Grandma's Visit








We've had so much fun with Eric's mom in town for the last 5 days. She hasn't been down since Will was Maggie's age, so a lot has changed! We spent a lot of time in the yard and at the park, but we went to the zoo today. Needless to say, the weather's a little different here than where she lives in Michigan! You can see by the picture that Maggie really enjoyed her first trip to the zoo. As usual, she was a perfect baby, sleeping through most of the day and taking a bottle like a champ (she usually isn't very fond of the bottle). Will had so much fun looking at all of the animals, but the best was the tiger. For some reason, the tiger LOVED (or hated, it's hard to tell) Eric and kept jumping up on the window and pawing at him everytime he got close. It was a little scary propping Will up on the ledge to see, but of course he loved it. Feeding the birds was a hit, as usual. We finally figured out how to get them to land on our sticks, but then Will would try to grab onto them so they didn't stick around for long. Maggie has officially found her toes, too, and it's so cute to watch her in her bumbo seat trying to grab both feet at the same time. That thing in the middle that helps hold her up is really getting in her way!
