Mote Marine Aquarium

Today, we headed to one of mommy's favorite spots here in Florida, Mote Marine Aquarium! We weren't too sure that Abs would get a whole lot out of the experience since she's still so young, but she seemed to really enjoy herself. She was completely fascinated by the different animals swimming by her and especially loved the sting ray and shark tank. The little, colorful fish were also interesting to her as well and she just would sit and stare at the tanks, not quite sure what to make of the animals behind the glass.

 This manatee was huge!

Stare down with the sea turtle. 

This was probably her favorite one, she kept laughing at it.

 We found Nemo and Dory!

 We spent about thirty minutes at this tank because she couldn't get enough of it!

More adventures tomorrow!

Beach Baby

Today, we woke up at about 4:30 am to fly to Florida. Abby was such a trooper on the flight and slept the whole way. We made it to Florida at about 10:30 and met Pop & Mumzie. As soon as we made it to the condo, Abs put on her suit to go down to the pool & beach for the first time. She loved the suit and cover-up that Pop & Mumzie got her and looked so adorable in them. Abby was a huge fan of the pool and floated around until her little heart was content.  Next we took the Abs down to the beach.  She was mesmerized by the waves crashing on the beach and even got to play in the waves for a little while.  The only thing she didn't like about the beach was all the shells, they hurt her little tootsies. Mommy & daddy are going to have to find some water socks for her.

Much love,

Cleveland Rocks (well, Akron) OHIO!

 

This weekend we headed up to Akron, Ohio to see Uncle Sergio graduate with his law degree. We were so proud of him and happy to be with him to celebrate such a great accomplishment. We arrived in Cleveland on Friday and met up with everyone to spend some great family time together. On Saturday, we all piled into the car and drove to see Niagara Falls. Let us tell you, it was absolutely beautiful. Abby had such a great time. She loved the wind that blew up from the falls and would dance in our arms with every gust of wind.

While everyone went down in the boats to see the falls up close, grandma, mommy, daddy & Abby stayed up and played in the park. She loved crawling all over the park. Grandma and Abby went walking all over the park and chased the seagulls together. 

Abby even met a group of Japanese tourists who wanted to take pictures with her. They were completely into Abby!

On Sunday, we attended Sergio's graduation and celebration dinner. We had such a wonderful time celebrating with uncle Sergio and were very sad to say goodbye. We woke up early on Monday morning to fly to visit Pop & Mumzie in Florida!

Much Love,

I.C. Spring Festival

This weekend we went to Abby's first festival at I.C., one of the churches here in town. It's an annual tradition and has lots of games, food and music. There weren't a whole lot of games for Abs to play, but she did get to go "fishing" for a rubber ducky. Once she fished one out of the pond she got to pick her prize and was so excited with her pink ducky!

Abby blowing kisses bye bye

Maroon & White

This weekend was daddy, mommy and Abby's first maroon & white game ever! We were super excited to head to College Station to spend some time with Grandma and Samuel. Uncle Saul even surprised us with a visit. Abby loved spending so much time with Grandma and her uncles. They even got to have slumber parties! On Saturday, we headed to Kyle field a little early to get a good seat since the game was general admission. Abby was completely mesmerized by all the people and loved when everyone started clapping. Since it was rather hot, we ended up leaving fairly early. At least Abs has been broken in to the Aggie traditions.

10 Months Old!!

Abby is 10 months old! Only 2 more months before she's a whole year old. We probably sound like a broken record, but time is flying! She is super duper mobile, loves crawling, loves cruising and loves to explore everything. She's been practicing blowing kisses to  us, but hasn't quite perfected it. She also only likes to feed herself now, she doesn't let mommy and daddy feed her anymore. Such a big girl, she wants to do it all on her own.

Cruising

Abby is on the move and she is loving it. We got her this stand up walker over the weekend but we didn't think she was quite ready for it. Abby had other plans in mind and kept trying to push it forward even while it was in the locked position. It just goes to show you that kiddos will move on their own pace and when they're ready. As soon as Daddy hit the unlock on the walker, Mommy nervously videoed and this was the result!
