Lions & Tigers & Bears, Oh My!

We have had a busy past couple of days. On Friday we took our first family trip to the zoo. The Austin Zoo is not that big, but it was great because it was not crowded, you could see the animals close up and there was a petting zoo. Connor quacked most of the time, but did pick up a couple of new animal sounds along the way.

Then Friday night Connor went swimming for the first time. We had waded in a baby pool and gone to a sprinkler park, but this was his first time to actually get in. Daddy took him all over the pool! I didn't think he'd want to go in, so I didn't bother bringing my camera!! We will re-inact the pool scene again.

Saturday Con-man and I tried out The Little Gym and he was everywhere, laughing the entire time.
Saturday evening we went to a crawfish boil where there were 4 dogs to keep Connor entertained. Connor ended up being the hit of the party and we all had fun watching him talk to the dogs.

But the biggest thing about this weekend was that Connor started walking!! He had been taking a few steps here and a few steps there, but he actually stood up a few times and walked back and forth. Of course he prefers his silly bear crawls because he moves MUCH faster, but I bet by his first birthday he's going to be running! Pictures and (hopefully) video to follow soon.




His favorite animal sound to make--quack quack

One of the new sounds he learned at the zoo is that of a pig.
