aquarium

Philip somehow wound up with almost a week off from work! with the exception of teaching ATLS all day wednesday, we have gotten to enjoy some days off together!  He has been wanting to take Ainsley to the Newport Aquarium so Friday we got up and went :)  She enjoyed it for sure. I mean, what one year old doesn't enjoy animals, lights and room to play?  It was such a beautiful day and we had such a good time.

lunch time! 

she's special...

biting the penguins nose. of course. 

She is just so inquisitive and observant that going somewhere where there is so much to see was so fun for her. well, and fun for us as well :)  After we left aquarium we walked around newport and there were pictures of fish all over the walls and she would run up to each fish and point at it. then run to the next one, and point. and we would say 'where is the fish?' and she would go point to one:) this age is getting so fun! she isn't saying many understandable words, but babbles babbles babbles and is understanding everything.  that night we got to enjoy a dinner with just the two of us and get some errands done that are so much easier without baby-in-tow:)  Soo excited for spring to come and STAY. forecast calling for snow maybe on tuesday-- OVER IT:)
