Picnic, playdate at the park and can it be we're - WALKING?!!!

Britt and I took Brooklee to the Reservoir for a picnic and to feed the ducks the other day. Brooklee just loves being outside!! She is starting to get pretty brave and let go of what she was holding onto and stand alone!! We are so proud of her and so amazed at the milestones she has achieved and the ones she is still working on. She is standing alone with her snack cup! This girl loves her some food!!


Brooklee loved feeding the ducks! She would just talk and laugh at them as they qaucked and ran after the food. This is exactly how she was looking at them the whole time!!!



When we got home Brooklee and Britt went for a bike ride and Desi and I walked beside them. She is such a happy little thing!! She was having so much fun riding with her daddy! One thing that you can't see in these pictures is that her legs are just a kicking!! Her legs do not stop moving when she is having fun. Love that sweet smile!!!


Just playing in the backyard for a minute before bath time. Just had to share this funny smile she gave me!

Britt went to mow the front yard while Brooklee and I went in and got her ready for bath time and bed. After her bath I opened the window so that she could see Britt mowing the yard and she loved it!! (I think Desi loved it too!) She was clapping on the window and calling out to her Dadadada.


Sweet smile after realizing that I was watching her! Well she realized I was there because I had to tell her to quit pulling on the blinds. Desi was still hanging in there with her!


Wednesday, Brooklee and I met Wendi and Zachary at the park for lunch and some fun! Brooklee got so excited to see Zachary! She loves other kids and starts to kicking and laughing when some kiddo comes up to play with her. Wendi and I were just a talking and looked up and Zachary had climbed up this thing like it was just a few steps!



Wendi and Brooklee!! She was of course smiling so big and kicking her legs!

She had so much fun playing at the park!!




Having so much fun swinging with the kiddos!!!!



We had to take a quick snack and juice break and Zachary was so sweet to Brooklee!! He made sure she had her snacks (even the ones she dropped :) and kept giving her hugs!! Love him!

Okay so big accomplishment!! Can it be??? Can my sweet little baby really be trying to WALK?!!So, Brooklee has been attempting to stand alone and has thought about taking one or so steps for a couple of days but would always just sit herself down once she realized she wasn't holding on to anything. Tonight, July 9th, she actually started taking a few steps!!!!! I am so proud of my little girl and am so glad that I got it on camera! Here is a short video of her walking to get her Lucy doll!! She was pretty tired as it was getting close to bedtime but she did really good and walked to get Lucy and then stood there for a few minutes after and hugged on Lucy! She loves her some Lucy and Mommy and Daddy love some Brooklee!!!
