Aunt Carol and Grandma Donna both arrived on Saturday, and we had a beautiful day Sunday spent together. We went out to dinner, and enjoyed a nice stroll on the Virginia Beach Oceanfront afterwards enjoying the breeze and no sun! And of course Abby enjoyed the chance to run in the sand, chase the birds, and get wet! Her new adventure is the waves which she is no longer afraid of.....so daddy had to get a bit wet too!
Keeping up with our busy Navy lives....wherever we live :)

30 Weeks......9 or 10 to go....and seriously counting!!
This new baby loves to be up in my ribs and lungs, and then there's Abby who just likes to use my baby bump as a shelf to sit on. The baby is not very amused and kicks in anger I presume, when Abby takes up the little space she has left in my belly!

Norfolk Botanical Gardens Visit
Abby and I went with my friend Julie and her daughters (Emily & Reese) to the Botanical Gardens on Friday. They have this adorable water fountain area for the kids to play in and it was a very hot day! Abby loved letting loose and running around in the water on her own.
Oreo....
The Dora Couch
And Abby didn't understand why the piece wouldn't fit!! I tried to explain, but it was useless, so I just laughed.

Abby talking to herself
I heard Abby in the dining room "talking" to the pictures the other day, and of course when I went to video tape her, she ceased! But I did get a few good looks from her wondering why I was standing behind her! She cracks me up! She loves spending time alone in her playroom "reading" books to herself, and sometimes even scolding her stuffed animals, so we just hear the activity from afar and giggle.
Beach time
Our good Navy friends Scott/Kristen and their son Harrison came down to the area from D.C. to visit her parents her parents for the weekend, so I took Abby up there to visit for a little beach time today! She and Harrison are 8 weeks apart, he's older! They had a great time, and it was Abby's first time venturing into the ocean waves, even though these were quite tame, it was still new for her to let them splash on her willingly. I think being comfortable in the pool was a huge help.

Swimming with friends
We had a momentous swimming occasion yesterday! Abby put on her floatie vest and floatie water wings, and realized that she could swim all by herself in the pool and kick to get anywhere she wanted in the pool, even the deep end! Needless to say, she was pooped after swimming so much and slept GREAT last night!! We had Mike's 2 good Navy friends over (Will/Tracey and Dan/Jessica) who he originally went through training with in Pensacola, and we swam all afternoon (literally!!). Abby swam a few hours, then played in the sand box for a while, then it was back in the pool 'til I pulled her out at 7pm for a bath and bedtime! Then the boys stayed in the pool til 9pm when I picked up some dinner.
