First Trip to the Zoo

Last Tuesday we took our first family trip to the Brookfield Zoo. We woke up in the morning and it looked like it was going to rain on our parade, but it ended up being a perfect day. It was even too hot at times carrying around a 15 pound monkey :) Oden is so interested in everything going on around him. When there is a lot to see, he is a very quiet little boy. While changing a diaper in the grass, we were nearly attacked by a goose! Jess had to chase him off with the stroller! It was quite a sight! Overall, it was a very fun day.

Two Sundays ago, Oden attended his first birthday party. Our friends, Kerri and Paul, had a party to celebrate their daughter, Alayna's first birthday. It was so cute. There were three babies one year old or younger at the party. He was very well behaved and of course, everyone commented on how big he is.

Oden is currently fighting some kind of virus. We took him to the doctor on Monday, she said it just has to run it's course. I feel so bad for him. He is very congested, and you can tell he has a sore throat at times. We are doing everything we can for him, so hopefully he gets better soon! BTW....he is 15 pounds now!
