On Friday we got a chance to play outside at the local park. It didn't last long because it started to rain. It is so funny how Brooks is still very hesitant with the sand. You'd think he'd like it better than cement to learn to walk on, but this just is not the case. Brooks really doesn't like the sand and doesn't know what to do when he is standing in it. He doesn't want to get his hands dirty so he stands there with a sad look on his face until he falls down and starts to cry.
On Friday night we went to McDonald's for an ice cream cone. I should say Brooks got an ice cream cone while his mommy sat there wishing it was her "cheat" day. (I only get one a week!) Anyhow, Brooks did awesome on his cone and didn't want it from the spoon. He wanted to eat his cone like a big kid. It was fun to watch him. Greg took Brooks to the top of the play land. Here is a shot of them climbing up the tree. Brooks did really good walking on Friday night. He was so busy watching the other kids that he didn't realize he would walk 5 or 6 steps at a time. (BTW--he is currently walking about 10 steps at a time. I would feel comfortable saying he now walks, but it is not his main mode of transportation!)

Peek-a-Boo! By the way, Greg is a REALLY good Daddy. He must have had a dad who was involved in his life. Thanks, Larry!
Greg and Brooks had a chance to hang out with Cousin Dylan and Auntie Michele on Monday. This was an exciting time since we don't get to see Michele and Dylan very often. Michele is in town for Dylan's baptism. Greg reports that they tried for a long time to get a good picture of the cousins together, but it just wasn't happening. I think this is a pretty cute one of Greg and his sister and our little buddies! It was really fun to have time with Michele, Grandma Johnson and of course, Dylan!
