The Zoo and the Like

Super Asher!! This has nothing to do with our trip to the zoo but Asher fits quite nicely into his father's childhood Superman T-shirt.

Last weekend we went to a birthday party at the Lincoln Park Zoo. This was the posse that we looked at animals with.

And these were the birthday boys. It's funny how they both thoroughly enjoyed the cupcakes but in completely different ways. The one on the right (Malachi) sped through his in huge bites and was looking for more. The one on the left (Lincoln) was a lot more tentative and savored his a lot more. Aren't they adorable boys?!!

Asher and Jayna.

I'm not sure what this monument was for (other than obviously "Schiller") but the kids seemed to really enjoy marching around it.

Here's a more recent video of Asher walking. He's getting better and better (and quicker). You'll notice a couple of Asherisms throughout the video: pulling all of the children's books off the shelf is one of his favorite activities (he does it to varying degrees pretty much any chance he gets) and going to play with himself in the mirror in the hallway is another favorite. Enjoy!
