Denver Zoo Pics

Having a baby really makes you branch out and experience new things. We've been wanting to go to the Denver Zoo for quite some time, but just got around to it yesterday! (Slackers, I know!) Brinlie had a great time seeing everything and loves being toted around by Daddy in her pack.

Cheetah...Brinlie will later ride one on the carousel.

The Noskers distant relative, the penguin. For those of you who don't know, Daddy is commonly referred to as the penguin because he freezes everyone out! The only exception was when Mommy was pregnant last summer and she actually froze him out!!!

A Day of Firsts

Yesterday we decided to take a trip to the Denver Zoo. We all had a great time seeing many animals and introducing Brinlie to new things. First, she told me that she wanted to take a cheetah for a spin on the Carousel. I was happy to oblige, but didn't realize just how high up these animals go! Note to self: I need to wear my "tall" sandals on days like this. Anyways, when the carousel first started moving, Brinlie let out this really loud excited scream that she does. The whole time she would just smile, scream and wave at everyone---except when we came around to where Daddy was. (Doesn't that figure??!!) It was adorable! I see the Noskers taking many more rides on carousels.

Her next "first" was trying out Mommy's ice cream cone. It was rather warm out and she was just dying for a taste of ice cream. I decided it was time to introduce her. At first I tried having her lick the cone, but it just got all over her face. Next, I gave her tastes off my finger. Needless to say, she loved the stuff!!

"I own this cheetah!"

"I want my own cone!"

Family Kimono

This kimono has been worn by many of the women in the Nosker family, including Aunt Lois and Grandma N. (And I think even Great Grandma Sumiko too!)

"And lastly, here's the back accented with a bow."

Recent UT Adventures

We had a great time in UT (except for the little sleep part) last week. We were so busy the entire time we were there, visiting friends and family. Here are a couple of pics of my adventures:

Brin and her cousin Avery (who's one month YOUNGER than her!) at Melody's baby shower.

Preparing for Mutton Bustin' by riding her Sit and Spin Zebra at Grandma W's house.

Swingin' with cousin Jade at Terrace Days.

The two cutest girls around

Brinlie had a great time last week with her cousin Jade. The girls got matching outfits and went to get their pics done while we were all there visiting. The pictures turned out sooooo cute. Jade is 7 years old now and is so good with Brinlie. Hopefully we'll be able to take pictures like this more regularly.

Can't you just tell that these two are related?! They look like they're up to something!

9 month pics

Here are Brinlie's official 9 month old pictures. Isn't she adorable??!!! I know I'm biased, but seriously, she is one CUTE kid!

Grandma W. loves the look on her face here. What an angel...sometimes.

Classic Brinlie smile!

I love this smile. Lately this is the smile she gives when she's really excited. Oh, and yes, she's always standing on her tippy toes. Guess she's learning how to be taller at an early age.
I couldn't believe they actually got her to wear the hat...they have many tricks up their sleeves.

9 months old!!

I can hardly believe that Brinlie is 9 months old today!! She's grown so much (well, not really when you compare her to other kids) and she started really crawling last week. She's getting so fast that we can't keep up with her. Also, as of this moment, she doesn't have any teeth! Her 9 month dr. appt is Thursday, so we'll have to post her stats. Next week we will be in UT visiting lots of family, even her cousin Jade!!! Fun, fun, fun....summer has begun!!

"Look how well I sit up now."

"Yep, getting into trouble under the coffee table!"
