Bunny Love

Our visit to the Easter Bunny went even better than expected. As soon as Harvey saw the bunny up close, he started his high pitched squeal "heeeeeeeeee!" Whenever we hear that sound, we know that H has spotted an animal. The Mall of America Easter Bunny counted as real animal for H and he was very happy to sit on his lap, pull his hair and attack his glasses. Every one at work asked me- was he scared? Nope.

Harvey looked adorable in his sailor suit (Thanks, Sugar!) and attracted women all over the mall. Judging from our experience with the bunny- H may be headed towards a career as a veterinarian or an old-timey sailor. I am hoping for old-timey sailor.

Farm babies!

Lindsey pitched me on a trip to the zoo earlier this week after seeing H lose his mind over a commercial for the farm babies. It's a month-long exhibition at the Minnesota Zoo and it's all farm babies: chickens, sheep, pigs, cows and goats. Especially goats, because they let kids walk right up and pet them. Even kids as young as Harvey.

Normally, I dislike zoos and trips to visit them. And today was no exception. But once I pushed the stroller all the way to the back of the zoo to the exhibit (and I mean ALL the way to the back), and saw H squeal over those goats, it was all worth it.

Kid seriously lost his mind.

Later, we took him back for a 2nd visit with the goats and caught the attention of a medium-sized black one. H grabbed a tiny fistful of hair on his back and tried to climb on. In return, he nibbled H's hand. Neither seemed to mind the other very much. In fact, if either of them had much of a memory, they might have even become pals.

Nerves....

Today, H spends his first afternoon with our new PT nanny, Alex. I am sure he is having a grand time, but I am nervous. On my watch this weekend, H had a scratched face, bump to the cheek and a run-in with ole, grumpy cat- I don't think that Alex can do worse. 

Happy Saturday

Saturday has meant no nap but a nice trip to the liquor store where we made friends with the owner. Discussed how large Harvey is for his age, had a nice time.

Get up, stand up.

This is a too-long, badly blocked, poorly shot video of H standing up. Sorry.

I like being chased by Daddy

Our new favorite toy is the cat water fountain. Daddy has spent all evening retrieving H from the fountain.
