Zoo

Last Thursday we decided to brave the potential weather and hit the Abilene Zoo.  I grew up taking zoo trips once or twice a year with other friends and families so I was pleasently surprised with how much they have improved it over the years.  Monte was just old enough to really "get it" and loved looking at the animals although I think his favorite part was running up and down the ramps, hills, and bridges! 

We have been trying to teach him about snakes and that we don't touch them since we have rattlers around here to the reptile house proved to be a great opportunity for him to see a real snake and not just a picture and learn "no no no no!!!"

He also got to try his first hot dog which he was pretty unimpressed with...

Kit won't take a bottle but did enjoy chewing on the nipple a lot.  I would squeeze some down his mouth often too help keep him cool and hydrated.  He did great in the stroller and looked around and "talked" a lot!

Growing up, my favorite part was always the giraffes and turns out it was my favorite part as an adult too!  Monte even got brave enough to feed one himself! 

Turned his cap backward for the first time and oh my gosh is he cute!! haha I know I'm a little biased but really, there's nothing cuter than a chubby, sweaty, little boy!

We capped off the day with a little furniture shopping... ahhh it's so hard to choose!  Any living room furniture advice would be greatly welcomed!  haha
