Today we had a marvelous day at the zoo. It was a late morning for us with the time change, Lucy had a restless night, so she and I slept in until 8:00am while Jeremy got Ava up. By the time we got to the zoo, it was about 11:00am, but it was a leisurely morning. We went on our usual route around the zoo, starting with the monkey trail, winding through the canopies, down to the hippos and up the eagle trail to Elephant Odyssey. Ava ran a lot of the way with Jeremy, it was so cute! Lucy sat up in the stroller and was so alert, looking around and taking it all in. The elephants were working with their trainers, so that was fun to see too, of course, Ava could care less...she just wanted to run! We got Ava some "tube guys" from the gift shop, we got the Down Under Toob with Australian animals and she couldn't be happier. After the zoo, we had some lunch at the Prado. Delicious as usual.
Lucy napped when we got home and Ava played in the sandbox. When Lucy woke up, Ava gave her a baccio! I was so excited! I couldn't believe my eyes, Ava actually let Lucy give her a kiss! Lucy gives those wonderful baby big mouth kisses and just loves to give them over and over again on our cheeks. She is just the sweetest, most adorable baby ever!! Then Ava let her give her kisses two more times! And she gave her toys too! (well, she chucked toys at Lucy's head, but I'll take it).

Lucy is now eating 2 meals a day. In addition to her bottles, she has 2 big bowls of rice cereal with carrot. She gets so excited for her "meals" it is too cute! She opens her mouth so wide, and she is getting better at swallowing and not just pushing the food out. She sits up well enough in her high chair now which makes feedings so much easier. She is also rolling back to front now without the harness on. That is such a relief since she stopped rolling when she got the harness on a month ago, but now she is rolling like a champ!

In potty news, Ava had her first accident free day since her early potty days! Yes! Oh, and my new favorite Ava sentence for this week that she likes to say over and over, "My name is Skippy Jon Jones but I pretend to be a Chihuaua but I'm really a Siamese Cat!" That and the fact that now she in introducing herself as "Ricky Racoon" her "alter-ego".
Anyway, we had a great day!
