Second, I wanted to post some pictures from our day spent with Pagger Don and Gigi at the zoo. They were flying home from Florida and extended their layover at the Houston airport so they could have a quick visit with us.
We picked them up from the airport, went to the zoo, had lunch and drove them back to the airport. Considering they had gotten up at 4:30am that day to make their first flight, I'd say they were total troopers for taking the time to walk all over the zoo with us. Connor had a great time and I know he was really happy to see them, even if it was brief. Enjoy some photos from our day at the zoo.
When we first got to the zoo, we realized that they were displaying the elephants taking a bath, so we went over to the elephant exhibit and watched. It was pretty neat to see them getting a bath and eating and doing some tricks. There were some big elephants and a few babies. Connor was very intrigued.
Checking out the lions. Is that Simba?
Scoping out the monkeys. Here is also a nice shot of my protruding belly. Oh boy.
After lots of animal sitings, we headed over to the carousel. Gigi rode with Connor and had a great time as you can see from these pictures. Every time he rode by us he was laughing and smiling really big.
Connor and Gigi, both laughing. Riding a lion is awesome!
"This ride is great!"
We left the zoo and had lunch right in the same Hermann park area. Connor worked up an appetite walking all over the zoo and checking out animals. There was a lake there too and here he is running over the bridge. It wasn't a particularly beautiful day, but it wasn't too cold or too hot, so we made it work.
Here we are checking out the birds in the lake and throwing rocks.
Daddy and son bonding by the lake.
Here is just a random picture Jeff took of Connor. It is a common site for him to be throwing footballs around our house.
Connor is not all that into legos yet, but we did have fun one day building a "structure." It's a little lopsided, but I still think it's wonderful. A building only a mother could love. Ha!
Also, I should give a little potty training update. This weekend we decided to go all underwear, all the time. It was a little daunting when we were out and about, but Connor was a champ. He did have a few accidents, but overall he did great. Sometimes he vehemently resists us taking him to the potty, but even so, he usually goes most of the time and other times, he is more than happy to cooperate, so we are just following his lead. Also, it's now three days in a row that he has pooped in the potty, which I know for many kids is a really difficult step to overcome. I am very proud of my little potty training buddy. He's officially on the potty train...choo, choo.
