We're back!

So we haven't really gone anywhere, we've just been busy around here. We actually are going somewhere very exciting next week and hopefully it won't take 3 months to post the millions of pictures I'm sure we'll take. Here is what we've been up to the past 3 months!

We went to the lake house to check on things and on the long car ride home we decided that Brooklyn should enjoy an Oreo cookie. She loved it!

I took Brooklyn to the Mills mall in Grapevine and let her ride the carousel. She liked it until it started moving. And I got really dizzy on it! Apparently we need to practice more spinning around at home!

She loved riding the "choo choo truck". She knows that it's a train, but insists on calling it a truck. She just laughs when you try to correct her. So set in her ways already!

She also enjoyed the boat, but I think she likes Daddy's boat more.

She's in the caboose!

We met some friends for lunch at the Village of Allen and then let Brooklyn play in the water fountains. She had so much fun once she got used to the water spraying at her. We brought a change of clothes and she almost got those soaking wet when she ran off while we were looking the other way!

While I'm sure I ate a lot at lunch, that is also a pregnant belly you're noticing! I'm about 24 weeks along now and Greg likes to say I'm showing like I did at 33 weeks with Brooklyn! Brooklyn has a baby brother coming and I'm trying to enjoy the calm days and sleep-filled nights before he arrives. I'll try to be better about taking more pictures to document this pregnancy!

Super excited about the "wawa"!

Brooklyn and I went to the library one day when they had outdoor activities. Brooklyn is barefoot because she stepped in a swimming pool of bubbles earlier! Fortunately it wasn't that cold out! She loved drawing with the chalk, so we went to the store on the way home to pick some up!

We've also been going to the Dallas Art Museum the past two months. On the first Tuesday of the month they have children's activities and admission is free! This is a wall of ivy outside in the sculpture garden.

Brooklyn had a good time playing with these magnets.

There are horses outside the new OBGYN's office that we've been going to. Brooklyn enjoys the horses from far away. She was a little weary this close!

She would prefer this distance! She's pointing at some longhorn cattle.

Posing in her Easter outfit!

Not so silly in this one!

More fun at the Dallas Art Museum with our BFF, Isaac!

So cute together!

Playing with the streamers outside at the art museum.


Brooklyn is growing up so quickly! She's learning multiple words each day, talking in 2-4 word sentences, remembers the craziest and most minute details of every single day, loves reading books to her animals and being read to, doing puzzles, playing outside in the dirt and pointing out everything she knows the words for when we're driving in the car. She hates getting her hair rinsed out in the bath right now for some reason. As in she screams and stands up in the tub when you try to rinse out the shampoo! Who knows! Hopefully this phase passes quickly!

That's all for now! We'll be back in a couple weeks with some really good pictures hopefully!
