First Zoo Trip

We took Little Guy to the zoo for the first time.  We wanted to take advantage of the warm spring summer temps.  LG loved it and was intrigued by all the animals.  His favorite seemed to be the giraffe and the penguins. 

Waving at everyone



Finally noticed the giraffe and got excited



Things I didn't know a year ago...

      ·         My heart had room to love more than it already did.  It has grown
                   a million times seven.

·         Going to bed at 9 is a treat rather than punishment

·         I can be so frustrated and mad one minute and a sillly smile can
           dissolve those feelings in seconds

·         Nights spent dancing to “Hot Diggity Dog” are more entertaining and
            way more fun than shakin it in the club

·         This is the hardest most selfless job I have ever done and yet the
            most rewarding

·         Sleep is overrated

·         Mommyhood is not for sissies so put your big girl panties on and
            buckle up

·         Laughter and silliness has filled our home more than I thought could
            be possible

·         Rocking in the middle of the night are some sweet memories that I
            would trade for sleep all most some of the time.

·         Teething is not nice

·         A babies cry sends more “fight” response than before

·         A bunch of small potatoes with British accents is captivating

·         Being a mom is so much more satisfying  than anything I’ve ever done.

The list could go on but that is it for now.



10 Months

 

Things Little Guy loves:

• Crossing his legs.  He does this ANYtime he is sitting
• Obsessed with sticking his tongue out
• 100% Daddy's boy
• Know what DaDa means
• Momma's hair
• Chicken strips

Here are Little Guy's 10 month pictures.  It was a little challenging that day but we checked it off our list nonetheless:

Had to bribe him with toys just to get him to sit still

"It is not naptime, momma"

So the pictures make it seem like I'm lying about him crossing his legs all the time but he tried and couldn't keep his balance while sitting in the chair :)
