Yesterday we went to the zoo with a friend and her 1-year old boy. It was great to get to know Jenny and Blake (I met her through one of my mommy groups) and hope to see more of both of them, but I sure missed Alice, Megan and Sandy and Grayden, Aria and Emily and all those visits to National Zoo! It was a beautiful day for a zoo visit and we really saw a lot. Unfortunately, about 10 minutes after Sofia fell asleep for a much needed nap, we came upon an owl exhibit with a barn owl and handler not 25 feet away! I did take a video which Sofia LOVES to watch over and over. Nothing much happens but she sqealls "WOW-OWL" each time! We also saw an Eagle Owl who kept looking at us, which she enjoyed earlier in the day. Now that she's mobile, it's difficult to take her in and out of the jogging stroller and yet she's still in her 'zen-like walk' as CK calls it - she meanders every direction and isn't very focused on walking forward in any one direction. So, by the end of the day we were both exhausted but had a very fun time at the zoo!
All set in her jogging stroller - Looking at flamingos with baby and puppy.

Sofia and the Bengal Tiger (the blur in the background) - Also, she loves when her Papa writes her name on her arm and says "Sopia" when you ask what her name is.

This is a Burrowing Owl, which is located in Texas and Arizona and lives in holes. They are only about 1 foot high and very cute.

I liked this picture because if you ignore the fence in the background it reminds me of our honeymoon.
