Red Clovers of Arkansas

Since we took pictures of Abs in the Blue Bonnets of Texas it only seemed fitting that we needed to get pictures of her in the Red Clovers here in Arkansas. Jennifer's grandfather loved the red clovers and always said they were a favorite of his cattle during the springtime. So these pictures are for him.

Gig 'Em Rick!

Tonight we got the pleasure of attending the annual Lincoln Day dinner in Fort Smith. This year's guest speaker was Rick Perry. Moises was super excited to see fellow Aggie and current Texas govenor up close and personal. We even got to speak with him for a few minutes before the event to discuss Aggie football and their brilliant move to the SEC. Mr. Perry was very nice and excited to see another Aggie in Razorback land. We had such a great evening and got to see lots of great people!

Abby had a great evening too! Her date for the night was her Uncle Eric, who was sweet enough to come over and watch Abs while mommy & daddy were out for the evening. Abby said she had a great time with her Uncle Eric and can't wait to see him again. Thank you Eric! We love you!

Much Love,

Moises & Jennifer

Another one off the menu!

Well, we can mark another food item off Abby's menu. The culprit this time was egglant. The picture says it all. We got the call from school that whatever mommy put in her school bag for lunch was not agreeing with sweet Abby's face and they sent over this picture! Yikes...definitely taking eggplant off the menu. Fortunately, the rash was mostly gone by the end of the day, so she was back to her normal self by evening.

Much love,

Abby's First Easter

This past weekend at Casa Ledezma was again filled with firsts.  Abigail experienced her first Easter and was able to enjoy it with two of her cousins.  Cousins Ella and Scarlett made the trip from Houston to spend some time playing and having a good time.  Abigail had her first play time with Ella with big girl toys.  Abigail even tried bringing Scarlett in on the fun, however Scarlett had other ideas in mind (visual description below).  Something tells us that next Easter promises to be an exciting time for these three.

Play Time

 Come on Scarlett, lets play.

Timid steps

Our sweet punky continues to take steps towards independence and now she's literally trying to take steps on her own. She's been walking around objects and even stands alone for a couple seconds at a time. Now, she's trying to walk between objects. Daddy snapped these pictures of her playing on her chaise lounge when all of a sudden she tried to walk over to her toy box.

"Daddy, I'm going to try something here..."

"Well, that didn't turn out like I planned..."

After all that, Abby needed a quick snack to get her energy back up...

 

Abby just hamming it up for the camera.

Blue Bonnets of Texas

Well, it's Blue Bonnet season in Texas. It's one of our favorite times of year because the beautiful blue/purple blooms can be seen everywhere. Mommy has been dying to get photos of Abs amongst the blooms and we finally did this morning. The ground was still wet with dew and we didn't put Abby on a blanket so she wasn't super thrilled with that. She was so into looking at the flowers that it was difficult for us to get her to look at the camera, much less smile. Fortunately, she's such a cutie that it doesn't even matter.

Much love,

Moises & Jennifer

9 Months

 Abs is 9 months old! Mommy says she's finally been outside mommy's tummy longer then she was in! We went to the doctor today and got a great report. Fortunately, Abby didn't have to get any shots, but she did get her finger pricked to test for anemia and lead poisioning. She weighed in at 18 pounds and was 27.9 inches long, which puts her in the 40th and 68th percentiles respectively.

Abby has started sharing with us. She'll be playing with a toy or drinking her bottle, will stop, look us in the eye and hand the object to us. So sweet! This week she's also started being really mobile. She's is all over, rolling, scooting, crawling. It's hilarious, but makes for an interesting dress time. We are back in Texas this week and next. Her teachers at school said she just started playing with all her friends right away, like she'd never been gone. This weekend, we're going to try to get out and take pictures of little punky in the beautiful blue bonnets of Texas.


Much love,
Moises & Jennifer
