poor baby..she was a trooper though! Overall, we had a really great time. Abigail definitely had fun because she slept in the next morning until almost 10:00! Bryan and I couldn't believe it! Hopefully next year she'll enjoy the fireworks a little bit more! ;) Here's a picture of last 4th of July and this year. How things have changed! Can't wait until next year! :)

Abigail Videos

I thought I'd update some videos that I've taken of Abigail recently that are my favorites! She's such a little stinker! Love you baby girl!

In this video, Mommy accidentally left the tissue box to close to her reach. It's true when they say if you don't hear anything coming from your child, it normally means trouble! Thank goodness it wasn't so bad this time! I walked around the corner of my bed and found this! Ha!

This is this video of the first time Abigail walked by herself! She did it right in front of my eyes, and thankfully I was able to grab my phone and get it on video the second time! P.S. Please excuse the mess in the background. Someone was playing in Mommy's drawers and making a big mess!

This is from when we went to Shreveport and stopped by Gram's and Pop's gym. Daddy got out a special trampoline that was just Abigail's size and she LOVED it!
