More Catching-Up

20 Weeks: August 10 - 16

This week marked the official end of summer for me and Brandon. We had a great time together, but as always it went entirely too fast for my liking.

Brandon loves to hang out in his crib. The talks to the animals and even pets them. It is so funny to walk in and he is staring at the monkey 'fussing' at it. He has very serious faces when he is deep in conversation.

Talking to the monkey.

Not happy! I like the pictures of him crying, mean I know.

I just needed my binky.

How quickly my mind changes. The before.

The AFTER!

Brandon has been trying to sit up for several weeks now. He is not quite there, but he thinks he is. We try to prop him up with pillows, not very successful.

Timber!

So close!

Yummy Cereal and Toast!

Um, you got the wrong side of the spoon.

Mmmmm, good!

Look at me Mommy!

All done!

Off to the Zoo

Daddy and I took Brandon on his first trip to the zoo. We thought it would be a great way to cap off the summer, since I had to return to school the next day. Plus, as much as Brandon talks to his animals in his crib, he was sure to love the zoo. It was really fun, but goodness it was HOT!!!! I got Brandon all ready for the zoo, even dressing him in his animal outfit. You will see how that turned out! We packed a bag and off we went on our grand adventure.

Mommy, I am ready!

I am going to see animals!

All smiles and drool as we get ready to leave.

Brandon sitting like a big boy outside the gate. He did not stay like this for long.

Brandon loved the aquarium and the reptile house. After thinking about it, that is probably because he could not see the other animals because they were too far away. Duh, Mommy why did you not think about that!

Me and the fishies.

Brandon and the piranha

Me, Mommy, and the zebra

Brandon was sweating like crazy, so we stopped for a sip of water. He does not really drink it per say. He just sucks it into his mouth and then spits it back out down his chin. Too funny!

Um, water!

Daddy thought it would be a good idea for Brandon to touch the snake. We just got a picture.

TOO HOT!!!

We shucked Brandon clothes about 45 minutes after getting there. It was incredibly hot! I like how his feet are propped up on the tray.

Hang out at the zoo.

Holding my own cup!

Cooling off!

They had misters throughout the park, and we took full advantage of them.

Baby and Baby Elephant!

Shortly after the elephant we decided it was too hot and left. We have plans to go back when it is cooler and when Brandon can SEE the animals!

Just eating and enjoying my toast!

I have to cram it in my mouth!
