Visit to the Zoo!!

We took Philip to the zoo this weekend. Mommy has been working most Saturdays lately, so this was our first Saturday all together in a long time.

Philip seemed to enjoy climbing on the benches, running, and being outside.

The animals were secondary to everything else.

Philip is not a big fan of being carried or held anymore. He wants to be "down" and walking on his own.

Here's Philip with the Elephants.

The tiger was one of the few animals that held his attention for more than 5 seconds.

Riding the train was a favorite.

Especially sitting down on his own.

ABeeC's

Philip (20 months old now) knows his letters. Watch the prodigy in action:



He can also count to 10, so long as you give him a little leeway with the number 7 which is typically omitted.

Here's another video of Philip bee-ing silly:

Philip and the Cat

This is Philip and my parents' neighbor's cat.

Philip LOVES this cat.
He always tries to put his head on the cat to "hug" it.

Sometimes the cat allows this to happen...

Sometimes the cat runs away just in time.

Easter Bunny Visit

The Easter Bunny came to visit Philip!

He loved his new crayons and plates!

He got an Elmo coloring book.

The Easter Eggs had candy inside!

He loved the chocolate.
"Yummy!"
Back to coloring.

Philip also had some gifts from Nana and Granddad.
Some new books, a chocolate bunny, and The Runaway Bunny!

Easter Egg Hunt

We went to the Easter Eggstravaganza at church yesterday. Here's Philip and Daddy watching the puppet show.
There also had a fun bounce house to play in with animals to climb on.

Philip's favorite was this alligator.

Philip also hunted Easter eggs - here's a big one that he found!

Philip really liked the balloons much better than the eggs.
The Easter Bunny also made an appearance before his busiest day of the year!
Philip liked to touch his soft ears.

Helping Daddy Rake

Dad, I'll rake for you!

Raking is fun!
I can lift the rake high in the air.
Okay - I'm done now. Time to play.

Are these ants, Dad?

Where should I put this rake?

I'll just leave it here. Dad will get it later.
