Children's Museum

The day of her actual birthday Jason decided to take the day off so we could spend it with our baby girl. We made it a day filled with fun. Our first stop was the children's museum. At first she was a little reserved but after we moved away from the crowds she was all over the place. It helped we were given a tip to avoid going in the morning because of the school groups. About 10 minutes after we got there they were all on there way out. After that it was pretty much empty. Definitely a bonus for us.

The museum had an area that was more suited for older kids and then an area downstairs that was for the little bits. She had so much fun running from station to station. There was so much for her to look at and so many things to keep her attention. It was a great way to spend the day.


She sat patiently while the balloon inflated. Her face was so sweet.

I was shocked she let us put this on her. She actually kept it on for a few minutes. She has come a long way.

This is simulating an ant hill. It had a bunch of different tunnels for them to crawl in and out of. It was pretty cool.

There were several mommies and babies. Too precious!

Apparently, the creepy mannequin behind her didn't seem to phase her. This is a true Kaylie moment.

Fascinated by the floating ball.

I love the look on her face.

After we were done we decided to take her to McDonald's so she could play and we could have a snack. There play area was huge. She had so much fun climbing around it.

For me...the best part was having her sit with us and eat cookies and apples. You appreciate it so much more when you know how hard it has been to get to that point. Definitely a great way to end the afternoon.
