A Zoo Date with Porter

This weekend, while daddy took Penny to a birthday party, Porter and I enjoyed an hour at our zoo. We practiced words, signs and walking. We watched the monkeys for awhile to get warm...the wind was chilly! 

We monkeyed around a bit ourselves. And missed our Penny while we watched Penny the alligator hang out in her pool.

We watched the chickens. They are colorful and active and all sorts of captivating.

He studies them, mesmerized. 

And just before we head home, we look at the big birds one last time.

He's starting to communicate his wants at the zoo. He likes the owl ("ow"), the bison and the parrots. He asks for the monkeys and chicken. He's starting to remember the zoo :) I can't wait to build memories here this summer.
