oh-TWO-doodles...a very happy birthday

Well, my baby boy turned 2

I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Can't he just stay little forever?

At his 2 year well child visit we learned that he is still in the 90th percentile for height and weight (future football player?). Everytime Dr. Loftus would check his ears, listen to his heart and lungs Dean would say, "Thank you Dogger!"

Dean was spoiled for his birthday. Great G&G Perry came to visit, Grandma Hess came all the way from Idaho to stay with us, Grandma Shirley sent him some fun stuff. Russ, ZZ, Bompa & Maw-mawk came to celebrate too! He even got a sleep over with G&G T and a trip to the aquarium!

Happy Birthday!

Our SEALIEST Day at the Zoo

April 11, 2014

I know. I know. This blog title is a terrible pun....so ZOO me ;)

We recently made a trip to the Hogle Zoo. It was Dean's first time to the zoo. We have been working on our animal sounds so, I was excited to show him the real live animals! Unfortunately a big portion of the zoo was still under construction so we weren't able to see his best animal noise--the king of the jungle, Mr. Lion. 

Besides the missing African animals, we had a blast! Grandma Kitty and ZZ joined us in our zoo adventure. It was a perfect day to be outside and talk with the animals. 

He insisted on pushing his stroller... 

He was really scared of the otter at first. It took some time to warm up to him but when he did... 

Otter got a smooch 

Dean's all time favorite animals were the sea lions and seals. 

I'm sure he could have spent HOURS staring into the water 

Reptile house with Da-Da. I took one step inside and immediately backed out. The smell is usually pretty strong but with my prego-sniffer, it was horrendous! 

Get it?? Cuz I'm big like an elephant... 

Perfect Zoo Day!
