A Little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That

Hello friends and family. The weather here feels like summer rather than spring. I have learned that the more Abby is out in the fresh air the better she sleeps. So we've been taking a lot of walks at the park and doing one of her favorite things...swinging. By the time I round the last turn of the loop at our local park Abby is usually snoozing. Today it took two loops...boy was I tired. Here is a picture of Abby after our first long walk at the park.

Also, her Gigi (Josh's mom) had given her a swing in her Easter basket. So we've been doing some swinging at home in our back yard. I was able to hook it up to our Bradford tree. I don't know how much longer that will last but we are taking full advantage of our own swingset at home.

We also tried out the baby pool that Pa pa (my dad) had given her. It was so cold that we only put our feet in there but I took a picture of her in her surfer bathing suit. I wanted to make sure that she was safe from the sun so she's practically covered head to toe :)

And the big news...today I spotted a little bit of white coming through her gums! All this crankiness and fussing is paying off I suppose. She has been abnormally grumpy lately and we guessed it was teething but today I finally caught a glimpse of her pearly white tooth!! Yeah!! One down too many more to go!!

Last but not least the Lile family has grown this past week. On Tuesday April 6th Josh's sister Jessica gave birth to her healthy baby boy Elijah. He came into this world at 8 pounds and 13 ounces at 20 inches! I was able to hold him for about an hour Thursday afternoon. I cannot remember Abby being so small or so quiet haha! He is absolutely adorable and we are so happy for Jessica and Travis. Abby can't wait to meet her brand new cousin or for him to get big enough to play with her!

We hope that everyone is in great health and spirits. Tomorrow is Josh's 29th birthday and he's off. So us girls are taking daddy to the zoo for the day with our friends The Jenkens'. We will be sure to take pictures and post! We love you all and hope to hear from you soon!!

Josh, Kristen and Abby
