Giggles and Grins

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Last week Abby went on her first trip to the zoo. We pretend to be animals a lot at home and Abby has all their sounds down so it was fun to see her reaction to the real things. Abby loves to take a spin on any ride she spots and she knows who to ask. GiGi and PawPaw can't say no. I thought monkeys or elephants would be her favorite, but any kind of deer won the prize. While checking out the african animals, all we heard was "deer, deer."Abby was speechless looking at most of the animals. She soaked it all in. You could see the wheels turning in that little head of hers.

I was actually in some pictures this time. I am usually snapping the pics, but GiGi took a turn and got me with the girls this time.

Caroline was a happy camper! She is content everywhere we drag her.

"Look! A Giraffe." Abby pointed to every new animal she saw.

Eyes as big as saucers.

Gig'em Aggies!

Caroline-"Could you scoot a little closer please?"

"That's more like it."

"A little closer . . ."

The Gaylord Texan

We took Abby and Caroline to the Gaylord Texan for the invitation pictures. I wanted a setting with lots of plants, etc . . The little birthday girl to be did not cooperate with her hat. We will have to try again another time. Here she is trying to climb the fence and saw Varsity's horns off. We had a great time walking around. She loved the miniature trains.

While these are funny, they are not quite what I was looking for to put on the invite.

Temper Tantrum!

Abby has learned how to throw an all out tantrum. She is going to have a safari party for her birthday and this was an attempt for me to get a picture in her safari halloween costume for her invitation. Yes, she goes all out. Kicking and screaming are a must to get her point across.

Playtime

Caroline likes Nonnie's new exersaucer.

We get big smiles when Abby moves the toys on it for her.

Abby's favorite thing to do is push her around it. Caroline is in for the ride of her life!

Abby has graduated to a motorcycle. She outgrew the little car. She has made progress with steering but has some work to do on the pedaling. This girl loves a new challenge!

Cutest Little Sailors

I couldn't resist taking some pics of my two little sailors last week at church. Abby was distracted and we couldn't get one of her looking at the camera. Bummer.We have gotten the church routine down with our newest addition to the family. Abby is doing great in the nursery. No more tears. Brent and I take turns in the cry room with Caroline so one of us gets to hear the sermon without baby noise every other week.
