Zoo Baby

We went to Toledo again. It was mid-60's out and sunny, which made for happy zoo critters. There were at least 3 primate babies - a gibbon, orangutan, and spider monkey. Can't remember which one is pictured, other than it's not the orang.

The polar bear cub is 10 months old now. He was less than a pound at birth and is over 200 lbs now. That's some growth curve.

Again, Solomon was thrilled at the animal antics. It's hard to get a photo of him enjoying the animals due to bad angles, so you'll have to make due with these shots of him discovering a crane statue and just being thrilled to be at the zoo.

The playscape was our lunch spot - he hardly slowed down for bites of pb&j.

Water Baby

Better late than never...

Wolf Lake with Nany to visit cousin Cookye. Solomon thoroughly hated the life jacket at first. We left those photos out.

Independence Lake became nearly a weekly outing.

The backyard oasis, with Grandpa and Grandma S.

Every Day's A Holiday

We celebrated the Labor Day on Sunday, since Daddy had to go out of town for a funeral on Monday. We spent the morning at Calder Dairy Farm. Noticeably absent are photos of Solomon with any of the myriad animals. This would be because he isn't so fond of them. Now replacing goats as the number one hated critter are geese. I think it's the honking. Solomon couldn't decide if he wanted Mommy to carry him closer to the cows, or get away as fast as possible. Later in the day, Natalie and her folks came over with their most tasty ribs. Mmm...ribs. Natalie gave lessons in kissing. First the dog statue. Then The Boy. The last shot is Solomon demonstrating one of his favorite activities: eating.

Don't Say Cut

We've got some catching up to do. But, giving my recent pace of updating the blog, I figured we'd better start with recent events instead of focusing on the past.

Solomon got his first real haircut (I mean "trim") on Saturday. You know, the kind not done by Mommy in the tub. At first, he wasn't sure about the whole thing. Then he seemed to think it was groovy. He didn't sit still for the after shot, but we got him on the move.

Here we are later that same day, on the way to a wedding. Yeah, and in case you didn't know, Mommy's pregnant. Not much hiding it here.
