Given his behavior in light of the company we've had in our house for the last four weeks, this is how I'm feeling about Eli some days. But I'll address that in another blog....
After threatening it for about six months, I finally took Eli to the
Atlanta Zoo today. Since Lehr took the week off and Mom-Mom is here, we figured it would be the best time to go. The weather was pretty muggy though, so after two hours Eli could barely see straight (even though as I type this he is still in his crib talking to Elmo and laughing.....he's been in there 'napping' like this for an hour now). He did enjoy
the flamingos and kangaroos, but most of the other animals were napping or 'resting' when we visited their exhibit, so Eli was not too impressed. (Who could blame them in this heat!?!) He liked the statues of animals almost more than the real thing! The picture above shows one of his many attempts to kiss the giraffe. Zoo Atlanta has a really neat kids' section, complete with a carousel and playground, so we'll be sure to hit that first next time. (Eli was way too tired to even get out of his stroller when we passed by this section today.) Maddux rode in the bjorn and napped most of the morning. She was obviously not too impressed.

Can you believe she is almost a month old? Time flies. Pictures are so cute. Ryan loved the zoo as well!
BTW ... I love the book who's title this post came from. So does ryan. He will bring it to me to read and I cry everytime when I get to the end!
