Fun at the Zoo
Thanks to our pass, I take the kids to the zoo a couple times a month. Cole has his favorites (flamingos, hippos, monkeys, playground and goats) but he was willing to switch it up a bit with Daddy around. The elephants, polar bears and new koala exhibit didn't disappoint!

Touch a Truck
Yesterday was the big event of the year! I worried Hayden would be scared of the horns, but she was a trooper. She slept the first half hour, walked most the time we were there and didn't flinch once. It being Cole's third year, didn't think there would be an issue but he was a bit scared at times. Nothing a hot pretzel and the Robosaurus show couldn't fix!
*Kudos to Tom - He helped them on Friday for 5 hours... Got up at 5:30am Saturday morning and helped them set-up... Walked around with us from 10-3pm... And then stayed for 3 hours to help them clean-up. He's amazing!

Hayden - Eleven Months
Same story, different month - So sweet and snugly one minute and crazy the next!
Hayden is Cole's biggest fan. She gets upset if he's crying and tries to console him. He has a construction toy that has music buttons. He likes to push them and walk in circles pumping his fists. She has recently picked up this 'dance' move much to my delight. After we put him to bed, she runs to the hallway door, pushes it open and goes to their room. If she knows you're on to her, she'll break into a sprint. Some nights we have to get up and chase her 20-30 times. Putting a gate there will be a pain, but will hopefully make evenings more enjoyable.
Firsts: Clapping, High-5, Da-Da (May 21st)
Likes: Standing on the train table, playing hide-n-seek, swiping Cole's toys/snacks/sippy cup and running away with a smile, clapping, driving us bonkers, bananas, looking disheveled, eating sand, going outside/exploring (never cries), high-5's, spinning in circles, pacifiers, picking her nose, waving clothes/putting them on her head, playing Peek-a-Boo
Dislikes: The word "No", wearing barrettes, our house
When she's upset, she loves to let everyone know - My favorite is when she'll sit and slowly lower her head to show her pain. Trouble is she does it on carpet AND cement (hence the bruise on her forehead).
She's feisty, but we wouldn't change her personality for the world (remind me I said this when she's 13). She's bright, fun and keeps us laughing!
