We went to the air show at our local naval base today. Brooke loved seeing all the airplanes, but when they started flying she wasn’t quite ready for the loud sounds. Next year we’ll have to get her some headphones Laura says.

Beach Day In December
Today it was 80 degrees by noon. I decided to take advantage of the warm weather and surprised AJ by bringing Brooke by VBG and then we went to the beach. Brooke had a lot of fun playing on the playground and then a little too much fun getting into the ocean that her skirt got wet. She decided she didn’t need pants and kept playing without them which brought on a lot of giggles from the other parents standing nearby.

Seat Stealer
We all know how much Brooke loves the beach. Today she had great fun with Oma and Opa at the beach! Her new favorite thing to do is to climb into chairs. Patio chairs in our yard, the couch, our reading chair, her rocking chair….whatever she can get her hands on. Today she decided to steal Opa’s chair at the beach and though that was so funny! Then she relaxed with her cherrios and water.
Virginia Aquarium
We are really enjoying this time together as a family and yesterday we took Brooke to the Virginia Aquarium. She had an amazing time walking around and looking at all the exhibits. It is exciting to take her places now that she has turned a year because she really acknowledges and responds to her surroundings. She is a blur of motion in most of these pictures because she loved everything so much she just kept moving and looking at all the different things. She wasn’t too fond of seals but enjoyed the seahorses, fish, and turtles. She even tried to get into the water with the manta rays but the pool was really cloudy and hard to see. I think if she could really see them they probably would not wanted to have jumped in. It was a wonderful and fun afternoon.
Brooke’s First Ballgame
Today we decided to go as a family to our local minor league Tides baseball game. Brooke had fun walking in the isles and trying some ball park grilled soft pretzel. Her favorite thing by far was walking up and down the stadium stairs. Mom and Dad took alternate innings walking with her. Even though she didn’t quite make it through the 7th inning stretch, for a 13 month old she did great.
