Today, J and I went to the zoo.
We saw bears.
We saw eagles.
We saw penguins.
We saw a giraffe. (Doesn’t that dead tree thing look like another giraffe?)
J tried to eat the seal exhibit.
We saw fish. (Okay, you can’t see any here, but I promise there were some!)
We missed the real baby elephant, but we did see a small elephant!
And we learned that J is much smaller than bears.
Overall, we had a great Saturday. Did you?
I didn’t realize how much he needs a haircut until this photo. 
Okay, I am a little late with this, but better late than never, huh?
If you know us, you will not be surprised that G decided to be a Jedi Knight and then J was Yoda of course!
The evening was tough for J, so he took a little Yoda nap on the couch.
I think J really liked being part of the Star Wars world. He loves the taste a light saber!
It has been a while since we have uploaded the pictures from our camera. I have picked a few to show here what J has been up to lately. Enjoy!
If J is repeating a word but doesn’t know what it means, does it count as his first word?
-J has thrush. His purple goth lips provided by the treatment, Gentian Violet.
-I made dog biscuits!
-J got his first self-inflicted injury from exploring the house. (Please note that he is not dirty, but still has the goth lips as seen above, and is eating a baby cookie and not one of the dog treats!)
Can you see that tiny red speck there above his lip? Yep, there it is.
Don’t get me wrong, I love him no matter what. But this is definitely easier to miss!
Today we went to target to get some new toys. Bath toys! Tonight was J’s first big boy bath (before this we have just been taking him into the shower with us). Although it did not go terribly, it did not go well.
He was not really sure what to do and what the hell was happening to him. So, he was cranky.
He was so upset at first that Jazz, who is not a fan of baths and the tub, jumped in to save him! G and I were shocked. And he stayed in the bath the whole time with J, watching us to make sure that we weren’t doing anything mean to the baby. I did not understand just how much Jazz protects J until that moment.
Here are the best of the photos we took from this event. Enjoy! (Be sure to note Jazz at J’s side in each photo.)
Yes, he is crawling towards the dogs’ food bowls, but whatever works, you know?
