Gentle Giraffes

By far the best animal display we saw ... I think David even looked at them. Maria was really into it. So cute!

Daddy Ride

Sitting on dad's shoulders is much more fun than looking at animals. Our friends Misty and Ryan joined us with their daughter Maria.

Elephant Walk

David wasn't too excited to see them, and they weren't too excited to see us.

Mother's Day at the Zoo

We decided to put those gifts from bryan to good use and hit the zoo. It was really windy, but there were a few things David loved ... like this swing. We are actually going to hang one up on the big tree in our backyard since he loved it so much! And thanks to Aunt Kathy for the cute outfit ... it was perfect for the weather.

Rolling Around

Just a few pictures of David rolling around on the floor and grabbing on to the coffee table.

Grinch Feet

Aunt Ginger always says Shelby's feet look like Grinch feet because of the hair, but after Bryan mowed the lawn they were all green like real Grinch feet.

Happy Nana's Day

David insisted we spend Friday with Nana for mother's day. She was happy to see him ... and his new hat.

Bird Watching

David was really listening to all the loud bird noises when we were outside yesterday.

Foot Savvy

David has been using his feet to pick up things and to shake around the toys on his playmat.

Cubs vs. Sox

Uncle Dan came over with his Sox hat on, so David had to show him his Cubs hat. He then told him to get out.

Finger Foods

David is mastering his pincer grasp and is learning how to pick up foods and put them in his mouth. This ends up being a very messy meal.

Silly Safari

More photos in the new hat.

Flying Baby

Bryan held on tight while David zoomed around the living room.

Serious Safari

Mother's day came early! Bryan got Hollie a stroller she wanted and a yearlong membership to the zoo so she can take David around. He also got this safari hat and matching shorts for David to go along with the theme. Bryan and David were very serious about it.

Drool Time

David was so happy when he got up from his nap today Hollie took a ton of pictures. It was hard to decide which ones to post. Most of them had drool.

Mommy's Bundle

Hollie is trying to keep David a little baby forever. This is right after a bath and then later, cozying up on the couch.

Building Something New

Hollie read about this tool set in a magazine and got it for David. He loves it! It plays songs and he sat for a long time with it the first day she brought it home.

New Jammies

Nana bought David some new duds because he is growing out of all of his clothes. Here he is snuggling with dad in some new jammies.
