Day 16 - Brookfield Zoo

Checking out the monkeys

Dude means serious business with that look.

Mini-Me likes watching the geese

Hello Goat!

There were 2 penguins right there, it looked like they were kissing, so I told Mini-Me "look they are kissing" and she leaned into kiss them!

Today was a perfect day, weather was beautiful, upper 60s, a bit breezy.  So Mini-Me and I went to the zoo with a good friend and her daughter. I guess I could say, that I went with a good friend and Mini-Me went with a good friend of hers! The girls are only a day apart in age and get along really well.  Great day with great company and weather. Love days like this, and they also make me appreciate that much more how lucky.

Day 15 - Story Time

I had a hard time picking today's photo.  Mini-Me loves to read books, and will sit and read almost anytime. Tonight before she headed upstairs for bed, she was reading Mickeys Alphabet with Matt.  They got to the "K is for Kiss" and she knows what a kiss is! Love that I captured the moment. 

Day 14 - Cuddling

Mini-Me is not one to cuddle at all. When she is really tired or not feeling well is about the only time she'll sit still long enough for this momma to get some quality cuddling time in.  This was one of those moments. Ahhh, I'll take it, even if it involves watching the furry red monster known as Elmo and his Robot friend.

Day 13 - The Perfect Seat

Mini-Me, my mom and I all went to Septemberfest this morning, which is a tradition for Labor Day weekend.  There is a craft fair, carnival with games and rides, concerts, local dance and bands, and food.  I've gone every year my entire life, and as long as we live around here Mini-Me will, too.  So while we were wandering through the craft fair, Mini-Me was walking and saw the rock wall and starts running toward it, "jump jump" so after her first jump off of the little step, she sits down, which means its the perfect size seat for Mini-Me.

Day 12 - Reading

Mini-me took off running toward the downstairs bathroom, I asked her what she was doing, she says "read" I walked into find her sitting on the floor reading a triathlon magazine. I'm sure she made her dada proud!

Day 11 - Lunch

Mini-Me is finally getting much better at using a spoon. Lunch isn't nearly as messy as it once was, its still messy but at least its baby steps!!

Day 10 - Popsicle

Mini-Me is addicted to popsicles. Every night after dinner she use to have a cookie, and then we introduced her to popsicles, and now she gets the choice between a cookie and a popsicle.  Her response before the question is done being asked "popcle, popcle, yummm"
