Summer Days
While everyone in social media land is busy talking about fall and back to school, we are still here relishing and savoring every bit of summer! The sun, water, heat, swimsuits, sunscreen and more is where it is AT. We still have a beach vacation ahead of us and don’t start school until after labor day, so summer summer summer time it is.
Abigail outgrew last year’s swimsuits, so we picked a few new ones out together online and she is one happy lady. When her first swimsuit arrived she declared, “Oh Mommy! I have always DREAMED of having an all purple swimsuit!”
I picked up this $9 kiddie pool recently when I was grocery shopping at Walmart and it has turned out to be about one of the best investments I’ve made this year!
While we play, Mabel hangs out in her Rock N Play under the fan on the back patio. Pretty great gig for the littlest.
Fournager? Is that what you call your sassy 4 year olds? Let me know.
On really lucky days, Abigail is able to snag Daddy as soon as he walks in from work and get him out into the pool with her. He gets her under water, splashing like crazy, and all around having way more fun than Mom ever does.
And of course, the runner up to ridiculous baby items that I absolutely can not resist(first place goes to baby shoes) goes to baby swimsuits. She isn’t even going to swim but LOOK AT HER. Oh my word.
Posed for one picture and then off to sleep on a pile of beach towels. Atta girl!
Continuing with super fun summer things, last week started this year’s swim lessons! They have gone so, so, so much better than last year! I can’t believe how much she still remembers, so she really is just building upon the things she learned last summer. She has been crazy brave, fetching toys from under water, floating on her back, jumping off the side, pushing off the walls. I’m super proud of her!
And obviously, she’s pretty proud of her herself.
(She also might know that if she does super duper good she can have a grape slush on the way home. What can I say.)
This summer has been about the greatest ever. Having a summer baby is so much fun, having a 4 year old who loves the water is so much fun, and having a beach vacation at the end of the month looming ahead is so much fun too. Bring it summer! We’re loving you!
Love these pics of Abigail – she is too cute! And of course so is Mabel!!! Xo
Abigail's sass is where it's at. Her little hip poses and that purple swimsuit are too cute! And why is it that Daddy is always so much more fun than Mommy? It's the same way in our house, lol!
Vivian, Mabel and Avalon all have that sweet little mint flamingo swimsuit and white eyelet sun hats – too bad we can't get all three of them together for a beyond-ridiculously-precious photo:) I am so sad that Vivi will be outgrowing that sweet little suit soon. Can't they just stay little forever???
Love all this Abigail pics; girl is photogenic!!! Liam has his first legit swim lesson yesterday and he refused to get in the pool! Should be an interesting two weeks for us. He'll jump off my parents boat & go to the water park no problem… But lessons…. No way!
That purple suit IS dreamy. 🙂 And Abigail rocks it.
Love that Jim jumps in the pool and splashes around, too.
Way to go, Abigail, on crushing swim lessons. Grape slushies are totally worth it.
And, holy smokes, baby girl swim suits? Dying, just DYING over how adorable Mabel is.
Goodness, that purple suit is a dream! Im still in Summer mode to, nothing wrong with that!
I am just in love with this post. Summer forever!! Your babies are just adorable. This is EXACTLY how I imagine life with kids will be during the summer, which is exactly why I am planning IVF for a summer baby!! yay!
ahhh I love that 'fournager' photo of Abigail. She looks so sassy! All the swimsuits are adorable and I kind of want Mabel's for myself (I shall settle for making my future child wear it).
What a great summer! Daddies are always so much cooler than us boring ole mamas. 😉
I've said it before, but that Abigail's personality just shines in your pictures!
Do you know where you can get Abigails swimsuit in adult sizes? If so hit me up! I wish Summer was still in full force in the u.k but nope rain all day everyday! I love everything about Summer and the u.k has not given us one this year!
Mabel looks adorable in her swimsuit it is something about babies in swimsuits, I am with her napping is my forte too!
Abigail is so cute and sassy! Love it! And I'm super jealous of all of her adorable swimsuits! 😉
Love all the pictures! The sass reminds me sooo much of Lily. What is it with the daddies setting such a high bar for the most fun parent?! 😉
If Mabel doesn't make you wanna have a baby, nothing well!
And A, the personality is jumping off the screen. Girls are fun, aren't they?
That girl and her swimsuits!!! Seriously all the heart eyes! Little girls have the CUTEST swim suits! I die!
That suit is just the best. Glad it's everything she dreamed of!
We have the same baby pool… and are relishing every moment of summer… I mean it is over 100 heat index here and school starts back today. What gives? And all I know is it is not time to start talking pumpkin spice (even though I love it:)!
These could not be cuter pictures, Abigail's personality shines through them – she seems so fun as do your Summer days!
Both your precious girls look absolutely adorable in their swimsuits!
Yay for summer fun and purple swim suits!!
