Way Over-Due Hogle Zoo Post

On Sept. 26th Canon and I got to go to Hogle Zoo with Grandma (Mom Dahl), Tiff, and her kids. It was a much better zoo experience than when Mark and I brought him to the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago in July. (That day was super hot and the animals weren't doing anything but hiding in the mud and in the shade.) Canon seemed to really enjoy the different animals, but I think his favorite part was spending the day with his cousins. Enjoy the plethora of fun pictures!

I wasn't sure how he's like the carousel, but he loved it so much that he was mad when it was over.

showing me his ticket for the second ride on the carousel

He threw a fit when the train took too long to return from refueling...then he threw a fit when it was time to get off the train. Needless to say, he liked the train.

Once we were done with the train it was definitely time to take Canon home...way past time, really. He cried much of the way home because he was soooo tired, but it was a really fun time with family. Thanks for inviting us to the zoo, Tiff. We had a great time!!

Canon's Growth and Milestones

11/01/2011- Canon turns 2 years old today! Over the past month and a half he has made many 2-3 word sentences. He is so smart and sweet!!
9/19/2011- Canon strung a 2-word sentence for the first time today. He was looking in an empty bag where there used to be toy cars and said, "No car!"
9/9/2011- Canon got a toddler bed (a blue car) and has loved the change out of the crib. He transitioned very quickly and loves the bed. For some reason he still waits for someone to come get him when he wakes up.
6/13/2011- In case you haven't read the posts, Canon's language has really improved over the past couple months. He doesn't have many words that are pronounced correctly, but he usually gets his point across. He likes to talk a lot, but English seems to be a bit difficult for him to express himself. :)
6/13/2011- A little while ago I noticed two more teeth coming in. The K-9 teeth on his upper jaw are poking through, but they're taking their sweet time to come in. The k-9s on the bottom jaw came in around the same time, but they grew in faster.
3/19/2011- Canon has been a little testy lately, and I've just discovered that he has molars growing in on all 4 quadrants of his mouth. Not really sure which ones came first, but I think the bottoms are in farther than the tops. Yea for molars. Maybe he'll actually start eating better now! *crosses fingers
3/11/2011- So far Canon does not have any official words, but he will sign "milk" when he wants a drink (or if he wants pretty much anything, even if the milk is in his hand already). He also has started identifying and imitating animal sounds.
3/11/2011- Very shortly after teeth #s 5 and 6 were coming in, the 7th and 8th ones cut through on the bottom. I was actually surprised to rind them all the way cut through before I noticed them. He now has the four front teeth on both top and bottom.
