We had several lovely spring days last week. The flowers are blooming and spring is finally here! Mia discovered the flowers in the backyard and even had a lesson in how to smell flowers from Daddy. She loves to dig in the dirt, points out birdies and she loves to pick up sticks in the front yard. Mia has also become the best fan at our softball games. She is learning to clap when we do well and everyone is cheering loudly, and she has several little friends that want to play with her during our games. They like her so much that they often tug at her arms and pull her this way and that. :)
We had a great trip to the National Zoo this past weekend with fellow FDA-ers and their kids. We saw the orangutans crossing the large outdoor ropes, elephants, tigers, and much more. Mia had her first run in with a small donkey and got to pet him, as well as some cute little goats. We went to see the lion and at first she didn't notice him... but after he let out a HUGE roar, she growled back at him. The best part about the zoo was that she got to try her first soft serve ice cream. With every bite, she would first frown and almost cry due to the shocking cold, but then let out a great big smile.
All good weather in D.C. must change sooner or later (usually sooner)....
When it rains... it pours! And it's been raining solid for over 24 hours now. With that being said, Mia sure loves puddle jumping. We put on her pink boots and she just splashes around like there's no better thing in the world. Not to mention, she tries to sit in the water. Since it's been raining, we've been getting a lot of reading time in. Mia sure does love it when we read to her. She will happily get a book from the shelf, walk over to one of us, and plop down in our laps. She's really learning how to turn the pages, and most of the time we actually finish the story, unlike earlier days.
We certainly are enjoying our little munchkin!
ZOO PICS!
So many good pics these two weeks we couldn't even come close to posting them all on top. So click here and here to see what you're missing! Also, make sure to scroll back to the end of the last post to check out the link to extra pictures from that week (that we were to lazy to post right away).
Until next time....
