This morning we went to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park (Wild Animal Park). Connor had just fallen asleep when we got there, so he was dozing in and out while we were there. We visited the butterflies first.
We were hoping a butterfly would land on Connor's head, but they didn't. One briefly landed on Peter's hat, but that was about it. They were very pretty to look at. We were glad we made it there this year. (Last year I passed out while in line, so we missed the butterfly experience.)
I got a big grin right as we entered the butterfly exhibit and then he started dozing off.
Next we went to the Lorikeets-Connor was nearly asleep and wanted nothing to do with the birds. He didn't even look at them or care when there were three squawking in his ear.
Then we went on the tram and got to see this baby-Eric is 8 months old and over 500 pounds, he's in the back, his momma is the one eating.
After getting off the tram it was super hot out. We were all sweaty and it wasn't even noon yet, so we decided to head out. On our way out we stopped by the nursery and saw this cute little guy.
It was a great morning. We got home, ate lunch, turned the AC on and all took a nap.
Connor update:
* He has found his feet and can put them in his mouth. He's also great at pulling his socks off.
* He still can aim and squirt his daddy during diaper changes.
* Loves to talk
* We've upgraded from squeals to genuine laughs, they're hard to come by, but downright adorable to hear.
* He's totally a ladies man, so this was quite appropriate:
Sunday was a busy day. We woke up, checked out what the Easter Bunny brought us and then got ready for church. After church, we came home briefly and then went to my parents' house for an early dinner. Afterward we had dinner at Peter's parents' house. We came home stuffed and exhausted. Perhaps next year Connor will get a thrill out of finding eggs and such.
Connor has been enjoying tummy time lately.
These last three pictures are from this past week.
You know the old saying "I can smell ____ a mile away." Well it's true for Peter. For Easter we brought potatoes and green beans to my parents' house and rolls and pie to his parents' house. When we got home from my parents' house we threw the rolls in the oven and cooked them. Peter put them in a basket and as we were heading out the door he says, "Do you want to take the rolls or the baby to the car?" I said, I'd rather take the rolls as they're not as heavy. So we get in the car and drive literally a mile or two and Peter says, "MMM the rolls smell good." My response- "Oh no! I left the rolls on the table!!!" This was followed with me busting into laughter. "Uh how do you smell the rolls, when I forgot to bring them?" Apparently Peter can smell rolls a mile away.
