Photo Shoot with MOMMY!

Remember way back when how I said how sad I was that I didn't get any "One year old" Pictures and I took those lame pictures that Brooklyn wouldn't sit still for? Well I tried again today and had some success. I am actually quite proud of myself considering I don't have that great of a camera, I don't have a huge place to take pictures, and that Brooklyn is 16 months now and has much more of an attitude. I guess we can say I take after my mom in the photo taking department. Let me know what you think...

Remember that my camera sucks so if they are a little blurry just deal with it :)

lick the picture below and it will take you to the pictures in a slide show format.

Dirty...

Remember the nice weather we had not too long ago? Where did it go? this snow stuff sucks! Brooklyn and I thoroughly enjoyed the warm weather and can't wait for it to return! We played outside almost all day on one of the warm days (March 20th). Poor Zach was stuck at work most of the time, but ended getting off early so he could play too. I was amazed at some of the stuff I let Brooklyn do like play in the sand box and jump on the trampoline by herself (mind you it is in the ground so she couldn't fall off). We had a blast. I didn't have my camera on me so these are from my phone which explains the quality..

I think the sand was her favorite because she kept going back to it. This summer will be a blast!

She can Spin...

Brooklyn has mastered the sit and spin! The first few times she did it she would use her foot to push herself around but now she does it the right way. It's so funny to watch once she gets going. I love watching her learn and grow, it's amazing...

She has learned to ham it up when the camera is out now

Not the greatest picture but you get the idea

After the fact she likes to lay on the ground and be cheesy!

How fun is it to be a mom when you have a darling little girl like Brooklyn?

A few more new things she has started doing recently include laying down on her belly in the tub, blowing bubbles under the water in the tub, wearing anybody's and everybody's shoes, she says "help," (which is the newest but she can also say mama, dada, hi, buh bye, etc), and she can find her eyes/ears/mouth/teeth/toes/bum/eyes/nose.

Happy 3rd Anniversary...

This year we had a different kind of anniversary, we spent it as a family instead of as a couple (well most of it anyways). Zach managed to get the day off from work and so we planned to head south.

First we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. It was so cool! There were tons of little kids there but over all I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. Brooklyn loved the fish and loved watching all the little kids that were there too. They had a few different things that I thought were interesting, they have a 'pool' that has sting rays that you can touch if you want to, they have a little play area thing that the kids can crawl through but it has fish tanks built into it, they had a gift shop, and the halls were nice and wide to accommodate strollers. It is a very kid friendly place.

After we visited the aquarium we visited Zach's family for a while then they watched Boky while we went to my favorite restaraunt...

Joe's Crab Shack!! It was a very good meal! I got the crab daddy feast and Zach got the Chesapeake steam pot. I even wore my bib :} Then after we got done eating we went shopping and got a few Easter things. It was a good night.

Thanks to everyone who called, texted, or sent a card! Glad you were thinking of us!
