Parade and other festive things!

We have had a busy couple of days. Blake took Brooke to the Rose Festival Parade on Saturday. They were at the parade for FOUR hours. Brooke enjoyed it and came home telling me all about the marching bands, the people dressed as monkeys cleaning up after the horses and the "cowboy with the big teeth and the princesses". Turns out the "cowboy" was actually The Beast from Beauty and the Beast and he was the star of one of the floats. Kind of makes sense...he looked like a cow, he was a boy, he had big teeth (tusks) and he gave the rose to the princess.

Grandma Mary sent Hadley some bath crayons. They are a HUGE hit! Odd...I don't see HADLEY playing with them, though....



Miss Hadley had her one year check up. She is 99th percentile for head size, 25.3 pounds (97th percentile) and 30" inches long - which is incorrect - she was 31" two months ago - I doubt she shrank. Her doctor was very impressed with her words (Mama, Dada, Baba, NoNO!, more, hello, bye and uh oh) and the fact that she kind of "sings" Happy Birthday. She is a genius!



And, SHOCKER, Brooke decided out of nowhere to sleep in her toddler bed today!
