Amusement park

A few weeks ago we took Nelle to the nearest amusement park with a big group of our friends. This was her first time riding any rides other than a ferris wheel at the park. It was a little on the ridiculous side because it cost us $21 just to get Nelle in and there really weren't many rides she could even ride. She was to short to ride any by herself and they didn't have many that a parent could ride with a child but she still rode 4 rides. I rode with her on her first kiddy roller coaster which was a lot of fun. I think she liked it cuz she started crying when we had to get off. Then Jake rode on a weird octopus thing that squirted water and she liked it till she got squirted with water. Then we went on a huge ferris wheel which she loved. She kept trying to climb out and then our friend Kimmy took her on a smaller ferris wheel which I was totally unaware of how fast it actually went. She got scared a little on that but was ok. It was a lot of fun and we cant wait till shes older and can ride more!

Zoo

So I have really been slacking on my posts here so Im gonna update you. I cant even remember how long ago it was but we took Nelle to the zoo again. Its amazing how many more animals she saw and how much more fun she had vs just a few months ago when we took her. She really liked the monkeys and the bears. She knew exactly what a bear was, she was pointing at them saying "bear, bear."

Nelle's new found joy

A week or so ago Nelle discovered that one of the cabinets containing all of our tupperware didn't have a child safety latch on it anymore. Needless to say, she has to completely empty this cabinet several times a day. As soon as I put it away she is right behind me taking it all out. I have discovered that this is one of the most irritating things in the world but I also realize that this is part of her development. Either way she keeps me having a full time job. LOL

Visit from Grandma

Im a little behind on posting but a few weekends ago Grandma and Papa Grosse came to visit for Grandma's birthday. We went swimming which of course Nelle loved, like usual, but she was very quick to let us know when she was ready to go. She just went and stood by the gate. LOL Then Grandma and I went shopping around for a Wedding dress for me. We only had time to go to David's Bridal but apparently that was were I was meant to go. I tried on about 8 dresses and I found the one. Surprisingly enough it was the 1st one I tried on and man is it GORGEOUS! Anyways then later that night we all went out to eat and got some really great food then headed off to go bowling. Of course we all forgot our cameras so no pics were taken but we had a blast! It was midnight blowing with all the lights off and the cool colorful lights going and Nelle just thought that was awesome. She even helped bowl and although she didn't hit any pins she still was still in aww. It was a great visit and we cant wait to go bowling again..maybe that will have to be a tradition or something.

Oh and the bought Nelle one of the coolest toys I have ever seen..all of the levels on the wooden thing lift up and in each level are different shaped blocks. As you can imagine its VERY messy but she loves it!
