ZOO!!!

Yesterday Ava took her first trip to the Zoo! We went with Roger's family. Ava's Grandma, Aunt, and three of her cousins are in town, so it was a fun day, although very long. And while the sharks, bears, giraffes and lions held her attention momentarily, she was out cold in about 2 hours. I then had to wake her up so that we could go on the train, but she did a great job at the zoo! She was pointing at all of the animals, and some non-specific objects along the way. She also had some of my cheese pizza for lunch and got to be held by everyone along the way:) Of course, I forgot my camera, so hopefully I'll get some pics from Grandma if/when she posts them on Facebook.

Yesterday was also Ava's second time at a water park:) She had some mixed feelings about that. For the first 30 minutes, she was content to splash around in the water, but then started having a few mini-meltdowns, nothing too bad though. I think that some of the shooting fountains scared her a little bit. Overall, she had a great day with the family and did a great job for being out and about all day long with only one very, very short nap.

We got home late, and unfortunately were accosted by our WT neighbor's loose pitbull. I was NOT happy. As we were going up to our front door, the dog literally ran at us and was pushing up on the backs of my legs as I (hands shaking) unlocked the door, rushed in and slammed the door behind me. I am SO OVER their stupid dog. He is always loose and we have had to call Animal Control before when Ava was about 3 months old.

Anyways, what an exhausting day! Luckily Ava didn't even notice the crazy dog, she was passed out and went straight to bed when we got home. Today she has her 9 month doctor's appointment and then we are off for another fun-filled adventure with the family:) Another long day! WOOOOHOOO! :)

I LOVE MY LITTLE BUNNY!! <3
