Busy Long Weekend

So much activity this weekend! Alex's cousin got married, so Alex went to his first wedding and got to see lots of family and some beautiful gardens. The bride was lovely (as you can see below) and Alex did great with all the goings on. This was his first time staying at a hotel and, even better, his first swim in a pool! Not surprisingly, he loved it! We also went to a barbeque and took several walks. We love three day weekends!

Down on the Farm

Alex had his first trip to the zoo yesterday! We didn't go into the main zoo, but we went to the farm in the zoo, so that counts. We were at the Green City Farmers Market and since we had parking and were right across the street we decided to walk over to the farm section of the zoo for a little while. (Yay for free zoos!) We saw lots of the animals that we sing about in "Old MacDonald," including chickens, cows, and a pony.

Having a Ball

Horrible pun, I know, but it fits. A friend of mine gave us the great suggestion of getting ball pit balls for the baby pool. Since today was a nice day, we broke them out for the first time. Alex was a little uncertain at first, but ended up having a good time, as you can see.

Rub-a-dub-dub

Alex has a new tub. He continues to really like bath time and immediately took to the new blow-up bath in the big tub. He also really loves his rubber duckies!

Name That Tune

Alex has been banging out tunes all week on his new piano. We're expecting his first concerto any day now. : )
