At the bird house, Julian raised his hand every time she asked a question, and he got to be the one she demonstrated on. He loved it. Chris and I were wondering where he got his personality trait that is so NOT shy.
So hard to get a natural smile these days.
I love my big boy. Mommy and Julian. It was just he and I for so long.
Posing on the bear statue.
Posing outside the reptile house. Julian's favorite.
Notice he wanted a picture of him with the crocodile behind him.

We had a great weekend this week. Friday, I met Chris at our pediatrician's office because the babies had to get part of their 6 month vaccines and the flu shot. I made him go with me to help, so that both babies could get comforted after the shots. Chris dreaded it all day, and had to sit down while the nurse gave them to the babies. But he got home with me at a regular time which was nice. Saturday, I got out for a little therapy shopping and a trip to target and chick-fil-a. That was the best day for me. Then Sunday, we woke up and got ready to head to Philadelphia. Anne graciously agreed to watch the babies while Chris and I went to the zoo with julian. We had a great time. It was a beautiful sunny day(in the 70's) and Julian got one on one time with both of us at the same time, which is rare these days. He had a great time, and it reminded us how easy a family of 3 was (especially with an independent 5 yr old) We'll take those special moments when we can get them. We then had a great dinner at Anne's and spent some time with Lorena and Joey also.

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving, and then Christmas. So much coming up.
