Sibling Photo Shoot

We have had some gorgeous weather here the past few days, so we took advantage of some natural light and got a few pics of the kiddos:

 Love this fun girl!

 We see this face a lot...soon it will be accompanied by rolling of the eyes, but for now I love it.

 We love this sweet boy!

 And they love each other!

 Also just had to throw these 2 in here - Sophie dressed herself and refused to turn her shirt around so it wouldn't be backwards...so she wore it like this all day. You can't see the full ensemble, the the shirt is complimented by some lovely plum-colored sweatpants.

Her pout is not to be messed with.

Zoo Day

A couple of weekends ago it was in the mid-to-upper 60's on a Saturday, so the four of us headed to the zoo for a couple of hours. It was so beautiful and we got to see some animals up close that we don't normally see.

A baby giraffe was born in the fall but she hasn't been outside much. It was great to see her moving around. I think Sophie was a little disappointed that a "baby" giraffe is still way bigger than she is.

The last several times we've been to the zoo we haven't been able to see any elephants. They're in a large exhibit and are very hard to find. But this day they were much closer and we had fun watching this one slinging mud on himself.

I love this picture of his arm around her. So sweet.

We love going to see the new flamingo exhibit. They are just fascinating animals and you can get so close to them. Last year when we were there Sophie got to ask the zookeeper lots of questions about them, so now she's our resident flamingo expert.

The Mook's view of the zoo was a bit limited, but he still had a great time and whenever we remembered to look at him between the animals he would give us a big grin. Poor kid...it takes a lot to get some attention these days.
