St. Patrick's Day...Carmen's first time to visit the zoo. It's spring break here, so kids are out of school. Carmen was Alisa's only kid at daycare, so she asked if they could take her on their family trip to the Zoo. Why not! Alisa said she had a ball. She really liked riding the train (adult sized that you take from point A to point B) & to no surprise, she especially liked the monkeys. Somehow I thought she might get a kick out of the monkeys, since she is one herself most days! :) Alisa has promised me she'll send pictures, so I'll post those when I get them!

I think her shirt won her a few extra kisses for the day. There were make up marks on her shirt to prove it, too! ALISA?!?!

Do you see attitude in this picture? I do! I think it's because of how her left arm looks - like she has it on her hip?

She discovered the stuff bunny sitting beside her (covering up the vent in case she lost her balance). She was concentrating so hard and really checking out the eye.

Yummmm, avacado! This is the messiest her little face has been. Isn't it cute? She does really well at keeping her hands down, it only took a few times of us gently pushing her hands down & saying "hands down please" for her to get it!

Tonight was her first time trying avacado. She liked it! She is now eating 2 cubes of vegetables at night (ice cube tray cube). She is diggin' the veggies! So far she's had green beans, sweet potatoes, & avacado. Not sure what will be next!

She started making this noise tonight while eating. We were humored.

That's Brian in the background, by the way (just in case you thought Carmen slipped home a monkey from the Zoo). ;)

Pictures from when Aunt Lori, Haley & Austin visited this past weekend! She has a lot of hair on top, but just not quite enough for the Missouri Tigers bow!

I don't know if you can see it or not. I tried to get video of her "sucker" lips. This is what she does when she's hungry! It's a nice que to have since she's going longer in between feedings. You can also see how well she's doing grabbing the bottle & getting it into her mouth. She is still working on tipping it up. ;)
