More Zoo Adventures

Okay, so Mama is a little late updating. This was our trip to a zoo in a different city on the fourth of July. At first I was upset because I thought we were going to the zoo in our city, but turns out we were going to a different one. I got to see so many different animals here, including a chicken! I was so egg-cited to pet it, too.


We discovered camel's, and Daddy took me for a ride. Here we are waiting for Mama to take a picture.


Here I am watching the bear (and Daddy says it lookes like the bear is watching me, too, but he's really not).


I was so tuckered out by my trip to this zoo that I feel asleep while eating my snack in the car! Mama says she tried to get a picture of me with my graham cracker up by my mouth, but then I moved before she could take the picture.

Berries, How I Love Thee

After banana's, my favorite fruit is perhaps berries. I love strawberries (just like Daddy!) and blueberries (just like Mama!) and blackberries (Mama likes these, too, but probably not as much as I do!)

Here is evidence of my latest conquest... blackberries!


On this particular day, I insisted to Mama I wanted blackberries. Mama didn't want to give them to me because she said I'd get messy and we were going to be going out soon. She tried to offer me blueberries instead, but I refused. Well, Mama took my shirt off and gave me some blackberries. As you can probably guess, I thoroughly enjoyed them.

As a side note, later that day Mama was doing some cleaning so she moved the bench from our table over by the kitchen sink. I climbed up there and discovered the blueberries Mama had draining. Needless to say, I had to help myself. I couldn't let those poor blueberries sit there all alone. Did I mention I LOVE berries?

Camping in My Room

Since I sleep in a big-girl bed now, I don't always sleep there. Mama has found me in various spots around my room. On this day she managed to sneak in on me (sometimes I sleep in front of my door so I know when I can get up!) and gathered evidence of my camping out. I do look comfortable, though.

My Zoo Adventure

I FINALLY got to go to the zoo and see the animals. Mama and Daddy tried to take me one day, but we got there too late and the zoo was already closed. I, of course, threw my customary tantrum, but Mama and Daddy promised we'd come back another day. I am soooo happy!


Here I am riding the bronze tortoise. I had to wait my turn, though, since there were other kids here ahead of me. Once it was my turn, though, look out world - here I come!


After we rode the train (choo-choo!!) and looked at some animals, we went and saw the giraffes! Daddy got me a giraffe cracker so I could feed one. Did you know that they have looooooooong tongues?!? It scared me at first, but after I fed the giraffe a cracker I was upset because I didn't have more to give him. Oh well, maybe next time.

The Monster Under the Bed

I am getting so big. In fact, Mama and Daddy put me in a big girl bed a couple months ago and I don't even use the guard rail anymore. Yippee!

One day I was playing with Fudge's scrunchie toy and I lost it. I thought it had gone under the bed so Mama and I were trying to find it. Mama was looking from the side and I was at the headboard and decided to crawl under the bed. I belly crawled under there and Mama took this picture.

Hmm... now I see why the cats like to hide under the bed!

Summer Fun

I think I am so stylin' in my new swim suit. It matches my eyes, don't you think? Mama and Daddy filled up my swimming pool for me so I could cool off. At first I wasn't too sure of the cold water, but once I got used to it and Mama got me some toys to play with I was fine with it. I kept slipping around in there, but eventually I did find my water legs (or knees). I sure hope I get to do this more often!

I love Ice Cream!

Summer just wouldn't be summer without ice cream, would it? Like Mama, and Grandpa D, and Great-Grandpa N, I have a sweet tooth. You'd better believe I don't pass up the chance for ice cream, even if it means mooching off of Daddy. I can even hear the ice cream truck when no one else can. Here I am with my ice cream goatee (and I even have some one my nose!).


Yeah, and here I am trying a new way to eat the cone. By the way, I wouldn't advise eating it from the bottom. When the ice cream starts to melt it goes everywhere!


P.S. Mama says she's discovered how to make posts show up later, so while we missed June, she's already got several posts lined up for July.
