Family Visit!

This last week, my sister, brother-in-law, and niece flew in from Raleigh for a visit. It was so great having them all here! My niece, Abigail, is 6 months old now and so animated and cute. We really bonded and I enjoyed doing all sorts of goofy things to get a laugh or smile out of her.

Here she is attempting to eat my face:

We took Abigail for her very first swim ever. She wasn't too impressed. I think maybe the water was a little cold:

We also visited the Downtown Aquarium. It was FANTASTIC! If you've never been, I highly recommend it.... especially for kids. Abigail loved watching all the fish and talking to them.


We also had a play date with Corinne who is 10 months old. For most of the date the two girls didn't seem too interested in each other, but towards the end they started trying to touch each others faces. It was pretty cute:


Abigail also got some close encounters with our cats. They all got along wonderfully, and Abigail especially enjoyed getting a good hold on Tiger's tail. He jumped away about a half second after this photo was taken:

Here's a video of Abigail enjoying the fish at the aquarium:
