First trip to the Zoo

We took Connor to the Caldwell Zoo back on April 25th. It was a beautiful spring day and we all had a great time.





We started out with a trip to the petting area of the zoo. Connor thought the goats were very interesting and really wanted to see what their hair tasted like. (None actually made it to his mouth.)

Even the hand-washing station was an adventure.









Of course, he wants to touch everything.

They have a bird area that you can walk into. For a buck, you can buy a 'seed stick' and coax the birds to eat from it. I could not let him hold the stick since he wanted to put it in his mouth, but he was enthralled the entire time we were in there.










There were many animals that he did not notice because they blended into the environment well. Those can get discovered on subsequent trips!

Adventure Baby

After all the fun he had swinging with PaPa (his great-grandfather) we decided to get him one for the house. I think the picture says the rest better than I ever could.

Water Baby

When Connor was first born, and for the first couple months thereafter we bathed him in a little infant tub straddling the kitchen sink. He would either fuss, or just lay there till it was over.

Now, we bathe him in the tub and he loves it. When you ask him if he wants out, he just turns around and keeps playing. He is such a fun baby!
