The Zoo May 2010

This past week Matt and I both took some time off work and we took Jacob to the St. Louis Zoo. We took him there last fall and he slept through the majority of the day. This time was much different and Jacob LOVED it.
He did think everything was either a 'kitty' or a 'dog'. The bigger animals (including the elephants) were dogs and the little ones were a kitty. The only thing that stumped him was the fish. The highlight of Jacob's day was definitely the carousel. He loved riding it and thought he was hot stuff riding up so high. He had so much fun he was exhausted when we left and fell asleep before we even got to the car.
Can't wait for our next trip!! Below are a few pics from our day!

Jacob petting the goats! He loved them and wanted to pet each one.

Jacob playing in the children's zoo.

Obviously Jacob didn't find it as fun to sit on the frog as I thought he would. Had to keep the pic though.

Family shot on the train at the zoo!

Jacob and mommy at the penguin house. As you can see he really liked it in there because the penguin's get so close. There is one swimming in the water in this picture and he got to touch them as they did their flips in the water.

Jacob and mommy on the carousel - definitely his favorite part!

Right before he fell asleep - this is right outside the zoo. By the time we walked to the history museum to get to the car he was out!

It was also mommy's b-day this weekend and Jacob helped mom open her presents. He did so much better than at Christmas or his Birthday. He's gonna be ready for this Christmas!

Jacob and Nonna reading books

Enjoying a cupcake for mom's birthday! He ate it all - and then proceeded to throw it all up (on great-grandma Bayerl) a few minutes later.. YUMMY!

Reading books with Great-Grandpa Bayerl. As you can tell, reading is one of Jacob's favorite things to do.
