Big News!

Today Brooke had her first Krispy Kreme doughnut. She thoroughly enjoyed it! Today was National Doughnut Day so they were giving a free doughnut to all customers all day! Brooke chose glazed chocolate with sprinkles.

Other big news.. Brooke is going to be a big sister! I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and just starting to feel ill. We are very excited!

Brooke vs. Abby in the Box

Brooke had fun playing in this box all day. She spent an hour playing with Grandpa Dave and the box. She giggled the most playing with Abby in the box though!

Gymnastics!

Brooke and I signed up for a mommy and me type gymnastics class. Yesterday was our first day and it was a hit! She loved it! We forgot our camera unfortunately but thanks to Melissa and Aubrey we got a few for our first day! I'll have to remember it next time!

Here is a picture of Aubrey and Brooke, the future gymnasts!.


Brooke and I in the pit of foam, or should I call it the pit of death? Brooke loved it but it took me like 5 minutes to get out of the pit!

Sesame Street Live!!!!

We took Brooke to see Sesame Street Live - Elmo's Green Thumb. She absolutely loved it!

Here she is in her Elmo outfit already to meet him!


We also were able to take several videos during the show. She danced and was so excited. We had great seats (front row on the right side) and she got to touch probably 5 or 6 of them too. We were able to capture some of those on video. The video is kind of long, but so totally worth it.

Hop Hop Hop

Great Grandma and Grandpa Sturtz had a hopping bunny for Easter. Brooke loved this bunny, but also hated it. She continually wanted people to wind it up to make it hop. She would actually point at it and say hop hop hop and pull people's hands toward it. She however refused to touch it herself. She would get really close but never touch it. She would point at parts of it, but not touch it. We all got quite a kick out of it!

Piano Piano Piano

As I mentioned in the previous post, Brooke's favorite thing to do was play the piano with Great Grandma Sturtz. This was her favorite last time we visited too.

This first video is Brooke last year in Minnesota playing with the piano.

This is a video of Brooke this year. She probably spent at least 1/2 of her time at her grandparents sitting on that bench. She is able to get into it now and dance a little too.
