We had a great day! Brooks and I went for a walk in the morning to the little park down the street. It's fun to explore the neighborhood. We hung out at the house for a bit and then ran some errands: I signed him up for swim lessons and picked up some cupcakes. Brooks decided that since it was his birthday, that an afternoon nap wasn't all that important. So, after sleeping for only 45 minutes or so, we picked up daddy from work. We had to rush home, eat dinner, and get ready for swim lessons. There were only 2 other kids in Brooks' swim class, and he is the youngest. He was SO happy to be in the water. He loved "jumping" off the side and sticking his face in the water to try and blow bubbles. He splashed and talked and smiled the whole time. After swimming, we came home and opened some cards and presents (is it so bad that we didn't get Brooks anything?). THEN came the best part of the night...THE CUPCAKE!!! At first Brooks wasn't sure what to do, but once he figured out that it was food, he dug right in. He ate it all up!
So, now my little baby is a big boy and as cute as ever. This has been such a fun first year with Brooks, and I am looking forward to this next year and all the new things he will learn.
