February Beach Day

This weekend we had unseasonably warm weather and got to enjoy it as a family.  On Saturday we enjoyed the animals and lunch at Bergey’s farm.  Brooke and AJ shared some of their homemade ice cream.  Then we had extended play time at the park for Brooke.  On Sunday we headed to the beach and if it got too cold we would go to the aquarium.  It was 75 degrees, sunny, with very little wind at the beach so we decided to spend the whole morning there.  We walked on the sand, played near the water, Brooke played twice on the playground (before and after lunch), we walked on the boardwalk (Brooke insisted she push the stroller), and we had lunch sitting outside at a little cafe facing the ocean.  We wore Brooke out!

Valentine’s Day 2014 was also Brooke’s 21 month birthday.  We started the day with Stroller Strides and a fun Valentine’s Day craft.  Then Brooke got a special delivery from her friend Adrianna with a cute Valentine and special BFF cookie.  Then after nap Brooke got to open her mail.  She got lots of Valentines from all her family.  She also got some more heart cookies and a little red monkey from Grammy and Grandpa.  In the evening, Mom and Dad got to go out all dressed up on a nice date night (we, of course, forgot to ask our sitter to take a picture).

Brooke’s Play Kitchen

Shortly after we moved Oma and Opa bought Brooke a beautiful durable extra tall wood play kitchen that she will have fun playing with for years.  After I spent a snowy night putting it together (2.5 hours to assemble – not bad) she has loved playing with it ever since.

It was another 30-something degree cold day and scheduled to rain so today Brooke and I trekked out to Portsmouth to go the museum there.  Since we have been going to the aquarium every week I thought it might be nice to mix it up.  Here are some pictures I snapped on my phone of the outing.

Brooke’s Toddler Bed

Today Brooke upgraded her crib for a toddler bed.  She enjoyed being able to climb in it all on her own.  Now let’s just hope she stays in it all night long.
