First Trip to the Zoo

This weekend wasn't very exciting, but last weekend we went with some friends to the zoo! Olivia instantly fell in love. Below is the day in photos:

Olivia and I, ready for the big day.

At first Olivia was a cautious observer. I had to point out all of the cool creatures and tell her what they were.



It didn't take long until she got the hang of it. Most of the day went like this:

Olivia - Point

Me - "That's a (fill in a blank)"

Olivia - Clap, laugh and sometimes try the word out herself (she is very good with bird)

Our friend Alison holding Olivia during a shade break (the temperature was in the high 90's) Olivia showing off that she is taller than one animal at the zoo!
A family picture!


While looking at the elephants Olivia's point, clap and laugh were a lot less animated. As soon as I put her against my shoulder she was down for the count. Besides the airplane this is her first nap in someone's arms since she was 2 months old. I loved every second of it!
