Poling Family Adventures: Music and Zoo Day

So the day started out like every other, Grayson and I were planning to go to the zoo so we got up and I fed him breakfast and then put him on the ground to crawl around while I ate. He crawled over to our radio/cd player that for some reason I have sitting on the ground... another fine example of my excellent baby proofing skills... and he turned on the radio. He seemed satisfied with the music coming out of the speakers and crawled away and into the living room. After a few minutes he must have decided he didn't like the song that was playing because he crawled back over, turned the radio off, and hit play on the cd player. He seemed happy with the selection in the cd player though because he crawled away and let the cd play in it's entirety. I have such a smart baby :)

Soon Cassie came over and we loaded both babies and both strollers into our car... not the Escape... the car! :) And we headed off towards the zoo. It was Grayson's nap time and I figured he would just fall asleep on the way there... no such luck. It is far to entertaining to have another baby riding with you in the back sleep to worry about things like napping! But we had a great day at the zoo!!! We saw giraffes up close because they were letting people feed them; we saw zebras and elephants and bears and penguins and lions and gorillas. I saw more animals but those are the big ones we saw up close that Grayson was interested in looking at. He seemed to like looking at all the animals but I got a couple good smiles while he watched one of the gorillas swinging between the trees.

Grayson and Mommy at the zoo!

Kaitlyn was trying to steal his Winnie the Pooh... flirting already :)

He finally passed out as I was standing in line to order a sandwich for lunch. I was just about to order and a little boy came over and was looking at Grayson in the stroller with a strange look on his face so I bent over to see what he was looking at and Grayson's face had fallen forward and was resting on his little snack tray and he was out! Poor kid!! He was so tired that he fell asleep before he even had a chance to eat lunch. I leaned his sit back and he turned his head and opened an eye like he was going to wake up but then his eye shut and didn't move for half an hour.

So sleepy!!!

Once we got home he decided he hadn't had enough animals for one day so he played with Boomer and Maverick for about an hour before taking another short nap.

Loves his puppy!

And his kitty!

His face in this picture just cracks me up

All in all we had a very good day! Even though he was so tired he was quite the trooper! And tonight he went to bed before 7 because he couldn't seem to keep his head up while eating dinner.
