The zoo with Mimi and Grandaddy

I'm sorry for the long lapse in posts...Mimi and Grandaddy came to visit and then Jbird got sick after they left - an ear infection AND a virus. We are now in "detox" from the illness...Jbird doesn't quite get why he isn't getting whatever makes him happy now that he is feeling better. He's developed a new scream and his temper tantrums are now grade A. We are just thankful to be back among the healthy.

During Mimi and Grandaddy's visit, we made Jbird's first trip to the zoo. He was not as interested as we had hoped. It ended up being the hottest day we had in over a week by 15-20 degrees so the animals weren't moving much. Jbird was much more interested in the water flowing through the exhibits. We did catch a few pictures before he fell asleep...

Notice that his eyes are focused down (on water) while his dad's are higher (on the animals). He did get a little intrigued with the gorillas at one point or maybe he was just excited he could stand on the rocks!
