Half Birthday Celebration

Hurray for the sweetest boy I know! 18 months already?!
Solomon is a very busy little guy. He loves cuddling up to read books although he lacks the patience to finish one. He is saying several new words a week. Tonight before bed he touched my head and said "head" and then he poked my eye and said"eye" and then "Euce"(gross).He is deadly afraid of bugs, mostly house flys.

We celebrated the day with a trip to the zoo with Sophie , and then we walked down to the toy store in the evening to let Solomon chose a new toy. He happily found the stroller at the end of the store and couldn't give it up. He tried it out with his monkey when we got home. I am sure it will get a lot of use over the next few years. Good choice Sollie.
Thank you for coming into my life. Here's to you babe.

I mean, come on.....

Goat buddy.

Trying out the goods.

Dream pets.....

It would have to be a Sheep. I laughed so hard just looking at their funny faces and wild unkempt hair - do's. I mean, how could you be angry or sad if you had a face like that to look at every day.
My favorite part of the zoo is the Sea Lions. They put on a little show swimming back flips in front of the glass over and over again,and they peek in just to make sure someone is watching. I could spend all day watching them.
So I guess my ideal future home will have space for Sea Lions and Sheep. Hey, here in Oregon it is do-able.We once visited the boat docks in Astoria and saw a man who had two huge Sea Lions sleeping on his boat and one on the dock right next to him. He even had names for them....I will have to see if I can find the pictures I took.
