Cousin Caroline and Abby play

Uncle Trent, Aunt Heather and Caroline came for a visit from California. Abby enjoyed playing with her cousin & we enjoyed watching the girls interact!



We went for a boat-ride & had a picnic at a park on the intracoastal.








Here is a funny shot of the girls in a laundry basket. What fun!!

Abby's 1st birthday party!!

Abby had her first birthday party! As you can see from the cake, we chose a duck theme, as Abby loves ducks. It is one of her "words" right now. We all had a great time. I think we have more pictures from the party than our wedding day, thanks to all the family and friends who took pictures & passed them along!

The cakes........




Here are pictures of Abby as she greets her guests. The cute little boy is Thomas Cole, Donnie & Leslie's son. She was very happy to see her buddy! :)

Abby eats her birthday cake!!! This is not what I expected from my daughter, who does not particularly like sitting in the highchair....








Saying goodbye to guests....





Playing with a balloon after her bed-time. What the heck... it was her birthday, so she can stay up as late as she wants! Ha!

Abby meets Jake!

Abby met "cousin" Jake over the weekend. We had a bunch of family come into town for the big birthday celebration, including my cousin Amy with her two month old baby boy, featured below ;) He is such a sweet little baby.

Abby turns one!

Abby turned one on May 28th! Her actual birthday was pretty low key, as we decided to have her party the following weekend. I decided to take her somewhere new, since it was a special day. We went to Patch Reef Park in Boca Raton. This is such a nice little park! Abby had a great time chasing squirrels around.



She also had fun playing with her ball and frolicking around in her trampoline later in the day. The trampoline was her big birthday present this year; here is a picture and there is video below.



Here is a video of Abby carrying around a big purple ball. The ball is almost as big as she is-- too funny!
