Today we went to the pool for an afternoon swim, but it began to storm so we left for home. Brooke wanted to continue to play in the water though, so we splashed around in the rain having a good time.

Brooke continues to improve her walking…

Everyday Brooke is doing such an amazing job walking. She is getting better at changing direction quickly and keeping up with the brisk pace of her parents. This afternoon Brooke and I went to a craft fair at the Town Center fountains and she got to practice her walking around the courtyard. She also had some fun putting her hands and other things in the fountains. We walked around the nearby shops and she tried her first tiny piece of Belgium chocolate at a local chocolatier. She wasn’t too excited but I am sure that will change as she gets older.
This past week we got to visit with Grammy and Grandpa. We all enjoyed having them around, but Brooke really had a good time hanging out with them, going to the beach, playing at the park and going to a farm. Also, Brooke really got comfortable walking all on her own this week – – it’s been quite the transformation to where she now just runs around the house anywhere she’d like to go.

I bought Brooke some new bath toys that I thought she might enjoy and would help to teach letters to her. One of the fun aspects of these large foam letters is that when wet they stick to the tub. Brooke wet one and stuck it intentionally to my bicep and then we learned that they stuck to people too. Then AJ decided to stick some letters to Brooke.
