Abigail's First New Year's, Florida, and 3 month birthday

I do not like this bikini one bit Mom and Dad!!

Finally home and now I am 3 months old!!

Getting ready to take a nice swim in the bathtub with Mom.

As if she had not had enough time on a plane, GGma and GGpa got this great plane for her to play in while she was visiting them.

We spent a few days at Dennis and Becky's, with their giant lap dog Buster

Ready to boogie on New Year's Eve with GGma and GGpa in Briny Breezes!!

Abigail's very first time at the beach with Mom and Dad on January 31st

Waiting in the airport to go to Florida for her first time.

So as if Christmas was not enough, the O'Neill's packed up for Florida on January 30th. It was Abigail's very first plane ride and her first big trip. She did absolutely fabulous and just sat on Mom's lap and talked to her and Dad the entire four hour plane ride. Not even one cry escaped her beautiful mouth. Then it was off to GGma and GGpa's for New Year's Eve in Briny Breezes. That was a blast and there was a little party planned so Abbie could meet all of her Briny grandparents. Everyone thought she was adorable (of course) and she was the life of the party. That was also the day that Mom and Dad took her to the beach for the very first time. She slept through most of it and then played in the sand a bit. Abigail hated the bikini she had received for Christmas so we only got one picture of her in it, screaming to get it off. She loved the sound of the ocean though, and now she listens to the waves on a sound machine as she goes to sleep.


Then on New Year's day the O'Neill's made the four and a half hour drive up to Micanopy to see the O'Neill grandparents. It was Dennis' first time meeting Abigail and while he was a bit unsure at first, her sweet face melted him and they loved each other right away. We hung out there for three days and watched entirely way too much football for one household. Abigail received some very cute clothes and even a Harley Davidson teddy bear!! Overall it was very nice and we hope to see the Southern O'Neill's out west in Colorado in the next few months.

It was then back to Briny Breezes for some much needed rest and relaxation. Abigail very much enjoyed hanging out with her GGma and GGpa. She particularly took a liking to her GGpa and he was able to lull her to sleep. This was also the first time she had slept in a playpen and she did fabulous. Now when she is home she is sleeping in her crib and we are making progress on this. It was extremely cold our entire trip, like 30's to 40's, so we were not able to make it to the beach. But we hung out and just enjoyed being a family. We ate good food and had awesome company!! The trip home went easy as pie as well and Abigail slept most of the way home and was a complete angel. We can hardly wait for our next adventure!!

Abigail's First Christmas

Christmas Eve and waiting for Santa!!

Abigail on Christmas Day. She is worn out!!

Abigail had a fabulous first Christmas. She received a bunch of books and some gorgeous clothes from her grandparents and aunts and uncles. The week started out with an all out family feast at Grandma Diana's and Rolando's. Quibian and his family, Ariel, Dorian, and Alyria and her family were all there with all of their kiddos. It was pretty hectic!! Then the next day was Christmas Eve so the day was spent with the DeCew grandparents' opening presents and eating. Abigail received the sweetest porcelain shoe Christmas tree ornament for her first Christmas. She basically slept through most of it, as she was beat from all of the commotion the night before at Grandma Diana's. Then on Christmas morning Abigail spent the day first opening presents with her mom and dad. Not only was it Abbie's first Christmas, but it was also the O'Neill's first Christmas in their new house. It was wonderful!! Shawn can hardly wait to play Santa in the coming years and even discussed the logistics such as the fact that he wants Abigail to leave him ice cream and chocolate milk!! Then we packed up for the day to go to Grandma Diana's and Rolando's for Christmas brunch and more presents with Uncle Bert and Aunt Kat!! Next it was off to the DeCew grandparents' house for our stockings (Abigail got her very own with her name on it and it is pink and everything!!) and Christmas dinner. Needless to say the O'Neill's were very tired at the end of Christmas Day!! Now we are just getting ready to go to Florida for New Years!!.
