Samuels Mommy: Lions and Tigers and Bears...Oh My!

Lukas experienced his first trip to the zoo today. Yes, it was 22 degrees out...but when you have been trapped in the house by frigid conditions for 3 days, that seems quite warm! There are actually many inside exhibits. Apparently most people don't know that though...there were about 20 cars in the parking lot. This made it perfect for us because we were able to break the no stroller rules very easily! Lukas slept through a lot of it but was awake for the penguins, gorillas and dolphins. He really liked it! He stared at the animals and talked to them. Going to the zoo was something I was so excited to do this with Lukas this summer...but we decided not to wait so long! This got us to talking about all the really fun things we will get to experience with him this summer and we cant wait!

Lukas added peas to his diet this week and really loves them. (Daddy wanted to vomit while feeding them to Lukas!) Lukas is sitting up more and more. The baby update says he should start saying a syllables VERY SOON. I am really pushing for Ma and Daddy is hoping for Da:) It sounds like an animal farm around here as we try to teach him syllables through animal sounds.

We love this little man more than we could have EVER imagined! It has been said that you never really appreciate your parents until you have children of your own. I get it now. Every decision we make, waking hour and pieces of our hearts are devoted to this little guy.

With that said, Mom and Dad-Thank you for Everything you have done for me and the love you have given me!
