Trip to the Zoo!
The weather has continued to be gorgeous here and before it gets too hot I thought it would be a great idea to take you to the zoo. So off we went this morning to catch the animals. We went at the perfect time. They were all getting their meals and it wasn't too hot so they were all out to be seen. I think your favorite animals were the giant rabbits (they were in a glass cage that you could get right next to), the goats that you were able to pet, the bear that was once again right next to the glass, and the birds. I was excited to see the giraffes and lions.

A Trip to Washington
We haven't been to Washington to visit your Nana P and G-Gma Linda in a little over a year, so it was our turn to make a visit since they have been out here twice. Grandpa gave us discounted tickets so we made the trip up to visit this past weekend. What a great time we had! You have changed so much since the last time that they saw you that everything you did was just amazing to them. We stayed with Brooke and Marlon and were able to visit the late hours of the day away laughing and enjoying each others company.
The first day we got there since we were in Seattle we decided to go to the Mariners game. Neither your Dad or I have ever been to a professional baseball game so it was exciting. It was Felix's 1500th strike out so there were tshirts passed out, posters and more. Although it was a little chilly we had a fabulous time. Yes the Mariners aren't a great team, but it was actually a very close game and they only lost by one run. We met up with Brooke and Marlon afterwards at Applebees for some drinks and snacks (by then you were asleep).
Friday you and I spent the day with your Nana. She loved up on you and we had a great time visiting with her and your Uncle Ryan. You were very into her kitties. Friday night we ate over at Brook and Marlon's. You stole their hearts and were in love with their dog Ginger. You chased her all over the house. Their other dog is a baby just like you, so you two were peas in a pod running around the house causing trouble.
On Saturday we went over to Nanas again. You got to meet your great Aunt Angie and Great Papa Cal for the first time. They both fell in love with you instantly. Uncle Ryan and Jessica played with you and showed you the cat's hiding places. Late Saturday we went back to Brooke and Marlon's and you fell fast asleep.
Sunday was a pretty short day since we had to go home. We had enough time to sleep in some (you are going through a growth spurt you slept 12 hours, when you normally only sleep 10.5 to 11 hrs a night) and pack in the morning. We grabbed some breakfast at the airport and then let you play in the children's play area. You were shy and timid at first but then were running around and sliding down the slide like a pro (much to your mom's amazement and sadness as I realized you are growing up WAY too fast).
In typical form, you were a model child on the flights even when there were many other babies on the planes crying (including one only 2 weeks younger than you). You are such a great little traveler!

Easter
This year's Easter was so much fun with you. Your eggs were filled with toddler friendly snacks of goldfish, mini marshmallows, and cheerios. When we got you up in the morning and took you downstairs we showed you the Easter basket you got first. This was a small mistake since you were so excited about your basket findings that you weren't really interested in your eggs at first. The basket consisted of books, bubbles, a dustpan, socks, sunglasses, and a few other odds and ends. You were so engrossed in your basket that we finally opened an egg to show you there were goodies in them. This got your attention right away. From that point on you spent your time sitting down with an egg and eating its contents. We couldn't get you to gather all of your eggs at once because you were only concerned with the food inside. Your Dad and I found this quite amusing. Along with the fact that you weren't interested in any of the eggs that had cheerios in them and would immediately throw any egg containing cheerios away. So your process for the next few days consisted of shaking an egg to find out if you had already emptied its contents, then cheering if it still had something in it and running over to us to open it. Once opened you would chow down as long as there were no cheerios. Your Dad and I started feeling bad for you so we started filling the contents with more marshmallows or goldfish. A few days later we decided to put the eggs away and save the fun for next year. You were decked to the nines and looked like a little man in your Easter outfit, which was a birthday gift from Joe and Coco.
