We Went to the Zoo...It was trip number 2!

We went back to the zoo today because Justin's company was having a family day there.  Which meant free admission and food at their private pavilion. Levi was pretty tired the whole time because he had been up since 6:45, but he hung in there.  He yet again refused to take a nap because he might miss something.  Even as tired as he was he seemed a little more interested in the animals this time, actually watching them move/crawl/fly.  We stuck mostly to the indoor exhibits because they are air conditioned and you could see more at one time.

Of course he crawled through the tunnel in the fish tank again, but it was hard to get pictures because it was a steady stream of kids going through. This is the view from outside the fish tank.

We also went to the petting zoo area again to see the goats. He was pretty excited and clapped for them.  And SEE MOM, my kid does have shoes.  Stride Rite, size 7 extra wide for his fat feet.

Hey Mr. Goat, look at me when I'm talking to you!

 

 Now you can really see his crazy hair.  It's still all patchy though and is not coming in uniformly.  It looks more like a mullet.

And finally we went to the bird house.  He really enjoyed all the birds, especially the open area where they were flying all around.

It was a fun but exhausting day.  He fell asleep as soon as we were in the car and moving on our way home.  I can't wait for the cooler weather and I'll go on a weekday next time.  I think I'd rather deal with field trip groups than thousands of other people with strollers!

Playing with Mommy

This was just an afternoon of playing around with Levi, right after waking up from a nap.  I took pictures with the intent to send them to Justin when he was out of town but that never happened.  But I still ended up with some cute ones.

  

Visit with Friends

Back in August, our friends Knox and Kristin came for a visit.  They moved to the Phillipines in April and we missed them!  They use to live right around the corner from us and we would walk over to each others houses for playdates.  They might be moving back to Houston in January; we can only hope!  Knox was Levi's first friend.  It also helped that he was the closest in size to my big boy!

Levi's Shirt

Levi had a message to share with the Grandparents a couple of weeks ago, courtesy of his new shirt:

 And if that message wasn't clear enough for you, maybe this one is:

Yep, we are pregnant again!  Due the first week of April but we'll end up having a scheduled C-section about a week early so the baby could be born end of March/beginning of April.

Time Flies

We have been so busy this summer, it just seems to have flown by.  I will now be playing catch up on a few posts.  Here are some pictures I sent to Justin to say good morning when he was gone for a month in Fort Stockton.  Levi is an early riser and definitely a morning person.  He did NOT get that from me.  So this is us hanging out in my bed after I got him up (these are a few different mornings) so Momma can lay down a bit longer while Levi crawls around the bed and plays with my travel alarm clock.  Also, the flash on my phone is SUPER BRIGHT that early in the morning so we could not keep our eyes open, lol.
