One more trip to the zoo


Yesterday Jake and I went to the zoo for the third time in a little over a month. This time we went with a playgroup from church so there were about 15 kids or so and several moms to explore the zoo with. Jake was a bit cranky yesterday but managed to pet a few goats, see some fun animals, and enjoy a beautiful day. When Ty got home last night I asked Jake to tell his Daddy what he saw at the zoo and show him what the elephant did, and Jake did his elephant impression. His Aunt Destin taught him to do this: he raises up his head and makes a semi-elephant sound. Its really cute! Jake is definitely a man of few words, but he's coming along. He said bubbles yesterday for the first time. Most of the time he talks in his own little language and just laughs all day. His other new trick is trying to do the hand motions to "The Wheels on the Bus." His little arms are so short they don't quite make the wheel motion, but his attempt is really cute. He also spins in a circle as he plays along. Oh, he's so much fun!
Here are a couple of pictures from the group at the zoo. The first is most of the kids that were there--all we could round up anyway. The second is just one I thought turned out really well of the older kids having a sno cone.
This wasn't at the zoo, but on Wednesday Jackson came over to play with Jake and I snapped this picture of them. They got along great!

This is a random picture that I took Thursday night before we watched The Office. I got out the camera and Jake gave me this crazy smile. I'm not sure where he learned this, but it made me laugh. Ty is trying to ignore the camera in the background :)
