Science Center

This weekend was absolutely beautiful, so we wanted to make the most of it. Saturday we went to the Science Center to see the swamp animals and other things and do a few other errands. We also got our hotel for our weekend in Charlotte for the awesome band!!! That's right, we have AMAZING seats to see FLEETWOOD MAC!!! Yippie!!! Anyway, Daphne loved playing with all of the different science things about as much as daddy loved playing with them too. It was wonderful just getting to play around all day with our little family. We are getting excited about spring time so we can really go outside and play at the park and other fun things. It was too cold and windy on Sunday to go outside and walk like we wanted to. We were all bundled up ready to go and then we realized how cold it was when the wind was blowing. Needless to say, we got Daphne's and Mac's hopes up for seeing the pretty day again. We played indoors instead.
I am NOT a caged animal. I'm free, I'm free!
Mommy now has an excuse for getting to play on the slides again! She doesn't need to meet the height requirement like Clinton keeps saying I do anyway. Daphne wasn't sure how to react to the slide.
Now this is what we spent a good 30 minutes doing. Fishing. A woman after my own heart!


We just had to touch the fish every time we caught it.

Playing with the pully system. We raced daddy, but we lost. Someone wanted to try to pull the rope themselves.

This light really amazed her. We had to smack it a few hundred times.

ooh, lights!

This is our new ducky tub that aunt Tiff bought us before Daphne was born. It quacks and everything. It's actually pretty nice because she doesn't slip and slide like a mudpuppy does in the tub. And as long as we have our toys in our mouth, life is good.

splish splash. go under you silly animals. swim swim.

Hi daddy! I'm sitting in a duck.
Oh, we have also started back swimming lessons this week. We are doing well and she is loving it. We also went to the doctors this week. We are now 14 pounds, 2 ounces and 26 inches long. We have a big head of 17.5 inches...all my brains have to go somewhere. So big!

Our little Rocker...

So our little one has been really sick all week. It's kind of sad to watch her coughing and staying up all night listening to her through the monitor. I haven't had time to update in awhile (imagine that!) but some interesting things have happened. Or at least just a couple that we have pictures to show. First, Daphne found the baby in the mirror in our bathroom. We aren't sure if she knew it was her, or just another baby. But she was smiling at the baby and moving her arms around and then laughing when she saw it happening. It was so cute! The other happening (obviously before she was sick) is that she has figured out how to play Rock Band with mommy and daddy and wants to be a part of the fun.
She's moving her arms around and around.
Is that me or a baby that looks an awful lot like me?

Look daddy, I can play the drums just as good as mommy can!

I like these sticks, I wonder if they fit in my mouth.

Bam...Bam...Bam...this is neat...bam...bam...clang....clang
