Photo Dump Wednesday: Firsts

We had a pretty fun weekend planned around JOE and it was perfect. JOE have several firsts this weekend.

JOE loves Elmo and since she hasn't been to a museum, we figured it would be a good opportunity to take her. Coincidentally, it was also Elmo's birthday so of course, there was a pretty good crowd at the museum.

J decided to treat us with his black credit card ☺.

Our first first of the day was J turning JOE'S car seat forward facing. She is still a petite little one but she is tall so we figured she was ready. We were right. She loved it. 

Another first was JOE visiting the Children's museum. The first thing she saw was Elmo and she immediately went over to say hello :-).

Then it was time to get down to business. The business of cooking that is. Here she is with all her food gathered in her shopping basket.

Now to review all she has.

Next stop, wash the veggies. My baby does watch me when I am in the kitchen! :-).

And now it is time to cook!

But oh no! You need to build the fire...or something...who knows? She just started gathering this stuff...

And then an announcement came on that Elmo was going to do a dance. JOE was at first excited until she saw Elmo...I'll let you see her reaction.

By the way, why does Elmo have a butt? I thought Elmo was a guy?

And Elmo also had boobs. Hmmm...something is different here...

I think JOE sensed it cause check out the look on her face.

And there was a cookie monster too.

Well, after a little crying by JOE when we said we were leaving, we were off to our next adventure. The Ferris Wheel!

On our way, we saw this and I just had to take a picture. It looked rather peaceful/calming.

Then there was this door. The picture didn't do it justice. Its pretty cool!

We also walked by a farmer's market on our way. Yup...this was a long walk to the Ferris Wheel but also a scenic one.

And there she is. The American version of the London Eye. Wicked cool! We waited in line for almost an hour in hot and humid weather to get on and it was worth it.

JOE clearly was enjoying it :-).

Some pictures of the view from up there.

And then it was time to head on home. JOE promptly fell asleep once we got in the car. She had an awesome time and so did we.

I hope you're having an awesome week so far.
