Sean had been really wanting to visit this zoo and we were happy to fit a visit in this summer. It was fun for me to see a place that he visited and went to camp when he was little.
Guyon loved seeing some of the animals and being able to get so close. It was also a great way to kick off Farm Week. Here are just a few of the photos from our visit there.

The smiles were more plentiful this month but man those canines were not fun to cut at all. You have started throwing temper tantrums a little bit though when we tell you know or take away something that you are wanting to play with at that time. Overall, you are so much fun to be around.

Anything. Everything.
You do like to throw your cup overboard off of your highchair.
We eat on the front porch pretty often and you do great in your outside highchair.

You wear number 4 diapers at daycare and at night time. You are still rocking your cloth diapers at home at night and on the weekends.

You pretty much put yourself to sleep these days. As long as you have your pacifier and blankets you are good to go. You only take one nap a day now.

Where I am with you…
How Big Are You?
What’s Your Temperament?
This month has been hard on you. You are cutting some teeth and they have made you fussy, snotty and whiny, especially in the afternoon. You seemed to come out of it towards last week though.
What Are You Eating?
Everything! Sometimes I wonder if you have a hollow leg! At dinner, it seems like we can never give you enough food. You also have figured out that if you don’t like something you do 1 of 2 things. You either spit the food back out gently or you throw it on the floor.
You now only drink out of your straw cups and you don’t seem to be dribbling as much out of your mouth as you used to around your birthday.
What Are you Sporting?
Still rocking your 12 month pants but only because mom doesn’t want to buy you all new pants. Everything else is either 18 months or 18-24 months.
You wear number 4 diapers at daycare and at night time. You are still rocking your cloth diapers at home at night and on the weekends.
How Are You Sleeping?
When daddy is gone, you are sleeping through the night like a champ. Sometimes you wake up but not very often. You also fall asleep on your own in your bed like a pro. The only night we had problems with you was when we put you to bed early for throwing your dinner all over the floor. You didn’t like that at all and it took you 2 hours to cry it out that night.
