I know, I know we should have done this a long time ago. Finally, after getting so frustrated with Kodak and their one photo at a time upload...and then being too exhausted to then add captions, I decided enough is enough. So here we go...
First things first: Eli found his feet! Two days after his 4 month check up when the doctor asked me if he had found his feet and, after searching my memory bank trying to remember if I've seen him grab his feet or what "find his feet" even means, feeling like a bad mom 'cause I hadn't noticed this milestone, I replied "hmmm um, I don't know." And here we go. he loves his feet. And, apparently his thumb....fingers crossed that doesn't last.
We took my dad to the SF Zoo one sunny afternoon so he could experience the joy of watching/helping Jonah feed the giraffes. We pack up Eli, Jonah, snacks, jackets etc. Of course Jonah falls asleep in the car on the way there (he still refuses to nap at home but the second we are in the car he is out for over an hour) so we wake him up so we don't miss the 4pm feeding. As we happily walk 5 miles to the Zoo (okay not 5 miles but it felt like it!) in the brisk breeze, we remember previous feedings where Jonah has been licked, and has given bananas and leaves. Now that he is super excited to share this event with "papa" we should have expected a sign on the Giraffe Barn that read "closed today" oops. Here is a pic of my dad holding Jonah up while Jonah is yelling to the giraffes "sorry I can't feed you today giraffes, I'm sorry."
Then Eli got hungry/fussy so I had to feed him in front of the flamingos. That was good freezing times. My dad said that they were white when we got there (they blushed...get it?!). That's all for now. Eli is waking up and I have to get dressed before Chris and Jonah get home from My Gym.
