Sam and Evan Go to the Zoo

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

On Tuesday, which has to have been the hottest day on record, Emma and I thought it would be pure genius to take the babies to the zoo.  To give myself a smidge of credit, we were taking advantage of the fact that Nanny Jamie needed the day off, so I wasn't working.  It wasn't quite as inane as it sounds.

As you can see, they weren't exactly enthusiastic when we got started.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Things looked up quickly, though.  Although she bought me a membership to the zoo last mother's day, this seemed to be the first time Samantha was old enough to really notice the animals and get excited about things.  In the picture below she is so excited her hands and feet are wiggling like crazy.

One delightful thing about taking a friend along - I can prove I was there!

And a bonus shot of today, because she's being super-cute.

Latest updates:  Samantha is mimicking lots of sounds.  She's very good at giving kisses and has learned to give hugs, too.  She's recently learned to sign "baby", which she uses to ask for her favorite baby doll.

She had a cold this week (thanks, Evan...) and proved that she is able to fight off these little bugs pretty well.  She's such a trooper.  She took her medicine without complaint and even sat still and leaned forward to let us use the nasal aspirator.  Non-parents are no doubt bemused by that last bit, but anyone who has tried to shove one of those puppies into the nose of a wiggling baby will be quite impressed.  She's truly a sweet, sweet girl.  We are so lucky!
