Zoo

We went to the zoo today. It was such a beautiful day and we had a great time together. We haven't been to the zoo in about 3 months with moving and having a baby so it was good to go back for a visit.

This is what Abigail did the majority of the time we were there:

We went in the afternoon this time and the animals were more active. And I guess because it's not summer time the crowds were pretty light.


This was the first time that we have seen the rhino walking around:



Abigail can now say she has ridden a train:
I have to share another Abigail poop story : ) I was feeding Abigail by the playground at the zoo, and I was sitting on a grassy platform with a concrete area that you could sit on, but it wasn't a flat surface. I went to go burp her and realized my hand was holding a soggy bottom. Joe and Emily were at the playground so I couldn't get Joe to help me . . . so I wrestled the diaper bag out from under the stroller with one hand, and then laid the changing pad on this ledge that wasn't flat and tried to lay Abigail on it. I had to get her clothes off of her since they were soggy with poop . . . bless her heart . . . if anyone was watching me they were either gasping that I didn't drop my child or were getting a good chuckle watching me try to balance her on top of the ledge. At one point Abigail had no clothes on or diaper while I tried to clean her up with one hand and using the other hand to keep her from falling. At one point her flailing hands swiped some pine straw and landed in her hair : ) Anyway, Joe got there as I was trying to wrestle some clothes back on her and came to the rescue.
