Farmington House

Lyla and I explored Farmington House today just up the street from us before going to the airport to pick up Daddy today. She loved walking on the brick sidewalks – it’s a beautiful place with lots and lots of krinkle leaves:

We’re so happy to have Daddy home, and he’s really happy to be done with Boards.

Lyla’s favorite today: Playing with her “girls”, the Fisher Price people given to her by Aunt Tevan. She loves to watch them talk compliments of Mommy. When I make them say, “Hello..”, she picks them up and puts them to her ear like they’re a telephone.

The Zoo!!

Today was a perfect day to spend at the Zoo. Lyla was excited about our adventure, which started with a few puffs. She loves her snack cup – she leaves a trail of Puffs everywhere she goes:

We started with the flamingos – Lyla was immediately enthralled. She pointed at the birds and said something that sounded like the “B” sound as she looked on with Daddy:

 

I think she was considering jumping in with the swans and ducks:

And, then, she enjoyed a close encounter with the missing link. Well, I guess he isn’t really missing:

She decided to wave to him before we left:

More puffs after the gorilla encounter:

And one last stop before we headed home:

 

And, what would a trip to the zoo be without at least one stroll?

In other developmental news, Lyla is now “dancing”. She works on perfecting her “Hottman Move” by bending her knees when she hears music playing. She’s really enjoying the dogs next door and her ongoing search for “krinkle leaves”. She’s in for a treat when the leaves really start falling. :)
