Day at the zoo!

My new favorite picture of Hannah, 5 months old!What a fun afternoon. Big Boy E spent the day (and night – a sleepover!) at his friends house, so Daddy and I took Little Girl A and Hannah to the zoo. The last time we were there, Hannah was still inside my tummy!


It was also another first. We decided to graduate her from sitting in her carseat on the stroller to letting her sit in the stroller. Thank goodness it had a five-point harness because she still can’t sit up on her own.


She LOVED being able to look at everything. It was so awesome! She had no clue what she was looking at, but she was just all smiles and “big eyes” (what she does when something fascinates her). She lasted two hours before she fell asleep.


Hannah's first time sitting like a "big girl" in her stroller!Little Girl A loved it too. Even though it felt weird not having Big Boy E there (it was like a part of us was missing), it was great to see Little Girl A exploring as the ‘oldest’ sibling. She had no one to copy, no one to harrass, and took on this independence like we have never seen before. It was really good for her.


I can’t wait to have more fun days like this (but next time with Big Boy E with us!)
